Failure is such a key theme in the entire film...I don't know if anyone actually succeeds at anything they are doing, apart from Holdo.

This has been in TFA, in a much subtler way. When she was battling Kylo Ren, she was *this* close to killing him in rage. Only the splitting earth stopped her.

Hmm. Is Kylo Ren a truly Satanic figure? He has the fall from grace...discuss.
You know it is really weird but I think his shirtless scene is the ONLY time in SW we have ever seen a bare chest...apart from Maul in Clone Wars. Maybe that’s why it is so awkward-feeling.
One little thing I thought was interesting was that his mask actually looked more like Vader’s after he smashed it.

Michael Barnes wrote: But that was really just a variation of Luke hesitating to kill Vader. It’s nothing as seductive and beguiling as Kylo Ren appealing to her and quite frankly making a good case for her to sell her soul. The temptation he offers is something much more complex than giving in to anger.
I'd say Rey's worse since if the earth didn't split, Kylo would have been done for. Apparently the Force has other plans. Luke hesitated because he was already trained. But Rey... Rey was raw power, and anger.

The shirtless scene is there because they needed a way to show that they can see each other, and it isn't just a joining of mindsMichael Barnes wrote: You know it is really weird but I think his shirtless scene is the ONLY time in SW we have ever seen a bare chest...apart from Maul in Clone Wars.

Hopefully someone will explain this to me in terms of the EU.

In addition to the helmet, Kylo also bought a pair of Vader's old pants from a private collector. Vader was a bit taller than him.
