Very interesting, that. Not what I had assumed it to be, though the truth is equally unnerving.
I am oddly not disturbed by it. Quite the contrary, actually. Perhaps that says more about me than dear Kylo.  |

I think it would be more disturbing if it was the litter box. I personally hate getting fecal matter on my mask....

Yeah, I know how I feel about even cat FUR near my robes. Seriously, I clean the house before bringing my robes out, and if my cats get in my bedroom I make an immediate beeline to close the closet door so they can't get anywhere near them. |

I have a dog, there's no hiding from that. His hair gets places he doesn't even go. |

There must always be....Cat hair.
It is a rule. I've found cat hair from my cat on clothing I've not taken out of the packaging yet.

Based on what I saw, I don't know that he would. It looked like Rey missed his eye...I think he'll just have a nasty scar. But no requirement for the mask other than to (try to) hide his emotions.
Speaking of said mask, and you being Kylo's #1 fangirl...what was the function of the mouth plate raising up before he took the helmet off, and why would it come back down for just for him to slam it in the ashes? |

I'm no number one anything...I don't make any claim to such titles, as I do care about retaining my sanity, after all. But anyway, my guess (and this is a rough guess) is that there's something that if it didn't move out of the way, could clip him in the nose as he lifts the helmet away, if he's not careful. Quite possibly the vocabulator that distorts his voice, which I would expect to have a pickup (and sound canceller, to remove the sound of his real voice) underneath the plating. As to why it retracted again...when I watch TFA tonight I'll listen for it, but if there's no sound effect, then that's a screwup by the prop department likely using a static version of the prop instead of remembering what they did in the scene just prior, with the mechanized version. |

In other SW thoughts...
I just found out the Malak is Arabic for "angel".

I always just thought it was to move it off his chin so he can remove it easily. Like how hockey players who wear cages have to flip the cage up to remove the helmet. |

Doesn't Vader loosely translate to Father (in German I think)?

 My ex-roommate speaks German and is a SW fan...he makes fun of this too. |

Vader is father in Dutch.
Netherlands, not Germany.

True. My ex-roomie also speaks Dutch (missionary's son), so I probably got my languages mixed up. That, or Pitch Perfect messed me up:

Just watched TFA again...still holds up well on the third viewing!
A few random observations:
--I totally missed that Kylo Ren shoulder-checked Hux on the way out of the room the first time we see the two of them together onscreen. Yeah, there is exactly zero in the way of mutual respect between those two, on either end.
--Like son, like father: Han denied his identity when we first saw him, treating the way he'd been before as though it were a different person. Just like his son. Which only proves further what a LIE Snoke fed to Kylo, because we know full well that Han Solo was still the same man.
--Confirmed that Poe was wrong with his assumption that the only time when there's hope is when there's visible light. I'm feeling more confident in the idea of a Ren redemption arc, on grounds that just because hope is not visible doesn't mean it isn't there. And still hoping for Ren's survival (note again the formation of a new star when Starkiller Base was destroyed) as opposed to a blaze of glory and then death like Vader.
--Since someone asked about wounds suffered by Kylo Ren, looks like wounds to both shoulders, the bowcaster shot to the abdomen, and the slash to the face...which definitely missed his eye. In fact, the scar actually is TWO scars, and the blade never touched the area around his eye at all.
