Just got out. 6/10.

The fin character was horrible. Poe should have replaced him as one of the main protagonists along side Rey.

I disagree. He shares much of the same characteristics that Anakin did and that's the person he is trying to emulate. Yeah he doesn't need the mask but he wears it because he is trying to be like his idol, Darth Vader.

I don't think he was horrible but he definitely was the weakest casting choice IMO

Dude, Christopher Lee and Samuel L. Jackson were some of the best parts of the prequels. Even with his stupid Purple drank lightsaber.

Better than the dumbest lightsaber imaginable.

There's a reason his lightsaber is like that. He's trained but still very rough around the edges meaning he didn't know how to properly make his weapon. Also the crystal he used to make his lightsaber was cracked. Because it was cracked it made the power it released unstable which is why it has the vents on the side and why it has a more "rough" look than the Luke/Anakin lightsaber.

Kylo Ren's lightsaber looks like that because it is an Ancient Sith design. His Sith Lord - Snoke - is thousands of years old and that's why his saber is based off of an old design.

Kylo and snoke aren't sith





His lightsabre is like that because he isn't skilled enough to make a stable one.

A single cracked kyber crystal, barely able to contain the weapon's power, necessitated the lateral vents which produced these crossguard quillons and gave the weapon's red plasma blades an unstable, serrated appearance. Kylo wielded this weapon while working alongside the Knights of Ren and the First Order.

This thread has become so out of line with the general consensus it's rediculous. I enjoyed up to a point but I'm out.

Is that the retconned reason they are going with? That he used a shitty crystal to start with so he made a shitty lightsaber?

You can't be fricking serious.
They had a stormtrooper with a pseudo-lightsaber mace thing. So obviously the tech is there.

And these people made a Planet.
Made into a giant weapon.
That uses a sun for power.
To destroy multiple planets in the galaxy.


And you're trying to tell me that they didn't have the resources to A. Fix the broken crystal.

Or B. Find a non-broken one?


No.
The reason for the lightsaber is some studio exec said "you know what would be cool? Like a broadsword thing. But it's a lightsaber. You know, bzzzzzzrrrrr, zoop zoop, swish swish wuuhhhhhh."

And because they control the purse strings no one had the balls to tell them it was a stupid idea. It's like a damn 9 year old designed it.

I mean, think about it. With an actual broadsword, the crossbar isn't made up of two additional blades. That would be stupid.

We get it. You didn't like it. Why put so much effort into picking it apart?


It's a star wars movie.

You're wrong on both accounts. The Visual Dictionary for the movie confirms everything I said.

I'm glad everyone had the same attitude towards the prequels.

The visual dictionary doesn't say he is a sith. It just says he fell to the dark side and people call him jedi killer.




He isn't a sith.

Snoke has already been confirmed as a Sith and he's the one who has been training Kylo Ren soooooooo again you're wrong.
