Tweets from the dark side: Say hello to Emo Kylo Ren

As we saw in Phantom Menace, it was said Anakin had no father and was conceived by The Force.

‘Force Awakens’ smashes opening-day mark
Surprisingly this did not help Disney’s share price in the USA , with its shares down 4 per cent on Friday, as the overall market suffered declines .

Surely, the fan reasons, Kylo (brought up by Leia and Han, and partially trained by Luke) would have known that, at the very last, Vader turned to the light, redeeming himself shortly before death and slaying the Dark Emperor Palpatine.


Gov. Jerry Brown grants Robert Downey Jr. clemency for past felony conviction
Downey’s life and career have rebounded, and he stars as ” Iron Man ” in Disney’s films based on the Marvel comic books. Most people pardoned along with Downey Jr had been found guilty of nonviolent drug and property crimes.

The Star Wars Force Awakens novelization dropped a pretty big hint about Rey’s who parents might be.


Markieff Morris throws towel at Suns coach Jeff Hornacek
So Morris in turn got hit Thursday with the old “conduct detrimental to the team” line when the Suns announced the suspension. I like the Suns to bounce back at home and win this one, but I don’t see why they should be favored by so many points.

According to the novelization, Kylo Ren recognizes Rey at the start of their epic lightsaber battle. But, why didn’t he say that he knew her when he was interrogating her?

“Of course, joining the Dark Side corrupted him, but he has, or had once, a good motive”.

Which doesn’t mean Rey isn’t Luke’s daughter. This also helps explain why Rey can use The Force (as she already had prior training). Kylo (or should we say Ben?) has close ties to certain people we’ve come to know and love over the past few decades in the Stars Wars world, and the struggles he encounters in The Force Awakens make him a unique character. Maybe this is why Han and Leia are no longer together, because Han did not want his son to be given over to a Dark Lord of the Dark Side in Supreme Leader Snoke, and he and Leia’s marriage fractured because of this disagreement. She is undoubtedly the hero of this new trilogy, and in keeping with the tradition of Luke Skywalker, she joins the action of The Force Awakens by leaving her home planet behind with zero familial ties.

One other caveat: Look at the official Star Wars: The Force Awakens poster, where Rey and Kylo Ren are positioned.
