Kylo Ren is interesting because he's explicitly this weird awkward asshole who fails constantly. It's new territory for star wars and I identify with it.

Haven't seen Force Awakens, but I have seen Last Jedi. I really liked the idea of someone who was so fed up with both sides of the Force that he wanted to give up on the Jedi and the Sith entirely.

Of course, that's too interesting an idea for Star Wars, so they had to walk that back by the end of Last Jedi so that Star Wars can keep being Star Wars.

I guess I'm the minority here or rather I think Kylo could be interesting but it seems to be a victim of bad writing thanks to TLJ. Like he has potential but they haven't unlocked it yet.

I like what they've done with Kylo. A dark side character constantly feeling regret and doubt and pull towards the light rather than the cliched opposite.
I also like that he didn't (yet) have a redemption arc. I don't think every story has to go that way.

The interesting part about it is that technically neither Kylo Ren nor Snoke are Sith. They're Dark Jedi, yes, but not Sith.
The differences may be semantic at best, but they're there.

My problem is that Kylo comes off as an immature brat instead of someone you’re supposed to fear. I understand he’s grappling with his inner demons and the like but he really comes off as a child who wants a toy instead of someone who instills fear.

You say that like the thought of an immature brat who wants a toy doesn't strike fear into the hearts of parents and babysitters everywhere.

Kylo is that immature petulant child, only he's been given real tangible power. That's what's frightening. It's like if your shitty two year old suddenly whipped out a gun.

Which is also a fairly standard fear that most American parents and babysitters have.

I think the problem for me is that LF keeps on trying to make Kylo Ren the next Darth Vader and he’s not. He’s not intimidating in the least. He reminds me of those teenagers who act as if they are so oppressed because they’re a bit quirky and act like an asshole for no good reason. He’s one of the major failings of this new SW trilogy and it got worse when Rian ‘I Have a Hard On for Kylo Ren’ Johnson stepped in to direct the TLJ. Instead of trying to make the character scary or a credible threat, he tried to make us feel sad for Kylo and fucked up fantastically on that front

Just an FYI, I have no love for Rian Johnson.

I went back and watched the original trilogy recently, because I'd never actually seen them, only the prequels when I was growing up and, more recently, Last Jedi.

They're pretty good movies, and in a weird way, I think the much lower budget of the first one was to its advantage. The lightsaber fight in it is laughably bad, but because they don't have the budget for any neat special effects, the Force is more of a mystical sense than a superpower. Off the top of my head, the only time someone actively does something with the force is the Jedi mind trick.

Also, now that I've seen all of them, I can see the all the bits and pieces that Disney is Disney-ing in order to make the new movies feel like Star Wars. If there's one thing that dystopian media conglomerate is good at, it's making things that feel like the things that you remember.

Another question: is anyone genuinely excited about the Han Solo movie?

Yes, but mainly because it's more classic era Star Wars.
I would be more excited if they let Lord and Miller finish since they're solid.
