Random Star Wars Thoughts

[Darth Justicar]

A few more more observations...

--During the Force vision, I'm pretty sure I saw Kylo Ren cut down one of his own Knights.  And there's a part of me that thinks it's because he wanted to spare Rey's life.  I'd seen that theory, but I think it's at least a possibility.  One of the things that seems to set Ren off is sparing someone and then paying the consequences (he left Finn alone and then paid the consequences for that one).  His freakout over "the girl" COULD be down to a similar thing...getting burned, as he sees it, over a moment of mercy.

--I saw a theory on YouTube suggesting Kylo Ren tried to commit assisted suicide on the bridge, but Han (obviously) refused to participate in that, so Kylo then did what Snoke told him to do.  I'm not entirely sure, but I do think it is possible Kylo went up there at least half hoping to die, and rewatching the scene, it does still look like a possibility.  Not going to say that's proven by any means though.

--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.

I don't think there was any intentional foreshadowing there. I think it was simply saying, if there's still light we can blow this thing to pieces before they can take us out.

I don't know--Abrams was laying on the whole Light/Dark symbology VERY heavy both with regards to Ren and to Starkiller Base...to me, there seemed to be something very deliberate about it.

I could be not looking deep enough.... perhaps another viewing is in order.

Looks cool, would never buy it.

but how is it episode VII?

but how is it episode VII?

doubt they would actually have him on the movie - that would make him a pretty old bounty hunter.

but how is it episode VII?

It's not, I don't know why the Disney store labeled it that way.  On the Sideshow website it isn't labeled as such.

but how is it episode VII?

Yeah, that's the thing that gets me.  Someone clearly named it that to try to increase its collector's value.

And to get rumors started & Forums talking.

Vader is father in Dutch.

Netherlands, not Germany.

There are many similarities between Dutch and...ahem...Deutsch.

It's cool but I would never buy it. I love how the tacked the VII tag on there, just like they do with every new SW toy, until the VIII line comes out...

It is cool, but I agree, way too pricey.



In other thoughts...

It just occurred to why there are so many people that associate themselves as Sith. Most people think it has something to do with a sinister nature, I've just come to the conclusion that it gives them a sense of identity. If you compare the two Force organizations it becomes a bit clearer.

The Jedi conform (not necessarily in a bad way), they act in the best interest of the group. This leads me to the conclusion that those that lean towards that persuasion are looking to belong. They want to be part of something greater than themselves.

Meanwhile, the Sith tend to distinguish themselves as individuals. Even in the taking of the new name when becoming a Sith Lord. The name adds to the marks one leaves on the galaxy. Especially once the Rule of Two was established, if "Darth" is mentioned, the name that follows is fairly recognizable.
