Ep 8 is what will make or break this trilogy.
Absolutely. TFA in my opinion did a fantastic job of developing these characters (even though Poe wasn’t developed as much as Rey, Finn and Kylo Ren) and making us care about them now it is time to let these characters stand on their own legs by bringing them into new and unexpected story lines that will shape the rest of the Saga. We also need answers to at least some of the questions TFA left us with. Why does Rey have such a strong affinity for the Force? Has Kylo fully embraced the Dark Side or is he still feeling a pull to the light? Who is Snoke and what are his aspirations? What has Luke been doing all this time (and “nothing” is not acceptable)? What is the state of the galaxy after the destruction of the Hosnian System?..and most importantly for me who exactly are the Knights of Ren? The apparent darker tone bodes well so long as the film doesn’t get consumed by trying to be dark rather than telling a compelling story.
