A Thought on Kylo Ren

[Water Bob]

He doesn't scare me. Without his mask I look at him go...... "Does your mom know you're out this late?"

Then he reaches out with the Force and squeezes your heart until blood flows out of your ears.

Kylo Ren is the Star Wars equivalent of Star Trek's Charlie X. That's one of Trek's best episodes because it is so haunting--a tantrum throwing adolescent with the power to make people not exist.

Pretty scary to me.

Kylo Ren is not Darth Vader and was never intended to be Darth Vader.

I would agree, he is no Darth Vader.

It's also the part where we are reminded that Kirk had balls of steels, because he managed to talk the boy down (most of the time). It requires an aura of authority and confidence that few possess.
