    I agree, it looks just like him. He looks just like Biggs Darklight with that mustache.

    I'm not sold. Ive seen the photo, re-showing me won't convince me otherwise. I'm not trying to be a nerf herder here, I just see no defining features. I'm of the opinion these are simply extras for B roll footage of the base's exterior. I'm all for the possibility that I'll be eating my words come next December, there's just not enough evidence for me to go along with this theory.

    I will admit though, IF, (and that's one big whopping "if" IMHO), it is Driver, the fall from Rebel to dark Jedi/sith wannabe would be a fitting parallel to Finns rise from the Empire to rebel agent/Jedi.

    That is an intriguing thought. It certainly fit with the feel of the sequence.

    Stumbling out of the past.

    It would also open up for an army of sith, or at least like 3-4-5 sith antagonist moving on in the sequel trilogy, adding something new from previous installments.

    I really dont think they would go to the extreme of more than a maximum of 5 indivudal siths though.

    This I really feel like it is plausible, as it would also open up to the opportunity of sith against sith conflict/ lightsaber duels.

    Wonder if Kylo made his name up from both bloodlines?

    Skywalker/Solo minus some letters = Kylo

    That's really cool. Then the question is;

    ..is it just the way that the filmmakers came up with the name; throwing around the letters in the surnames of the bloodlines of the character. Without it being a concious thing in-universe.

    Or is it a point of the character?

    I think it would be cool if this son of Leia and Han Solo is obsessed by his history and the history of the galaxy in large. Feeling it in his veins, constructing this ancient lightsaber, coming up with this name for himself; Kylo Ren

    I just was thinking about his name and noticed the letters Ky and lo and thought it could be a play on skywalker and solo. But it could just be coincidence and mean nothing. Or it could mean Kylo is his name he named himself using both surnames, or might be birth name. I have no idea but just noticed it.

    Not only does the name allude to Skywalker and Solo, but we have that blurry picture of him probably as an X-Wing pilot, and we also know there's a scene where Han and Luke face off over him... Why would Han argue about a random X-Wing pilot? Ren also seems opposed to Rey. At this point, I think he's Han's son (Driver also kinda looks like a son of Solo in one picture).

    What they mixed Han & Luke DNA?
    The DROIDS cartoon?

    What have I missed?
