Whenever I see that photo of Rey all I can think is:
Hair down & grey robes Rey is the GOAT Rey look. Fight me.
Why would I fight you? It is the GOAT Rey look.

Sasuke is terribly executed though. They really fumbled every aspect of his character. Maybe it's kind of the inverse with Ben: He's not the most justified, but his actual actions during the story, his interactions with others, and his overall character arc are done well. (So far)Luke actually only took Ben under his wing when he was already in his twenties, an adult. Dude has literally no bloody excuse for any of his behaviour. "My parents didn't love me enough" sure as hell ain't enough reason to kill your own father.
In comparison, Sasuke is quite justified. Konoha took everything from him, his parents, his brother, his friends, his home... He lost it all. How could he not resent them and wish to destroy them?
how about, for once, a womans heart belongs to only herself >>?
I feel like a lot of people completely missed what was going on in TLJ. It was never about romance. The connection between Rey and Kylo wasn't about that. It was about two people with extremely unique experiences that they shared with only one person on earth - each other. The tension wasn't sexual but rather as to whether or not the the person could seduce the other person to their side/mindset/values, and not into bed.
And it was the best thing about TLJ.
Can she still wear the poncho? This is the important part.how about, for once, a womans heart belongs to only herself >>?
"I will say that we knew, going into this, that this movie, it had to be a satisfying conclusion. And we were well aware that that's one of the things that's been out there. I don't want to say that what happens in Episode 8 [didn't happen]. We have honored that. But I will say that there's more to the story than you've seen."

Case in pointHow about she doesn't get a love interest because that's tacky? Not every single character needs a love interest.
Case in point
Granted, they tried to hint at a love triangle between him, Leia and Han, but we all know how that goes.
They were droids designed to guard Imperial facilities but after the Emperor's death they were used to deliver his orders posthumously, namely for the Imperial remnant to head for the Unknown Regions and regroup. They first appeared in the Shattered Empire comic, and then the Aftermath books and Battlefront II.
JJ Abrams quote about Rey being ordinary...
I'm assuming that means that he's going to rewrite Johnson's plot point of her being ordinary to make her 'special' somehow. Shame to me if that's the case as one of the best bits of the TLJ was that the character had to learn to stand on her own and not hope that there were some great answers out there for her.
Wait wait wait, how does this work? Is there some Palpatine AI running to determine new orders or something? Where are these orders coming from? Pre-recorded?

Doesn't cutting that scene mean he wanted to minimize the idea of a sexual attraction being a part of that relationship though?This is my preferred reading of their relationship, too; however, there was some romantic/sexual tension happening between them in that scene in the elevator. Plus, Rian ended up cutting a scene where Luke tells Rey, "You opened yourself up to the Dark Side for a pair of pretty eyes."
It does but I think that there's a bit there. It's not straight up romantic, he's not in love with her and i turn she's not in love with him but they have a connection that's amplified because they've literally been inside each other's minds so they can feel what makes the other tick and their deep insecurities.Doesn't cutting that scene mean he wanted to minimize the idea of a sexual attraction being a part of that relationship though?
Rey is special, but the point is she isn't special because of who her parents were. I'm with you that this is one of the best parts of VIII, and I think everything JJ did in TFA and has said about the character has aligned with this view for example:JJ Abrams quote about Rey being ordinary...

JJ Abrams said:And so, I really feel like the assumption that any character needs to have inherited a certain number of midi-chlorians or needs to be part of a bloodline, it's not that I don't believe that as part of the canon, I'm just saying that at 11 years old, that wasn't where my heart was. And so I respect and adhere to the canon but I also say that the Force has always seemed to me to be more inclusive and stronger than that.
Now I want to see that played by Jim Carrey.For the curious, here's the Wookiepedia page for Lord Momin. Long story short, he was a Sith who lost his physical body while attempting something crazy with the Force. I say "lost his physical body" because his consciousness transferred into his mask. While trapped in the mask, he was capable of communicating with people. Including Darth Sidious, who took possession of the mask for a while.
I would hope it's not so underwhelming but I wonder if it's possible if Sidious attached himself to Vader's mask somehow. A lot of that blue energy was on it and it now shows the dark side to Kylo Ren.
I'd like to see the Emperor actually back and alive, but yeah this would actually work out because it didn't make any sense that Anakin's ghost would be showing Kylo Ren the dark side. Some people thought it must be Snoke.This would be really clever. I had assumed Snoke was playing mind games with Ben and making him think Vader was talking to him, but if Sheev is imprinted on Vader's helmet then he can still be pulling strings.
Wasnt the force choosing her to counter Kylo Ren in TLJ? I don't really feel like they made her not special.JJ Abrams quote about Rey being ordinary...

Snoke said:Come closer, child. So much strength. Darkness rises, and light to meet it. I warned my young apprentice that as he grew stronger, his equal in the light would rise.

I wonder if we will get some answer to what Palpatine was up to in the unknown regions?
There was a throwaway line in one of the books that referred to him sensing something out there, perhaps the 'source' of the darkside.
He had various observatories and distant laboratories set up too.
Rey is obviously "special" in that she was born with legendary powers that bested a powerful Sith apprentice. That doesn't mean she has to come from a certain bloodline or that everything needs to be connected. I hate how small the new main SW canon feels compared to the old EU. The cool thing about SW was always how the galaxy was vast and that there was so much cool shit going down.
I still think that The Old Republic setting and games feel more like Star Wars than most of the films.
This is a simple and interesting take that would carry through from TFA. Really not a whole lot of exposition to explain how, though it would be a little bit too much "wait what". It is worth noting that the entire Vader apparatus and visual identity, most notably the mask, was all from Sidious and representative of his identity as the Emperor's tool.I would hope it's not so underwhelming but I wonder if it's possible if Sidious attached himself to Vader's mask somehow.

"It's time to let old things die. The Sith, the Jedi, all of it."
Interesting choice of words in TLJ when neither Kylo nor Snoke were Sith.
Nope. That is the only one.A bit unrelated to the new star wars but I've been considering picking up the blu Ray copies of the original trilogy, is there any without that stupid Vader "nooOoo" in ROTJ? That was silly as hell.
