especially since Ren is the skywalker.

i'm almost at a point where i wish lucas was involved somehow.. at least to provide a basic outline of a story.

still looking forward to seeing where it all goes from here though.
That's been my vote since the beginning. I saw the film twice in theaters and once at home. I'm not feeling compelled to re-watch for awhile. I just don't "buy in" with Kylo Ren as a bad guy. He doesn't scare me like Vader did.
I dont think he's supposed to though and thats what i like about him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hear ya. So I guess my point is this: Unlike the OT, there isn't a single character on either side who is very scary. Maybe Snoke was suppose to be it, but that didn't work for me in TFA.

It would be super interesting to see a story where Rey gets consumed with revenge on Kylo, and in the course of the story their positions reverse.

Agreed, I think the new movies need to depart from the original formula and that's why I was excited to hear that guy from Looper was making the next one. We def need some WTF type, did that really happen? type twists. And I am optimistic about that.

Especially if it does turn out that Kylo killed her parents and Luke was simply her guardian and put her into hiding.
Rey going to the dark side is not out of the realms of possibility either.

That's true. Depending on how the story goes that will either be a (potentially correctable) limitation or unnecessary if this is really about a few character relationships against the background of a war

I gotta be honest here, guys. I've kept it in for far too long.... Darth Vader was never scary to me. Even as a kid, I always thought he was a little silly. Pfhew. That feels good to finally say out loud.

Posted: **Sun June 05, 2016 2:58 am**

I don't remember ever being scared of him either. I didn't think he was silly though.

Posted: **Sun June 05, 2016 10:16 am**

Probably because he is so completely ineffectivel in the movies.

Spoiler: show: Smaug is scarier

Posted: **Sun June 05, 2016 10:19 am**

That's not true. All the military leaders he deals with are terrified of him.

a lot of ren's petulant streak is in vader as well in new hope and empire. vader's most interesting movie is jedi

Posted: **Sun June 05, 2016 2:14 pm**

Petulant? Vader? Disagree. You don't have to be petulant if everyone's terrified of you.

He's a bit petulant with Luke on Bespin. Toying with him

murdering people whenever they express an opinion that differs from you or cant get you whatever you want as soon as you want it is hardly the picture of mature.

and people were terrified of Ren, too

I was going to suggest this exact thing.

Only after we separate pages 203-328 into Dime Builds A Model Falcon thread.
