    I can't believe some don't believe Driver is playing Kylo Ren.

    Out of all the rumors and "spoilers" that's the only one that is obviously true. When I seen the trailer I was like hey look, it's Adam Driver in black.

    I have little doubt that Driver is playing Kylo Ren. My point was that we actually know next to nothing about this character in particular (Kylo).

    Other than he's most likely a villain, though perhaps not THE villain.

    We know very little about every character though, including some whose names remain a mystery.

    Exactly. Now don't get me wrong, many of the rumors and ideas sound very plausible and very interesting. I for one really like this "collector" idea, and this very well may be accurate. But I get the feeling that some people have convinced themselves this is a fact. I remember many "facts" about the prequels that turned out to be completely erroneous. :)

    Just enjoying the ride.

    True, for all we know, even though I highly, HIGHLY doubt it, Luke could even have some dark intention(s) now...

    I think Kylo Ren might be a bad guy AND a good guy......

    The dark side........................and the light?

    Yea, I dig that idea as well. Quite a lot, actually.

    Nah, but I think he will be a good bad guy.

    But wasn't that supposed to be what Lucas wanted to explore in the ST? That there isn't always a clear definition between right and wrong. Having a complex villain like that would certainly match that original vision.

    It'll be interesting to see whether Adam Driver's voice is altered when he has the mask/helmet on. An altered voice may be indicative of him making a conscious effort to hide his identity. Whereas, if he sounds normal or unfiltered, then perhaps it would indicate that he's wearing the helmet specifically to invoke fear or be a symbol without having to hide his identity.

    Its possible his character doesn't even talk at all until the last act.

    or at least when he is suited up.

    That would kind of suck. It would be like another Darth Maul situation. Pass.
    I mean, it'd be cool this time 'round to have a villain who voices his opinions and reveals to the audience what's on his mind. It wouldn't necessarily dispel the mysteriousness of the character, but could enhance his menacing nature.

    Didn`t he do that with Anakin/Vader? I don`t know, maybe Kylo is the X-wing pilot-turned-Sith wannabe, but I doubt that right now.

    As I've said, I want his character to be interesting. The Vader obsession is not clicking with me, while I understand the desire to want incorporate Vader into the film, I hope Ren is unique too.

    I personally love that he's obsessed with vader and potentially relics of the past. It's an interest change of pace with Star Wars.... Someone that wants to be someone feared, who looks up to the past, wants to relive it. It's a new angle for the series, an angle that in the right hands could be very interesting to see.

    I'm not too sure. The dual personality thing has been done before with Palpatine/ Sidious. Ok, admittedly the majority of us knew that truth from the outset, but for the same thing to happen with Kylo wouldn't feel fresh. I personally think he'll be a villain from the start. And Driver won't be a Rebel pilot who's pulling the wool over everyone's eyes. Not unless were all led to believe he has a dual persona, and then somehow Ren has a confrontation with Driver and kills him? Something along those lines would be cool. Everyone would be, 'So who is this guy?!?! ;)

    Could go both ways. If at any point he openly defects from his X-Wing unit he may not be trying to hide his identity at all


    Agree. And it if also re-canonizes Old Republic era then ever better hehe.

    The best part of it all...just seeing how he walked menacingly and how he turned on his lightsaber with a thrust.

    That's how I like my Star Wars villains, I want them to seem like a threat, to seem scary, dark, mysterious....

    I know Abram's has this down right because of how he chose to direct/film that scene. You don't see his face, only his back as he walks through a forest....

    The prequels were all over the place with villains, I think Maul was done well much like how im describing Kylo ( so far ) but Dooku never hooked me, same goes for Grevious... It really seems like they're trying to nail that powerful, dark figure type of enemy that Vader as a character got so well.

    It'd be more interesting if it wasn't a specifically Vader-obsession, but more of a Sith obsession in general. Hence him collecting Vader's mask, the weird (possibly ancient) lightsaber, the Reven-esque stuff, etc. Heck maybe he's got Palpatine's cane from ROTJ hanging on the wall of his lair or something.

    Well it was said that he collects all sorts of artifacts but maybe Vader being the chosen one leads him to obsess over him more.
