Official Episode VIII - Kylo Ren Discussion Thread

Ben! Why are you making the same mistakes as your grandfather?!

Skywalker boys...

 

After TFA i was like " oh sweet bantha boy, Kylo is gonna be so pissed in the next movie!"

After TLJ, i was like "holy moly, Kylo is going to be so super FCKN pissed in the next movie!"

I really hope that poor guy will find some relief in Ep 9.

"My question is about the last scene between Rey and Ben. He’s kneeling on the ground, he has his father’s dice in his hands that his uncle gave to his mother and his mother left for him, and he’s looking up at the person who’s the most important person in the world to him and before that door shuts, if he could have a do-over to go back to that moment, what do you think he would say or do differently and why?"

Rian Johnson:"That is such a great question. Will you be mad if I said that it’s such a great question, I don’t want to answer it? Only because I think that’s such a beautiful notion of “what does he regret in that moment”, it’s the same way I think about in Revenge of the Sith, that mask is coming down, that beautiful shot of Anakin’s eyes right before it goes over and you see that glimpse of… Is it fear? Is it regret? What is it? What is going through his mind at that moment? That’s that kind of moment for Ben and I don’t want to put that moment in your guys’s head. I feel like that’s a moment that everyone should read into themselves. But just posing that question is really beautiful."

The comparison between ROTS and TLJ is pretty great. Kylo Ren gets much more tortured (by Rian) as I've expected, @FN-3263827. He's worse than Snoke. Haha!

 

worse than Snoke how? what do you mean?
in the way he treats himself? : o O

 

I meant Rian (and yes, I was joking).

 

Rian Johnson loves Ben (and yes he calls him Ben).
one day (two years from now ~ ha!) these trials will be over.

 

I obviously love Kylo/Ben too and I still want to see him suffer a lot.

 

BWHAHAhahaha ~ you people are twisted. <3

 

Twisted like Ren himself. Do I want him dark, light, alive or dead? I don't know. Hahahah!

 

you can have him any way you want so long as at the end he's alive, in balance, and at peace. : D

So you're telling me he can be a villain at the end after all.

 

being in balance and at peace is not typically the state of villainy. ; D

 

Kylo Ren isn't your typical villain. But Palpatine seemed to be at peace... Haha!

 

Palpatine at peace? a man all twisted by Force lightning hiding under a cowl and cut off from most human warmth, living in constant threat of his Empire being undermined by a buncha scrappy rebels?
nope. that's not balance nor peace either.

and Ben isn't a villain anyway, though he's definitely trying to be at the end of TLJ. XD

 

I don't want to imagine the "warm" and "cosey" feelings while he tries to find some sleep in a spaceship surrounded by all his FO-"friends" that owe him one blaster shot or two, a totally messed up subconsciousness in state of permanent alert, with a wisper of good old uncle Luke in his ear every now and then..
sounds not that funny.
Maybe it would be the better joice do NOT FINISH what he had started and to find a little hut on Ach-Too and a lot of time to regrett ..

 

and caretakers to take care. ; D

 

I think RenBen would prefer a special "no-one" to take care...

 

as long as he takes care of himself, that's okay.

but part of balance in working in harmony, so a few friday nights every now and then kicking back some suds with the locals wouldn't be a bad thing.

you know these folks work up a mean brew. : D

 

Hahaha! Great!
You know what; YOU are wise, as always, @FN-3263827 !
I have just kicked back some suds, as you said, with some very old and dear friends of mine from secondary school in my former home town after nearly a century last weekend and
I would wish RenBen a bunch of such "brewing bros". Way better than KOR.
THAT would definitly help him out!
