ST Adam Driver (Kylo Ren) in Episode VII

What the hell are you even complaining about? Because she referred to it as a force back and not a flashback? It's not like that term is going to be used in the actual movie so wtf are you complaining about

 

Why not? It makes a lot more sense than it being knocked off or something. Kylo is so obsessed with Vader that he talks to his mask, so it's not much of a stretch that he would wear it. Also, it allows for some awesome merchandise later on, i.e. Kylo action figures wearing Vader's burnt mask.

 

I am truly open to whatever JJ throws at us in TFA, but absolutely do not want to see anybody wearing Vader's helmet. I can't think of another way to say it, but that would just be stupid IMO.

 

he doesn't wear it.

 

I am not sure if that is sarcasm or not. He is not going to wear that mask.

I think he will take his mask off, in front of Han Solo.

 

Sure I mean I guess he can take the time to scoop out the rest of Anakin's skull which given the time frame and fact that he was set on fire is probably fused to the helmet so he could put it on his face. Why not? My only question is did he clean after or just slide it on and go Jedi hunting?

 

Yep, I think Han says something that makes him reveal himself before he takes his head off his shoulders.

 

Because I can. Why do you care? Don't worry about it...

 

Omg! This discussion of Kylo Ren wearing Vader's mask is comedy gold!

 

the mask is melted. no one could put it on. kylo would see it as sacrilege.

 

That's what I feel too. He seems to in total awe of Vader from the spoilers and to some extent in the trailers. I can see some crazy fan-fic with Kylo doing ridiculous things while wearing the helmet though. Good thing I don't read fan-fic.

 

Now, I am intrigued with the idea of Kylo Ren wearing Vader's mask. What would everyone's reaction be if he actually does wear it in the film?

 

Laughter

 

Like my reaction when I watched the first Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake and Leatherface chased Jessica Beihl wearing her boyfriends face. Da Fuq is wrong with this guy?!?!

 

Kylo just needs to find some elves so that they can reforge the mask and allow him to fulfill his destiny...

 

You know it to be true...

 

There is something about that way that Kylo walks. It stood out in the first teaser and now in the shot of him descending the ramp in the new tv spot. I can't quite put my finger on the right word to describe it, but every time I see him walk, it really stands out to me.

 

My biggest question is why does he wear a mask? Is he hiding his identity, is it so people fear him? Is he disfigured and that's why they only show the back of him in the trailer clip of the fight scene? Or maybe he wants to be Vader so bad he wears a mask and dresses like Vader.

 

Tapping Poe on the head like that reminds me a lot of mother Talzin and the father on Mortis. However that interrogation goes down, it looks like it definitely includes some weird Force business...

 

The mask is definitely more intimidating than his face and hair would be assuming he has no scars or disfigurations.

As for how Kylo walks. I'm probably imagining it but is his right foot at an angle as he walks? It's really hard to tell with all the smoke and his cloak. I hadn't noticed anything about his movements before so I'll go check other clips from other trailers.

Edit: Ok I can't find any clips of him walking with his feet in view from the 3 main trailers so I think it's safe to say I'm imagining things for now. Or he's just doing it for stability as he goes down the ramp.

 

Adam Driver said the hardest thing about playing Kylo is acting from behind a mask, meaning he worked hard on body language/movement.

I imagine the mask is more of a tribute to the Dark Side than concealing who he is.

 

i like that there are hooded villians and masked villians. kylo wears a mask and a hood.

 

I think he was torchering him with the force. That would be a new way to use the force in the movies. I like it.

 

Most likely that last one.
