I tried to write out a long and complicated fan theory, but I wound up disagreeing with myself. Whoops.
What was it?
Long story very, very short;
The Force Awakens is a sort of meta-commentary on the franchise as a whole. Rey is all the young, new fans who were introduced to SW by TFA, Maz Kanata is a levelheaded fan whose been around a while, Kylo is a crazy fanboy, Han is George Lucas, Luke is Star Wars itself.
Haha Kylo Ren is a pissy TFN type. Or wait, if Han is Lucas, then Kylo Ren is… us?
Pfft. You’d never catch me using a crossguard lightsaber. It’s two standard lightsabers* for me all the way.
*One with a crimson blade, the other a teal blade.
