Star Wars Force Awakens Spoiler Slumber Party!

Did Kylo Ren kill all the Jedi students of Luke? Or did he lead a band of them in a double cross of Luke and they're the Knights of Ren?

[Hedji]

Unknown, really. The movie leaves it pretty ambiguous. But I sort of like that. I'm pretty sure Snoke does refer to Kylo as "The Last of the Knights of Ren", so maybe he double crossed them too.

I thought Kylo killed "all" of them...except maybe one girl...who was left on Jakuu...if you subscribe to THAT theory.

I'm curious to learn about the timeline for Luke's failed attempt to resurrect the Jedi. At what point did Ben become Kylo etc.

I still hope this trilogy doesn't turn into a Kylo Ren redemption story.

[Gorn Captain]

I hope it doesn't end in that, but I'm kind of expecting it. His doubts are too obvious.

One other question: Ben Solo was seduced by Snoke. This would mean that at some point they met, even were in the same"corner". I don't think you'd be seduced by someone "on the opposite side", and I doubt they were secretly friends on First Order FaceBook.
So was Snoke, at some point, on the side of the Republic? Kind of like Palpatine was? Is he the Clone Emperor?

Here's Disney at it's finest.

"JJ Abrams wishes he had signed on to the direct the sequel because the script is so good!"

"Release date pushed back".

I don't think this is WB level problems, but they certainly heard the "OMG It's Best Of Star Wars In One Film" pushback. They got away with it the first time because enough elements were solid and the hype was nuclear. But a sequel doesn't get that kind of pass.

So sadly, I agree and do think they were planning on a Carbon-Finntype moment, and using his Troop programming is a note-perfect take on how Abrams works.

This is pretty cool....

[Nostalgiabuff]

that's great

[MIB41]

Fascinating how lawsuits pop up once you make big money... Criminal charges being filed against the producers of Star Wars. How ridiculous.

unreal. hopefully the courts toss this out as the garbage it is

[jwyblejr]

And yet they aren't suing over Ford's plane crash.

I mentioned before that it would be easy to duplicate Empire in Episode 8. It would also be easy to turn Rey into a Joan of Arc type figure once she receives some Jedi training. People could rally to the Resistance because of her heroics in battle against the First Order. Not just a ripoff of Katniss from "The Hunger Games" but an actual leader of troops in battle.

The Oscar snub continues for the next generation of Star Wars movies. No wins again. Interesting.

Has The Force Awakens left anyone's local theatre yet? I don't mean reductions in showings or no more 3D but not playing at all. It's at my local theatre.

My theater doesn't have it showing anymore. I went to see Deadpool on Thursday and noticed it wasn't showing.
