[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 7594162, member: 59082"] Well again, its the third movie of three - so he has to make sure to tie up loose ends rather than create new ones...except insofar as they might want to set the stage for the next trilogy (e.g. maybe the Knights of Ren escape and become villains for later on). On a side note, I don't mind Kylo getting his helmet back as he is more imposing that way. I really like Adam Driver as a quirky Indie movie actor (e.g. Paterson, What If, etc), but for me he was miscast...his greatest strength as an actor is his comedic presence which is, by necessity, entirely lacking as Kylo Ren. Actually, his limitations as Kylo Ren makes me realize just how difficult it is for actors to play the tortured soul with immense powers...I'm wondering how Sophie Turner is going to fair as Dark Phoenix. Maybe, but I wouldn't hold your breath. Even if they kill the bloodline in this film, they're going to bring it back somehow, somewhen. Anyhow, one version of redemption we haven't seen is that he is redeemed and lives - including has to live with what he did. Or maybe he was just going deep undercover, even to the point of killing his own father, so that he could finish what his grandfather started and kill Palpatine, once and for all. I think something is always lost with CGI. Always. Even with nonhumans (e.g. Smaug was great, but I still prefer the dragon from [I]Dragonslayer).[/I] That would be so ridiculously over-the-top and gonzo that I'd like to see it. But can we really stomach seeing Hayden Christiansen back on screen? And don't forget Yoda! There'd be no way he wouldn't be part of the action, unless they do some big reveal that Yoda has transcended the duality of Light and Dark and follows a more Taoist style approach. My guess is that the FO is defeated, the Knights of Ren make their debut but they and a new Jedi Order are more part of the next trilogy. [/QUOTE]
