With Ford still cast in Episode VIII, I wonder if he’ll be the Banquo’s ghost to Ren’s Macbeth, silently haunting him in hallucinations as he grows more and more unstable.
I really hope Johnson sets up further rifts between Ren and Hux so that there’s a full blown schism in Episode IX, dividing the First Order between the former’s religious extremism and the latter’s militant technocracy.
