[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 7595548, member: 4348"] The movie wasn't really clear about it, but in Snoke's Throneroom he talks about balance. He states basically that as darkness rises, light rises up to meet it. In addition, he talks that as his apprentice grows in power, his equal on the light side would also grow. Snoke came into existence probably when Luke Skywalker already was around. Even if Luke cuts himself off from the Force, Snoke already was around. Snoke thus is the master. However, as Luke had several apprentices, Snoke did not, but it balanced itself out in that he was able to turn some weak apprentices. As they grew in power, especially Kylo, one would need to rise to balance out that equation. This would be Rey and their equality in ability is shown in the Throne room as they battle over the lightsaber. They are equals in the force at that point and thus, the lightsaber is split. I think that is correct...or the Force has a way to maintain it through Lukes sacrifice. Even if Luke does not realize it, he is being guided by the Force in this. This probably also is an indication about what Luke was talking about in TLJ. This is that if there is to be balance they cannot be on the side of light or dark, but in the middle. Someone who can use emotion and have it influence them, but not necessarily that of fear, anger and hatred. They could use it like Luke did in Return of the Jedi with love, compassion, and hope. What will these new Jedi be called? If they could be balanced between light and dark they would be neither Jedi, Sith, or even light side user or Dark side users. They'd be something new. In the next movie, if the Knights of Ren are in it (and the poster indicates they are) by necessity something would need to balance it out, such as one of them joining Rey, Rey becoming even more powerful than all of them, or another light side user rising up. I'm thinking one of them may turn and join the light side, or all but one will be killed off. [/QUOTE]
