    Hot or Not Emo Kylo Ren (Star wars - Spoilers)

    Hey,
    I've seen the latest Star Wars during the holidays and I must say that as much as it is 100% better than Episodes 1-3, The vilains were a complete let down for me.

    Seriously, the guy is just a fucking teenager with a light saber.
    The kind that smashes his room because he's grounded for a week...
    He even struggles to beat a former (inexperienced) storm trooper during a light saber fight... pathetic
    I was half expecting him to fuck off on a skateboard after he's done with his Eudipus complex.

    Talking about Kylo Ren, this twitter account really nailed it (IMOO):

              At first, when he stopped the lazer, he seemed like a badass, but then...well, you know...

                  This was also my initial reaction and then I thought about it. Storm troopers are trained from birth to fight. So its not like Fin was a nobody.

                  The other thing is Kylo had been shot and seriously wounded prior to the fight. Anyone else that gets shot with Chewie's cross bow instantly dies in every Star Wars movie. Its a bad ass gun. Kylo survived, managed to track down Fin and Rey and fight them.

                      So why exactly does he wear a mask?

                      Vader needed it. Him however ??

                          I agree - villains were crap. The giant holographic supreme leader looked like a disney exhibit.

                          Overall I thought it was entertaining but basically I payed $10.00 to watch the original star wars with new characters.

                              I love the emo Kylo Ren. There's another fun one that just started for R2:

                                      You have a point with the cross bow shot, however, Fin was on trash duty and "freaked out" on his first fighting mission, so I guess he is not as badass as he could be if he was a seasoned trooper.
                                      Also, his (probable) cousin defeats him right after the fight with Fin, I understand that the force is strong within her and that can explain why he couldn't break her while she was in custody, but she has 0 saber training. him on the other hand, regardless of his wounds single-handedly killed all of Luke's Padawans and has probably trained since he was old enough to walk.
                                      I think that baddies in Star Wars movies should be much more badass than he is.
                                      Darth Vader aside, even Darth Maul was able to (almost successfully) take on 2 trained Jedi knights on his own.

                                      I would have liked a little more flamboyance than just surviving a Wookie shot.


                                      Oh, and he should really keep his helmet on at all times even though, as mentioned above, he doesn't need it for anything else than not looking like a teenage douche.

                                              I read about George Lucks being pissed because the story Disney used for this movie was nothing like what he had in mind and they just did their own thing.

                                              That's what happens George when you sell up, and fuck up the previous 3 movies anyway...

                                                      At first I was kind of shocked when he went apeshit on that console with his lightsaber, and I ended up enjoying that scene. I thought it was an interesting departure from Darth Vader, having Kylo Ren be a young guy with still much to learn. The best villains are their own worst enemy, and something in their personality gets them off track from victory.

                                                      Remember near the end, Snoke said he was recalling him to finish his training -- so it's not like he's some kind of stoic jedi master. The way he was portrayed for this particular chapter in the story made total sense to me. He'll come back more powerful and maybe a little more in control of his emotions.

                                                          Additionally, Ren was told to bring her to Snoke. So Ren wasn't trying to kill her during the fight. Between that and fighting with still-bleeding wounds, I can see where she would have more of an upper hand.

                                                              Again, all of this make sense, maybe it's just me being thrown off by the teenager face of the actor, but I still wonder how he could stop a blaster shot blind sided and then struggle so much in the last fight.

                                                              Also, the blatant lack of respect of General Hux towards him didn't help (the scene when they discuss how to retrieve the rogue trooper and the droid). Vader would have force choke the shit out of him for much less.

                                                              Maybe Episode VIII will confirm what you say and he will be a fully trained "Sith" lord packing a lot more meat.
                                                              For now I would much rather bump into him in a dark alley than his granddad.

                                                                  .

I don't think there was any impression given that Kylo Ren was someone of Darth Vader's stature or status. He was attempting to fill those shoes but immaturity was holding him back. Gives room for the character to develop over the series.

                                                                          Was happy that the force again is a mysterious power of the universe instead of some bacteria in certain people or however they were trying to explain it when Lucas was directing.

                                                                          Overall I thought it was entertaining but basically I payed $10.00 to watch the original star wars with new characters.

                                                                              I understand the big bad guy in the making thing.
                                                                              My concern is that there would have been ways to make him develop without having to picture him as a troubled teenager with a strong Oeudipus Complex (and a light saber).

                                                                              Anakin is left for dead at the end of Episode III.
                                                                              Luke is left for dead at the end of Episode V.

                                                                              They both come back later much stronger, but both were bested by characters with better training / experience. It sounds legit.

                                                                              Here, I wouldn't mind as much if he struggled to beat Rey or if Luke came back just to kick his ass. As it stands for me there's a lack of consistency between scenes:
                                                                              - The force stopping of the blaster shot vs the fight against Finn
                                                                              - The (ridiculous and unnecessary) console destroying scene vs not jumping General Hux on the spot during the argument.

                                                                              Again, it's overall a good movie but baddies have always been the meat and bones of Star Wars movies, this one is - for me - a let down on that aspect.

                                                                                      I think part of the problem with Ren is that he's not entirely all bad. He's talking to the burnt husk of Grandpa's mask to please help him... that he feels the light coming back.

                                                                                      I think that's the cause of a lot of him coming across the way he is. He's got these internal struggles that are outwardly manifesting at odd times. He felt totally in control in the beginning because he had all his badass Storm Troopers and Captain Phasma with him and he's after just an old man.

                                                                                      But later on, he's struggling feeling his dad nearby, feeling "the light" creeping in. And I think THAT internal struggle is why we got the stupid temper tantrum in the control room vs. force-choking the shit out of Hux. He definitely isn't a good movie heavy. I don't think we really had one in Ep VII.

                                                                                      I think that now that he's killed his dad, we will probably have a way more bad ass Ren for Ep VIII. Plus maybe he'll train with Snoke between now and then.

He even killed his father in an attempt to re-assure himself of his darkside affiliation / badassness.

I don't know the order of how those are written vs. filmed). And that it sorta explains some of the gaps that are bothering us about Ren. Might have to pick it up

                                                                                                                          I could be wrong on that.

                                                                                                                          I was mixed on the movie. It was fun to watch, but DV was the most badass of all badasses, so when the mask was removed, and it was ...well...just totally not what I expected. I get that there is a character arc that we have not seen play out yet, but I wanted to *see* someone who looked capable of being a badass.

Before he adopted the name of Kylo Ren, he was known as Ben. As Kylo Ren, he wore a black hood and cloak, a dark mask, and wielded a dangerous and crudely-built lightsaber he assembled himself. Ren wore a mask and helmet that altered his voice much like Darth Vader, his idol. However, unlike Vader, who needed a mask to keep him alive and hide a severely burned physique, Ren did not need a mask. It can be argued that he adopted a mask to be more like his grandfather, furthering the symbolism that the dark side acts as a tomb. His lightsaber, based on an ancient design dating back to the Great Scourge of Malachor, relied upon a cracked kyber crystal that could barely contain the power of the weapon, necessitating the lateral plasma vents that produced its signature crossguard quillons. The fractured crystal was also responsible for the unstable, serrated appearance of the weapon's red plasma blades. The crossguard exhaust ports were also useful in combat, such as when Kylo and Finn were pushing their lightsabers against one another, and Kylo was able to injure Finn's shoulder with his crossguard.

                                                                                                                                      It aligns well with the character.
                                                                                                                                      Correct.

(He did have a deep connection to the force due to his grandfather - Vader - and was proficient in some force skills - like mind reading. But he had little control over it).

                                                                                                                                      That's why he sucked so much (and was being bossed around by the young First Order fleet General). I expect when he completes his training with Snoke, he's gonna be much more deadly.

                                                                                                                                              We know that Anakin killed the younglings, and that there is a lot derived from the other movies. We know that Luke was teaching Jedi, and was betrayed. We also saw the vision that Rey had when she touched the light saber. There are definitely bodies strewn about, and what appears to be Kylo Ren.

                                                                                                                                              So the impression is certainly given that Kylo Ren killed the trainees.

                                                                                                                                              But does the movie every outright say that? If so, I missed it.

Driver did a great fucking job if you ask me. Not scary? He holds a great amount of power. He is very reckless with it. Very unpredictable to be around. Lets not also forget who is related to and who was teaching him . This is not about Kylo Ren, this is about fucking with the psyche of Luke. Fucking with Han and Leia are just an extra bonus. It also shows that the dark side is desperate.

                                                                                                                                                      And to all the whiners saying the movie is just a remake, well so what. Its pretty fucking badass actually.

                                                                                                                                                          I could be wrong on that.

                                                                                                                                                          I was mixed on the movie. It was fun to watch, but DV was the most badass of all badasses, so when the mask was removed, and it was ...well...just totally not what I expected. I get that there is a character arc that we have not seen play out yet, but I wanted to *see* someone who looked capable of being a badass.

                                                                                                                                                          The actor totally didn't work for me in that regard.

                                                                                                                                                              We know that Anakin killed the younglings, and that there is a lot derived from the other movies. We know that Luke was teaching Jedi, and was betrayed. We also saw the vision that Rey had when she touched the light saber. There are definitely bodies strewn about, and what appears to be Kylo Ren.

                                                                                                                                                              So the impression is certainly given that Kylo Ren killed the trainees.

                                                                                                                                                              But does the movie every outright say that? If so, I missed it.
                                                                                                                                                              I've seen it "only" once, but I'm pretty sure it's how Han explains to Rey why Luke vanished. I think he tells her that Kylo Ren was his padawan, that he threw a tantrum resulting in everyone dead and Luke fucking off to find his inner self.

                                                                                                                                                              It might also be the scene between Leia and Han in the resistance shelter but I lean towards the first one.

I don't know the order of how those are written vs. filmed). And that it sorta explains some of the gaps that are bothering us about Ren. Might have to pick it up

                                                                                                                                                                                  They can build an entire planet that can destroy other planets, but they get defeated by ancient Han Solo (who can't defeat 20 lowlife gangsters) and two meet cute kids with zero experience. Sure storm troopers are trained .... to flip theatrically in the air when they die after being hit by one shot. After he turns good, FN is basically killing dudes left and right. Stupid.

Sure there is some fun eye candy and nostalgic bits ... BUT it was marred by poor story telling, weak villains and unoriginal ideas. I saw the original Star Wars about a dozen times in the theater. Once is enough for this one.

                                                                                                                                                                                          She gives in without a fight and nicely deactivate the shields for them.

                                                                                                                                                                                              Seriously, the guy is just a fucking teenager with a light saber.
                                                                                                                                                                                              The kind that smashes his room because he's grounded for a week...

                                                                                                                                                                                              I was half expecting him to fuck off on a skateboard after he's done with his Eudipus complex.

                                                                                                                                                                                              Talking about Kylo Ren, this twitter account really nailed it (IMOO):
                                                                                                                                                                                              https://twitter.com/KyloR3n
                                                                                                                                                                                              Surprisingly it was one of the things that wasn't an issue for me. The whole Emo thing and the tantrums is what gave credence to his inability to match Rey when he was trying to extract the info he needed, and will more than likely be explained in the next episode as to why he and Luke parted ways. Suffering from an inferiority complex. And part of what gives Snoke the control he exacts over him.

                                                                                                                                                                                              I enjoyed the film, it wasn't stellar for me. I think that Rey was portrayed very well. Finn, well that could have been played better. I would expect less "Street" from a soldier that was taken as a child and raised with a single purpose. Some of the story suffered at the expense of needing more battle scenes. Not sure why R2 was immobile until the exact moment that his info was needed.

I think he tells her that Kylo Ren was his padawan, that he threw a tantrum resulting in everyone dead and Luke fucking off to find his inner self.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  It might also be the scene between Leia and Han in the resistance shelter but I lean towards the first one.
                                                                                                                                                                                                  You may be right on that. I've only seen it once too, and what I remember was it (Luke's defunct training) having ended due to a betrayal. Hopefully that will be expounded upon going forward.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      We know that Anakin killed the younglings, and that there is a lot derived from the other movies. We know that Luke was teaching Jedi, and was betrayed. We also saw the vision that Rey had when she touched the light saber. There are definitely bodies strewn about, and what appears to be Kylo Ren.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      So the impression is certainly given that Kylo Ren killed the trainees.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      But does the movie every outright say that? If so, I missed it.
                                                                                                                                                                                                      In the movie, Han Solo says that Luke was training a new generation of Jedi, and one of the ones he was training turned on him and destroyed it. The Wookieepedia seems to believe he did, in fact, kill them, but we haven't actually SEEN anything on the screen that says it specifically. The internetz are based on some canon, some speculation.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      IMO: I don't think Kylo Ren killed them. He may have led the Knights of Ren there to destroy them, but I don't think *REN* lifted a light saber to anyone. And I think THIS is why it's so important that he kills Han.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Just thinking about little Emo Ben... trying to be the big, baddie like Grandpa but having too much good like Mommy and Uncle Luke in him. If he had slaughtered a bunch of (potentially young) Jedi trainees, that should have put an end to a lot of the light side/dark side struggle he's going through. That's why he had to kill Han. Or felt like he did. Because that would cement that he's #TeamDarkside and maybe stop the ickle Light Side feelings he's been suppressing and fighting with.
