Even you know that's not true.
He doesn't lookanything like the son of Han and Leia, not in my mind.
He looks like Philip from "This Where I leave You", but slightly less menacing without facial hair. He needs the mask, cause nobody is gonna fear him otherwise. I think that may be part of his character backstory, he was picked on in Jedi Hebrew School for being the wimpiest kid there so he donned the mask and turned to the dark side.
I've always been just slightly underwhelmed by the original. Probably prefer Jedi overall (heathennnn), but A New Hope definitely has the best peppy spirit and probably the funniest of the filmus.
You know that's who that is, though, right?
Yes, otherwise how would I have come up with such a specific comparison. The movie happened to be on HBO last night also.
Basically Kylo does not look very villainous without the mask, looks like a kid who was the nerdy kid growing up and is seeking his revenge on the jocks who picked on him.

I do find the obsession lots of people have with these movies fascinating. I just can't see myself ever getting involved enough to actually care if everything in the movie makes sense within the rules/physics of the universe. It's sci-fi! It never makes complete sense. I just want to see a good action movie that captures the imagination.Just got done watching The Force Awakens. Some thoughts:
Laz takes Star Wars way too fucking seriously.

TFA passes the eye test for me and it's a blast to watch, so it's all good.
I absolutely do not think that Ren is a weak Sith at all. He's torn because he's more of a balance to the force than anyone before, and because there's always such a polarization of either light side or dark, instead of embracing both, he feels wrong, and he can't understand why things don't work out. He's pulled to the light, but he resists it, so it impedes his abilities.
They have never shown a Sith in the movies prior, doing some of the things that Ren was doing. Possibly because of the inherent violence (and lower ratings of the previous films), but we've certainly never SEEN a sith do much more than force choke people, even though we've always known through other materials (books and games) that they have the ability to shut down organs. I assume when he was torturing Po early in the film he was crushing him somehow from the inside.
I firmly believe we will see a MUCH more powerful Ren in the sequels, as he goes off to train. He's young, and he's very confused. But I think he'll end up being a much more important character than you'd think, come the trilogies conclusion.
Holy fuck, the tourist and I have found things we can agree on.

We've never seen a Sith do much more than Force Choke people? What about Dooku lifting Anakin/Obi-Wan into the air, holding them in place, then throwing them? Or the Force Lightning that we've seen Dooku and Palpatine use?
