Have been super busy with work this week but I wanted to weigh in on the newest TV Spot focusing on Finn. I think it’s my favorite one thus far. It’s a pure adrenaline rush! I loved the banter between Han and Finn and his “Hell no” line.

I’ve seen a few grumblings that that language is in Star Wars but my mind immediately went back to Sir Alec Guinness saying “damn fool errand” in SW77. There’s a precedent for real, adult talk in Star Wars.

Also that picture from the Empire piece (that I’m about to read) is really terrifying. Kylo Ren as a character is very wicked looking. Not in an evil silly Darth Maul way (no offense PT lovers) but in a well…Darth Vader way, before ROTJ. He looks like he means business.

Been thinking a lot about that character and I suppose it’s basically common opinion that Kylo Ren and Rey are related (either cousins or siblings, my money is on the latter). I wonder too if the reveal that her brother is indeed the Galaxy’s newest badass won’t come until the 3rd act when his mask is off and he kills their father, Han Solo. Way too much conjecture on my part.

What, if anything, do we know about the alter-ego that was mentioned for Adam Driver known as “Darklighter”. Is he playing both sides or were those all flash backs or maybe just early production ruses?
