I think it's too obvious and poor storytelling if they went that way....that's what I'm saying.

Also remember the Jedi were like monks, a celibate life. Only Anakin was like f that noise, I'm bangin' Padme. That's the only part that really doesn't make sense for it to be Obi-Wan's since he was a pretty by the books Jedi for the most part.

He took it upon himself to watch over Luke and that caused him (and Yoda for that matter) to live a life in exile, enjoying neither comfort nor convenience.

I'm not saying he actually sired a child.

I'm going deep-end conspiracy theorist and saying his soul did :D

Do I believe it to be true? Nah, but it's fun thinking out loud about the possibilities.

I'm not discounting the theory, I just read a really good discussion on reddit supporting it and parts of it really make sense especially because there is little to no reference to the Kenobi's and could be a slight of hand type of trick with trying to push the Skywalker theory when in reality she is a Kenobi.

I honestly didn't like this movie. Hateful 8 was much much better.

I was surprised to see alot of people like/giving props to Kylo. I thought he was the worst part of the movie for me. I really liked his role until he took his mask off and started throwing tantrums. At that point I was like, this guy is identical to the modern day teenage emo brat. What's scary and evil about that to me? Nothing lol. Just makes me laugh at him. Atleast in Anakin there was pure evil in his eyes, with lust for more and more power.

And how bout the First Order General ginger? Didn't think he was all that impressive or intimidating. I mean what's intimidating about a young ginger?

So besides the snoke, the whole First Order is ran by some young ginger and an emo sith who argue over whether dad (The snoke) is going to be pissed at the other. What the fuck lol.

I liked Kylo much better than Anakin. I also like the destroying things with the light saber (something I could see me doing when mad). I would have held off on taking the helmet off and the father/son reveal until Han and Kylo were face to face.

Ben/Kylo is basically a young out of control brat more or less, he was supposed to be that way. He's very unstable mentally. I didn't know leaders or generals were always supposed to look scary vs probably being a smart tactical officer.

Everyone is expecting a "Darth Vader" type character...that's not what was attempted at all, JJ and Kasdan admit this freely.

Kylo Ren is a developing character, just like Rey. Too many folks complaining about how Ren is too weak with the Force and Rey is too strong...and these are usually the same folks that are saying TFA was a copy of Ep IV. Which is it?

Nevermind...people just want to bitch for the sake of bitching. Kylo Ren is a badass. I never saw Darth Vader stop a blaster bolt in midair, mind-rape people for information, or take a bowcaster bolt to the abdomen and keep on fighting when lowly Storm Troopers were blasted back off their feet.

I swear everyone wants the entire trilogy of movies to happen and be explainable in 2 hours of film.

Can't wait for Rouge One. I hope we can't tell its Hayden Christensen playing Darth Vader.

In real life, not really. In a movie, I would of liked them too. Like Tarken was old and looked like that typical old crusty general that just wants to kill every opposing lifeform and not give a single fuck about it. The ginger was just some guy who seemed in his twenties that some how is the top tier leader of the First Order?

I understand the point of the character, and they portrayed that greatly. However, before TFA, when I thought Sith I though evil, rule the galaxy and kill all who oppose type people. Then Kylo Ren comes along and there's nothing evil about him at all. Just that emo teenager mentality with a lightsabre instead of razor blades.

I'm not trying to force you guys to think like I do lol. Just stating my oppinion. After all, it is just a movie.
