"Personally, I kind of hoped and wished that maybe that would have been taken further in the other films, but I don't have control over that," Isaac told Variety. [...] "It seemed like a natural progression, but sadly enough it's a time when people are too afraid, I think, of… I don't know what," he said of a potential relationship between Poe and Finn, adding, "But if they would've been boyfriends, that would have been fun."

To be fair, I can honestly see Palpatine as being asexual. To him, power and control get his rocks off. Hell, he might have gotten so dark side intense that he basically shunted any physical part of the pleasure into just more dopamine production.

Also yeah, the kiss was supposedly one 'of gratitude.' You know what would have been as just as intimate exchange in that vein? If they'd touched foreheads with their eyes closed. No kiss required. Man, writing movies is easy, where do I pick up my first billion dollars?

It's funny that Disney made a movie that implied Sheev fucks then when everyone started pointing it out some suits got all "oh no :derp: " and had an official statement released that the shriveled old warlock does not, in fact, gently caress.

Incels don't like Kylo because they don't like characters with pathos in general. They like Leonidas from 300 and Nolan Batman characters, uncomplicated balls of masculine violence.

Star Wars makes pennies in China, if Disney was making creative interventions based on the China market that's just a declaration that the mouse can't do math, which is way more far fetched than any other claim in thread.

I think that’s more of general male attitude, the incels I’ve encountered recently are too self pitying and insecure to value anything that’s not pornography or infantilized slice of life anime. They’re like too far degraded to value that fantasy image anymore and either want revenge for anybody who ever told them it was possible or just watch the perfect plastic lives of their anime dolls.

I assume they don’t like kylo since he’s an obvious blunt comment on the insecurity they whine about all day on their various loser feeds.

They're two young attractive people. Well, one attractive young woman and one young good male actor. Nothing wrong with getting horney and wanting their characters to get it on. Kylo's got a lower body count than Luke or Lando or Poe, so on a sliding scale of evil he's probably not too bad. He did try to emotionally manipulate her though, which is a big red flag

A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

When focus testing said Adam Driver's chest was attractive, the writers failed to notice that they meant in a gravitational sense.

Kylo isn't in charge. I'm not sure there's even anything to suggest he's involved with Starkiller at all; in the first movie he's all about tracking down Luke Skywalker for Snoke. What did he do to "help"

In Ep 4 Vader obviously had authority but reported straight to the Emperor and was outside the traditional command structure, while Tarkin was the military head honcho directing everything. So in Ep 7 obviously Kylo has authority but reports directly to Snoke and is outside the traditional command structure, while Hux is the military head honcho directing everything.


This is because JJ Abrams is an unoriginal hack.

Intentional or not, I always felt that was great meta-commentary. It was said that when playing Star Wars, whether on the playground or with adults in a D20 system, or whatever, no one wanted to be Luke Skywalker, the traditional noble hero who accomplishes all the big important stuff, oh no, they want to be Darth Vader, because Vader is COOL, and BADASS, and he takes no crap, and its an immature mind that thinks the ability to choke someone to death with their mind because they're annoyed at the chokee is an incredible power fantasy.

Kylo Ren was exactly what would happen if all these oblivious Vader fanboys actually got a chance to try and be like Vader.
