Star Wars 8: What if Kylo Ren was the last Jedi?

sivertime — Tue, 24 Jan 2017 18:37:17 +0000

Who is the last Jedi Star Wars 8? We obviously immediately thought of Luke and / or Rey. But we forgot a third possible suitor, namely Kylo Ren …
Well, we finally know the official title of Star Wars 8 . And inevitably, it gives us indications on the plot of the film and on the fate of the characters … provided you can read them, these famous indications! So where’s interest to make some assumptions about what ” last Jedi ” and its identity. And it did not take us long to imagine that Luke Skywalker and Rey could well be affected by Title Star Wars 8 and they could both claim to be the last Jedi. Except, as we still talking about Star Wars , nothing is ever simple, is not immune to a turnaround. Because there are other protagonists of the new trilogy that could just as well be targeted by this title. Finally, a protagonist, more precisely. The editorial ‘of melty obviously wants to talk about … Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), aka Ben Solo, the other major character in the new trilogy . After all, has not JJ Abrams confirmed that the latter tells the story both from the luminous side of the Force and from its dark side? So, yes, Kylo Ren may well surprise us to be the last Jedi.
Of course, at first glance, such a hypothesis may surprise. But do not forget that before putting the Snoke Service, Ben Solo followed the teachings of Luke and he planned to become a Jedi . His ambition, his emotional instability, the stature of his parents too, who knows, have finally put him off this path. And it fell under Snoke, who then succeeded in attracting him to the dark side. But on the one hand, it is unclear under what circumstances Ben succumbed to the influence of Snoke. And, okay, he massacred Luke disciples (and it is clearly evil ), but it showed throughout the Force Wake he still felt very conflicted feelings. On the one hand, he wants to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather and stay on the dark side. On the other, he still feels the call of the light and even comes to kill his father in hopes of repelling the temptation to board the good side of the Force. All that to say that it is not immune to a change in the character, especially that Kylo Ren might (or might not) be redeemed by Leia in Star Wars 8 . It should be pointed out, however, that such a change, if it should occur, should be caused by a violent trauma – physical or moral – and that it could only take place at the end. But it is possible, Adam Driver himself has teased a radical change for his character.
But even if Kylo abandoned the dark side, why would he be the last Jedi? Is not Luke and Rey already one, a confirmed Jedi, the other certainly going to become one? Yes, but there is also the theory that circulates in which Rey would eventually succumb to the dark side, becoming the enemy of Luke (if that is true, we pity the poor Jedi), while Kylo him, so would the side luminous. And if we assume that Luke may disappear during Star Wars 8 , then yes, Kylo Ren, once more Ben Solo, could represent the last Jedi in the galaxy. Or at least the last one to have followed the teachings of a Jedi Master. So it’s true, that’s a lot of ” if ” we grant you. But again, we do not have much clues about the general intrigue of the next two episodes and all the theories on it remain valid for the time being. Besides one can also imagine that the English title ” The Last Jedi ” can finally refer to three characters – always provided, of course, that Kylo Ren abandoned the dark side. Anyway, as it is expected that Star Wars 8 adopts a tone darker and more mature than The Force Alarm , there is no doubt that Ben will have to face its share of Difficult tests. And these could well force it to change course … Do you think Kylo Ren to be the last Jedi?

Star Wars 8: Can Kylo Ren redeem himself thanks to Leia?

With the disappearance of Carrie Fisher, Leia could experience the same fate as Han Solo in Star Wars 8 or Star Wars 9. But what impact would her death have on Kylo Ren?
For almost a month now, the question before us as we, fans of Star Wars , is not that about the identity of Rey. No, one wonders especially about the fate that will be reserved to Leia. With the tragic death of Carrie Fisher and refusal to produce the digitally recreate Star Wars 8 and its sequel (phew …), the fate of the character has become more uncertain. In fact, it seems that there is only one valid solution and it is unfortunately our princess to disappear as Han Solo at the end of the Alarm Force . Sure, it risks us (again) the heart, but it is still the most logical. But if Leia were to die in Star Wars 8 or Star Wars 9 , he could what impact such an event have on the other characters ? If melty the question, it’s because Carrie Fisher was supposed to have a much more important role in Episode VIII in The Force Wake , his scenes were even apparently revealed. In one of them, should rumored to take place in Star Wars 8 , Leia finally regain her brother after years of separation. But in a different sequence, which would intervene, she in Star Wars 9 , our princess would be face to face with his son, Kylo Ren . Which leads us to wonder if the Knight of Ren could redeem himself thanks to Leia …
It is difficult to say anything about the mother and the son, since it is not known whether this scene has already been shot or whether it should even take place. However, there is nothing to prevent us from making some assumptions. If one assumes that die Leia in Star Wars 8 – which is far from being excluded – it is possible that his disappearance had a heavy impact on Kylo Ren. When he killed Han Solo in Star Wars: The Force Alarm , the young man hoped to permanently get rid of the part of light that still existed in him. But it must be admitted, Ben clearly has a problem with his father, and this for a long time! Throughout the film, he never ceases to express the ambivalent feelings he feels for Han. But he never mentions his mother. This suggests that Leia still represents for him a beloved figure but does not necessarily threaten his loyalty to Snoke and the dark side of the Force . However, the death of the princess could reverse the situation, especially if Kylo suffered a terrible change in Star Wars 8 .
Adam Driver has Tease there are some days that Kylo Ren, while remaining affiliated to the dark side antagonistic, unveil a little more humanity . But the actor has also let slip some words that lead us to believe that the wicked will not come out unscathed events of Star Wars 8 . When it has been asked by Larry King during a visit on Ora TV channel if Kylo Ren would still be alive at the end of Episode VIII, Adam Driver replied: ” It depends on the idea that you you are to be alive. “. Well, it’s not overly encouraging – and even rather disturbing! – for the character! So, some imagine that Kylo Ren will be seriously injured, perhaps as Anakin himself was in his duel against Obi-Wan on Mustafar at the end of Revenge of the Sith , leaving the In a position both fragile and delicate. If this is confirmed, imagine then what devastating effect could have on him the death of Leia!
If one sees things on the right side, it could represent some form of triggering event that would allow Ben Organa to redeem himself. For it must be admitted that the idea that Kylo Ren could abandon the dark side in Star Wars 8 or Star Wars 9 is not so improbable as that. And the emotional impact could convince him to return to the right side of the Force. Unless of course the disappearance of his mother does not push him further into the darkness. What is certain in any case is that should not appear Leia in Star Wars 9 and will require that its absence is justified in one way or another. And as it is after all the mother of Kylo Ren, who is at least as important in the new trilogy that Rey itself , it will have to have an appropriate response. Again, it was not until the release of Star Wars 8 whether these rumors and assumptions have a chance of being realized! Would you like Kylo Ren to push back the dark side?

Star Wars 8: Can important scenes from Leia be deleted?

Two important scenes of Leia in Star Wars 8 and Star Wars 9 would have leaked on the net. But it is unfortunate that the role of Carrie Fisher is ultimately reduced.
The year 2016 ended with a bitter way for fans of Star Wars with the death of Carrie Fisher . But after the shock, despite our sadness, we have quickly come to ask this crucial question: what will it happen to Leia in Star Wars 8 and above 9 in Star Wars? The filming of the second opus of the trilogy having ended in July, the actress had had time to realize all its scenes. Our Princess Leia is supposed, in addition, have a much more substantial role in Star Wars 8 in The Force Revival . And while Lucasfilm is now looking how to continue the adventure without one of its most iconic characters, two particularly important scenes in which Leia should appear seem to have leaked . According to The Hollywood Reporter, these two sequences would involve Leia and the two other men she loves most in the world, namely her son Ben and her brother Luke. We would indeed be expected to see in the next two episodes Leia find Luke first, after spending so long to find it. The second scene, for her part, could have confronted our princess of the space to Kylo Ren. A meeting full of emotion, Kylo Ren being both his son and the murderer of Han Solo. In short, as you can see, these two sequences would have represented two extremely strong moments for the characters in Star Wars 8 and Star Wars 9 . ” Would have ” yes, because it could be that the role of Leia in the new trilogy is finally reduced …
Also according to The Hollywood Reporter, Colin Trevorrow , the director of Star Wars 9 , have planned to meet Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, to discuss the future of Leia and means to overcome his absence. For it is necessary to make clear that the director had already advanced well in the writing of his script before the death of Carrie Fisher and that there is a good chance that Leia holds an important place in the plot of the third opus . But as it is very risky to replace Carrie Fisher by a CGI character, as demonstrated in the case Tarkin Rogue One , while his death is still fresh in our minds, directors and writers may be tempted to reduce the role Of his character in both opus. So it could be that several scenes of Carrie Fisher are so eventually deleted the final cut . But again, such a decision could raise the anger of the fans. After all, Star Wars 8 is a good way to say goodbye to the actress and Leia and reduce its role might seem like a bad compromise. As you can see, the meltynauts, there is not for the moment a truly viable solution. Colin Trevorrow is scheduled to land next week in Los Angeles to discuss this with Kathleen Kennedy. Perhaps then will we know a little more this time … But whatever happens, it is clear to everyone that Carrie Fisher will not be replaced in the role of Leia in Star Wars 8 and Star Wars 9. What solution would you prefer?

Carrie Fisher aka Princess Leia in Star Wars, back on this mythical character

sivertime — Thu, 29 Dec 2016 18:15:34 +0000

Carrie Fisher will always be associated with the character of Leia. In order to pay tribute, we return to the course of this mythical and unforgettable heroine of Star Wars.
The sad news will take us by surprise. While the year 2016, particularly cruel for the world of artists (David Bowie, Prince, Alan Rickman, Anton Chekhov), ends, a new tragic death has marked our daily lives. Carrie Fisher, Princess Leia unforgettable Star Wars, died last Tuesday following a heart attack, leaving behind generations of orphans fans. If it is crossed in movies or cult series like When Harry Met Sally or Sex and the City , of course, is for his role in Star Wars that we remember most of Carrie Fisher. The iconic Leia Organa remains today one of the most famous fictional heroines – and celebrated – our culture , recognizable by its macaroons in the hair which the actress, with his usual irony, never stopped To make fun of. Today as before, we love Princess Leia for her courage, her determination, her sharp tongue too. So much so that the find in The Force Wake – certainly exhausted by decades of fighting and separated from the love of her life, Han Solo – we even had deeply moved. So in order to pay him homage, the editing of melty returns to the course of this absolutely mythical character.
Frail white silhouette with upright chin, standing straight in front of Dark Vador … this is how we discover for the first time Leia Organa, Princess of Alderaan and leading figure of the Rebel Alliance. And in a scene, you soon realize that this little girl is not only courageous and determined but she also knows how to stand up to men, even the most powerful . And in the late 1970s, marked by the increasingly powerful rise of feminism, it is not nothing. Moreover, Princess Leia, despite her title of nobility, is far from being a damsel in distress, as are presented at the time all female characters of this kind. So Luke, Han and Obi-Wan try to save her from the clutches of Darth Vader, who subjects her to torture, but we all know how it ends. In the end, it is Leia who takes command of the group and allows them to escape the Stormtroopers who took them in ambush! ” As of now, you will do what I tell you, understand? ” Balance does indeed a Han Solo a bit grumpy.
It is clear, Leia does not depend on anyone, especially a man . Not only does she shoot at the blaster but, in addition, she directs the Rebellion, a leadership role that is then often devolved to male characters. So in 1977, Leia shakes up all the codes and throws the stereotypes to the nettles! But if she is also independent and proud, it may be because she failed, for a time, to be the main heroine of the intergalactic saga. Because yes, before changing his mind and creating the character of Luke, George Lucas had planned to place a woman in the role of the main protagonist. Then the director thought of telling the story of two brothers but, faced with the lack of female characters, then chose to transform one of them into a woman. That may be why Leia has inherited this little boy missed and determined!
And Leia obviously remains true to itself throughout the trilogy , sending stroll with many scathing remarks that Han presumptuous who thinks necessary – before falling under his spell – taking the lead each time Necessary and fighting the Empire with all its energy. The couple she forms with Han is also particularly atypical. Between two well-placed gates, Leia lets see a little of her femininity, as in this poignant scene where she is doomed to see the man she likes to be cryogenized. We all remember this bit of dialogue that summarizes all by himself the relationship of the two characters: ” I love you ,” she said as Han, who replied: ” I know .” No romanticism, there is no time for it! But it is once again that Leia in Return of the Jedi did everything to save the trapped smuggler in its matrix of carbonite in Jabba’s palace, without anyone’s help. If it fails, in the end, to implement its plan, it proves once again to what extent it is determined.
And then there’s the bikini. Ah, he has made ink, this costume two pieces gilded! Representation of male fantasy for some or, conversely, means to be free of human domination for others, we can say that this outfit – the most iconic Star Wars – is kind of controversial. This is Carrie Fisher, which we showed you a few photos of the filming of Star Wars , transformed into a sex symbol, almost reified in the role of a submissive slave to the desires of a large larva of space. And yet! In spite of this bikini which reveals (almost) everything and which could symbolize its vulnerability, Leia loses nothing of its impetuosity. Is it not, after all, that chokes Jabba during the battle on the barge in Episode VI, echoing his freedom and marking, symbolically, the emancipation of women? At least it is in this way that one can understand this brutal scene but oh so satisfactory (because one agrees, eh, we hate ALL Jabba the Hutt)!
Princess with a well-tempered character and who can not be told by anyone, Leia went through decades, joining Wonder Woman or Ellen Ripley in the pantheon of the iconic female figures of pop culture. Sure, after thirty years of fighting, our heroine took a few wrinkles and lost his androgynous figure but his energy has not faded . In The Force Alarm , Leia continues to fight for what she believes, endorsing the title of General of the Resistance, as if to erase her femininity even after his personal and family life ended in pieces. But she remains that princess we loved so much in the first Star Wars trilogy, which made us laugh as much as she moved us, and whose fascinating aura did not falter. His interpreter has bent his bow, Leia is not ready to disappear from our lives. Although some of us wondered sadly will look like the future of the Star Wars saga without Carrie Fisher and incredible character. Come on, it’s time for us to plunge back into the first trilogy and fall, for the umpteenth time, under the spell of this unforgettable princess of the stars. What scene of Leia do you prefer?
