I wasn’t super crazy about them bringing back Kylo Ren’s helmet in this film (although I really dig the cracked look), it actually might end up being a godsend for us to play with Kylo’s dialogue and chracter motivation for the first two acts of the film.
Fair point about taking advantage of it for new dialogue. But I actually wanted him to wear the helmet constantly until he turned back to the Light Side, for the simple reason that a helmeted/masked villain comes across as more threatening than an open-faced one. As a bad guy he was simply cooler with the helmet on. (Shrug)
I guess part of my motivation to pursue this idea [you have a good idea there, by the way] is that some people felt Kylo’s turn to the light felt rather sudden.
I didn’t think so, cuz it seemed obvious to me from both TFA and TLJ that his heart wasn’t fully in it.
To enhance Kylo/Ben’s inner struggle, however, I intend to make ample use of this superb fan film:

Bonus thought: I found an Adam Driver line from This is Where I Leave You where he says to Tina Fey’s character, “You’re the voice in my head.”
Great find. May I use it “in your honor”???
While the movie in general felt rather rushed, I feel like the opening scene was even more rushed than the rest of the film. . . . I didn’t even know that planet was Mustafar until I read about it later.
LOL! I didn’t know it was Mustafar before reading this thread!
What if we created an opening scene that mirrors the opening of The Phantom Menace? Instead of the Trade Federation invading Naboo, the First Order invades Mustafar.
This is excellent. I’m wondering if there’s some space-battle footage that could be used briefly from a Battlefront II cinematic.
I’m also considering a prologue in which Palpatine transfers his consciousness from Death Star II to a clone on Kamino - but then Kamino is attacked by the Alliance (using Battlefront II clips) and the clone facility is left damaged. The Knights of Ren are subsequently needed to bring a Sith artifact to Kamino to revive Palpy. This would explain why he’s not entirely restored physically in TROS.
