are the Knights Of Ren even a thing? It was a phrase I heard swirling around in the run up to TFA, but I’m not sure it’s even mentioned in the final cut. And what are they? Those blokes standing around in the flashback sequence? I’m about as interested in their story as I am the courtship of Mon Mothma’s great-grandparents.

Pls provide graphs showing how much force-units were exerted in each example. Pls also publish your full methodology.

Just stick to the plan Obi Wan!

Like she opens that video with a snoke quote “Even you, master of the Knights of Ren, have never faced such a test.” and they are shown in the flashback, people who invested in the force awakens a visual dictionary must feel like Rian Jonson has led them down a dark alley and then shaken them down

Reckon Luke should have been court martialled for turning off his targeting system, it paid off but what a gamble to take

#256

Obiwan tells Luke he has taken his first step when he has that helmet on, therefore no force steps beforehand, fact

I quite like reading this Knights of Ren stuff bc it shows that the new Star Wars films are accurately close to the old ones in that people will talk about characters that I have absolutely no memory or idea of whatsoever in these films that I’ve seen loadsa times

I kind of miss when a new Star Wars thing felt special. Think back just a few years and I wouldn’t have guessed it’d be this Marvel ubiquity thing

He should’ve at least received a dressing down - such showboating at a crucial point, even Han would’ve thought twice

I think my issue with completely random is it replaced inherited power with plain luck, and the later doesn’t seem anymore ‘the force is for everyone’ than the former. I don’t think force power should only be inherited, doesn’t really fit with the ascetic Jedi no family lifestyle, I think it is better if it is open to anyone, more like a spiritual enlightenment thing (not that I believe in that irl) where anyone given the right experience could develop it , and for me that’s what’s lacking with Rey, what experience gave her access, it can’t just be adversity given her experience is fairly common, just a tiny bit of backstory, some provisional Jedi training background that she unconsciously had build on to survive would have made sense of it. I don’t think she needs a Jedi background to explain her power in an inherited way, but rather in an gained exposure to/experience of way

Again I can fully see where you’re coming from there. It being something anyone can attain would be better. But I think the force being something that is forever seeking balance is interesting in itself - my own interpretation is that once Kylo turned to the dark side and Luke shut himself off from the force it looked for someone to bring the light back. Though why it seems to seek out lonely kids on desert planets I have no idea.

I’m interested to see how they explain it in episode IX anyways.
