Star Wars: The Force Awakens (12/18/15)

Ducks can be iconic. There's Daffy, Donald, Scrooge, Count Duckula, etc.

You forgot Launchpad McQuack and Darkwing.

i appreciate the fact that the costume design doesn't instantly have me creating a Hot Toys wish list... the actors / characters are going to either sell me or not. i am optimistic however!

He's got one on his crotch, and one on his shoulder. That's a Star Wars alien who knows how to use these things.

Tie Fighters should not be parked on ground. Can you imagine how long it took them to park them all straight and parallel? That's probably the real reason The First Order are so angry. Parallel parking..

The image in my head of pilots parallel parking all those ships made my day. Thank you.

His helmet is such the definition of design that's an instant classic. I'm getting one made right now and can't wait to start wearing it at random places

I bet you it's ****ing Ricardo Montalban under there.

If it looks like a duck, then it must be a duck.

Kylo with the saber pic is very very cool looking.









EW made an article regarding the backstory of Kylo Ren. I’ll go for a bulleted list again, but the short of it is that those who thought we knew a good amount of information about him are in for a surprise…



The First Order – which Kylo Ren is allied with – is an Imperial Remnant. The wording in the articles suggests that there are other Imperial Remnants besides the First Order.
As many have come to understand, Kylo is obsessed with Darth Vader and wishes to carry out his legacy.
Kylo’s mask actually has a backstory to it, although Abrams admitted that Lucasfilm designed it in such a way to pay homage to Darth Vader.
As those who have seen the crossblade lightsaber up close can attest to, the weapon is cobbled together by Kylo and is not a relic weapon.
EW hypothesizes that Kylo is the anti-Luke – he’s an individual that starts from nothing and becomes legendary. However, whereas Luke chose the Force’s Light Side, Kylo allied himself with the Dark Side in his ambition.
Abrams has said that Kylo Ren is not as fully-formed as a bad guy as, say, Darth Vader is. He very much sees himself as a hero in his twisted mind.
“Kylo Ren” is not his real name. It is a title, much like “Darth Vader”. He isn’t a Sith, either. He’s a member of an organization known as “The Knights Of Ren”, who bestowed the title upon him when he was initiated into their numbers. (Throwing this out there as a bit of speculation – Snoke is probably part of the Knights Of Ren as well, who I imagine are all Force-sensitive.)
EW teases that we might know who one – or both – of his parents are before the movie comes out.
Kasdan noted that he felt that Kylo Ren was the most original character he’d ever written for a Star Wars movie. He is a villain driven by his emotions, which Kasdan says Adam Driver really fleshes out on the screen.

Dunno....I like the looks of the new film.

All that sounds very interesting.

Kylo Ren is basically just Jacen Solo, altered enough so they could be no claims of plagiarism.

??? Disney owns the EU, they could copy Jacen Solo if they wanted to.


But yeah, Jacen Solo = Kylo Ren, Jaina Solo = Rey

Sounds like Anakin to me...

Dumbest thing ever. Make him a Sith and call it a day.

Maybe he meant claims of "unoriginality".

But yes, Disney went so far as to say creators would be encouraged to draw on the EU for inspiration.

 

[jye4ever]

Isn't

Spoiler

Rey the same as Darth?

Not a name.

 

[matticus]

Always two there are, no more, no less?
