    Mark my words. Ren not Hux will be the big bad.

    I don't know about the pineapple pizza, but the rest is certainly true.

    I think he did wimp out because he knows he would have no chance against an awoken Kylo Ren, at least not by himself.

    Yes, Hux will die. That's for sure. The only question remains: how will he die? Killed by an enemy? Killed by Kylo? Or will he go down with his ship? #FlamingHux

    Quite recently I've read a speculation that Kylo would offer Hux the hand of redemption, but Hux denies it. He wants rather go down like a mad king. This reminds me of a certain leader...

    He was used as a punch line for most TLJ. His one contribution was tracking the ship through hyperspace.

    Kylo also had only one true contribution. Killing Snoke. :p

    Okay, gotcha. But I feel like there is no way Hugs can overthrow Kylo Ren without help with Phasma being dead and what not. Though what if Hugs seeks out Thrawn? One can dream. Also @NinjaRen and @Maximus what happens in the "update your status" stays in the "update your status".:p

    while i think he'll likely go down in flames, i still hold hope that he's captured and put into reconditioning.
    i think his character has a lot to offer this galaxy and it'd be a shame to waste him.
    i fear Snoke may have sealed his fate by labeling him a rabid cur. because there is no cure for that. : o (

    he commands the whole FO army on a good day. : D
    and that army is not going to be happy to have Ren in charge.

    from Johnson:

    So … is this the first time Kylo has ever held hands with a girl?


    I actually talked about that with Adam [Driver]. Adam was like, “So … have I actually kissed a girl before?”
    I would think maybe he has. Maybe after hours in the Jedi camp, there was a game of spin the bottle — “spin the lightsaber…”
    you never know! : D

    the former Imperials don't like him because they think he's unqualified and got where he is as a result of nepotism.
    but he has the command of the younger crowd who are either scared of him, or respect his ruthlessness ~ and are in line with his scorching the galaxy methods.

    and based on his prior EU behavior, he won't hesitate to eliminate those who get in his way, ultimately, and it seems everyone knows that.

    he may just be the nastiest piece of work we've seen in this saga, and far more dangerous than any Sith Lord.

    Palpatine was prepared to use the death star to maintain control and instill fear. Hux... well i think he just wants to see them all burn.

    i also think it's interesting on repeated viewings (and from reading the book), that Hux is actually thwarted by his subordinates (and Snoke, and Ren).
    he gives the order to fire on Poe (admittedly late), but then we see Canady deriding him for not scrambling the fighters (basically pawning off the blame).
    who's not doing what here? Hux gave the order.
    the same thing happens on Crait. Hux's orders/instructions make sense and would have ended the Resistance, but Ren overrides him and wrecks it all.

    point number two is that Hux is idealistic in his own selfish way. all his internal thoughts in the novel are about "fixing" what's broken in the galaxy.
    he just happens to think he's the person who should be calling all the shots (probably with a nice crown on his head).

    He doesn't need Phasma for overthrowing Kylo, he has the KOR. The KOR will be against Kylo because he doesn't care about them.

    In my headcanon Ben had an "almost-girlfriend" at Luke's academy. xD

    oh ~ an excellent final point worth noting: Hux has never been afraid of Ren.
    not even after Ren choked him, has Hux ever cowed to him. and i don't see him doing it in IX either.

    That's just a matter of interpretation. For example my brother thought Hux became a toady after the throne room.

    I actually think Hux did this on purpose. He had to show Kylo that the new Supreme Leader needs him.
