- i dont read into this stuff. this guy is on their payroll for at least 2 more movies. what else is he supposed to say?CygnusZero4

A little bit more on the Kylo Ren character.
- so he's not a sith. sounds like this snoke character played by the gollum guy is the main sith baddie.CygnusZero4
- I like the whole 'I'm a Darth Vader fanboy' angle, though. Slight twist on the nature of a villain.Continuity

Listen, given some of my previous posts in this thread I feel like I ought to come clean here.
I'll eat every word I said about Abrams. The man is capturing my heart on this movie. Making a puppeteer'd BB-8, a pretty fantastic visual homage to the original trilogy. And that sweeping desert scene.
Then there's this: http://www.theverge.com/2015/10/…
Which I think just shows a lot of insight to the level of care he puts into his craft.
I'll forgive whatever qualms I have with his story telling and just go for the ride.

"This model of function would then serve as a springboard for a small army of BB-8s, all with their own specialty, designed by Lee and Matthew Denton, the electronic design and development supervisor. There was the “wiggler,” which was static, but could twist and turn on the spot and was used for close-ups. There were two trike versions, which had stabilizer wheels, allowing them to be driven by remote control without a puppeteer in the shot. There was a version that could be picked up by actors and controlled via remote for specific reactions and movements. There was the “bowling ball” version, which could literally be thrown into a shot and never fall down (like a Weeble toy). Finally, there was the rod-puppet version, which was operated by Chapman and Herring — one controlling the head, adding nuance and attitude, and the other the body — who would then be digitally erased. It was this version that would be key and able to act on set. Lee and Denton did all their engineering without seeing the script, though they were told of certain BB-8-has-to-do-this benchmarks they needed to hit. It all worked out in the end."
- The RC version that showed up on stage was made after shooting. I think it's likely they'll improve the full RC model enough for it to be used in the next filmsjtb26

Well it definitely LOOKS like those new star trek movies, which im fine with, I like those 2 movies a lot, but it doesnt look like star wars.
It looks so super polished, I kinda thought it would somehow have a bit of that raw look the original trilogy had but it doesnt at all.
Only complaint I have is that new sith guy seems like he is a darth vader fanboy, which doesnt make sense because Vader turned out to be good in the end. He killed Sidious and ended the empire, so this guys motivation seems really misplaced.
- the scenes that don't look quite right to me involve all the ships / battles on planets - movements don't feel quite right particularly the Falconfadein11
- there is always going to be a trade off though - these films are a for a new audience (along with all us SW nerds who grew up with it). Loads of good stuff infadein11
- it I reckon...fadein11
- unless Luke went all https://www.youtube.… then not many people know vader turned back to the light side and killed the emperorBluejam
- Compared with the prequels that were mostly green screen this one seems to have way more practical effects and setsernexbcn
- Kylo Ren is not a Sith.severian
- I actually think it has more of the original feel in it than the polshed parts of his star trek filmsmonospaced

- This idea is stupid. He's too iconic of a character for this.CygnusZero4
- I dont think hes on the poster for the same reason Spock wasnt on the new SW posters, but was in the movies.CygnusZero4
- * ST posters. Mixing them all up now. lolCygnusZero4
- you can see him touching r2 in the trailer and the shouting face before the red explosion looks like it might be himhans_glib
- Guessing Kylo Ren in Emperor palatine that's come back ... pulled from Dark Empire series - http://starwars.wiki…atomholc

@bluejam, yes Im assuming people dont even know Vader turned good at the very end, but knowing that, it makes this villain seem like a fucking idiot right from jump street, and hard to take him seriously since his whole aim is based on something that changed at the end of Vaders life. Seems odd to me.
There must be some sort of sith above this guy pulling the strings or something, a new sith lord, and this Kylo Ren guy is basically just Darth Maul.
- see note above, Kylo isn't a Sith.severian
- you dont know that for sure. are you jj abrams?CygnusZero4
- This idea is stupid. It's too boring and formulaic.Al_dizzle
- Snoke is the Sith, Ren is a member of the Knights of Ren.severian
- never ceases to amaze me how dumb people are on the internet.CygnusZero4
- that stuff is all from rumors and supposed links. you do not know if snoke is in fact a sith, and that this guy isnt. deception buddy, ever hear of it?CygnusZero4
- christ.. I forgot how insufferable Cygnus can be.Al_dizzle
