Kylo feeling weaker after killing Han, Star Wars DB - already mentioned but just wanted to quote another source to support.

Kylo and Rey having a connection, Star Wars DB - obviously a familial one because it's not like Kylo, expert mind reader, would recognize his sister or cousin Laughing

@SanghaRen wrote:On Larry King, when asked what aspect of Kylo Ren he was most excited for fans to see in the next film, AD's first answer was "humanity". He then moved on discussions he had with the directors (JJ and Rian) about terrorism and how both sides feel justified to do whatever because they think they are right. Does not spell Kylo = Vader 2.0 in the next movie and good vs evil is clear cut to me. AD also mentions being wary of anyone claiming to be right in another interview about the US elections. Gray territories...

For now, I'd say that the poster is like the biggest confirmation to date of us reading the story right. I have a big grin on my face every time I look at it. Big angry Luke, big human Kylo, Rey joining them with a lightsaber that looks crossguard and a red background. But what are these 3 doing together and in this layout? I don't understand. Kylo should have been all small in a corner with his helmet on looking menacing and Luke all shiny knight with Rey and Finn ready to strike him. I just can't I would have loved to see some faces when they first saw it. Big jab.

@SanghaRen

40. Kylo Ren's fall to the First Order is based on how terrorist and cult organizations lure in lost youth, particularly angry young men.

Omg, I have this particular dramatic scene I keep imagining that might happen at the end of TLJ related to this idea. (well ofc we all know which side Rey choose in the end, in my head haha)

I also foresee a music theme entitled "Balanced Force" or "Light and Darkness." But if Mr. Williams title it simply "Reylo" i'll be dead, lol. Whatever it is, I'm very optimistic Reylo will get a theme!

They're central to the trilogy, and the ones who will continue the Skywalker line after all is said and done. John Williams HAS to give them their own theme!!!

Hey all! Make sure if you add something:

-it hasn't been said already in the list
-you provide where it was proven right (interview, twitter, etc)

Keep em coming guys! Very Happy

@IoJovi

Time for my music prediction. Let's see what we have here...

To begin with...THE TRAILER

Rey's theme during "The light" and Kylo's during "The darkness"

and then we get this gorgeously satisfying chord when they show the books before she says "The balance".

That chord resolves Kylo's theme which just ended on the note B and the chord resolves a half step up to C major. This is moving from scale degree 7 to scale degree 1 (the dominant note in the key), which means we're moving from dissonance (unstable sounding) to consonance (more final or stable sounding).

The music foreshadows both Rey and Kylo will bring resolution and balance to the Force because the tones literally resolve.

After the chord hits at the books shot they add in the seventh B! That's the note Kylo's theme starts and ends on seconds before!

Fascinating!

Chord is at 0:58, Kylo's note sneaks back in at 1:00

Thank you for this! I also love the "epic" part of Rey's theme when she starts running and Kylo appears. Surely a coincidence Razz

Yup! Her theme overlying the shots of her and then Kylo's ties both of those separate scenes together! Great from a music editing perspective.

I never saw that one from Matt Martin! I don't know how I missed it. This is huge. Kylo fills the "Skywalker saga" requirement... Bang, in your face.

Okay, I only have two (and they were probably were already mentioned, but eh, what the heck)

-The trilogy will be all about Finn and Kylo's connection with each other (TLJ trailer, KMT and John's interviews confirm that Kylo and Finn won't be even in the same side of the galaxy)

-Rey and Kylo being like a Prince and Princess in a fairy tale (JJ's commentary)

Keep' em up, guys! Very Happy

Nothing to add yet, but just wanted to say I LOVE this thread, hilarious and soo true.

by **Kessel** on Sat 22 Apr 2017, 12:19 pm

I'm not sure if MSW spoilers count as they're not official? There's the fact Jason Ward said: "[f]rom what [he] heard a few times, Rey is reluctant with (if not angry at) Luke Skywalker because she has to kill Kylo Ren and she doesn’t want to do it."

Jason has since backpedaled somewhat on what he thinks happens during the Ahch-To showdown (in the article below), but he's never backpedaled on the "Rey doesn't want to kill Kylo" spoiler. In fact, he said he's heard it "a few times."

http://makingstarwars.net/2016/05/star-wars-episode-viii-the-knights-of-ren/

That spoiler is the opposite of what many antis thought would happen going forward. I remember many of them predicting Rey will be eager to kill Kylo and get "revenge" in TLJ. Rolling Eyes

Also, didn't Jason say (before TFA came out) that he'd heard what happens between Rey and Kylo in the interrogation scene would have repercussions for the sequel? That seems to bolster the point that there's possibly something significant between Rey and Kylo going forward in regards to seeing each other's thoughts, etc.

by MeadowofAshes on Sat 22 Apr 2017, 12:46 pm

@Kessel Jason did say there would be repercussions to the interrogation before TFA came out.

I think his predictions in the article are a bit off, but he isn't working from a literature background, just best conjecture based on spoilers. Rey and Kylo are the progenitors of the New Jedi, therefore they must access the temple - Luke needn't go in. Kylo looks to be lowering his weapon in the teaser, which is set at either sunrise or sunset, same as when Rey is running toward someone with her saber drawn, so that implies to me a (probably very uneasy) truce. I don't doubt they'll fight again, but he's not going to defeat her and run off to try to kill her again. We know that. Luke takes out the knights one by one. Kylo and Rey spar, there's some sort of fall, and they form an uneasy truce and end up entering the temple together.

Interview with Daisy where she says her parents left her on on Jakku:

"Rey’s parents left her at 5. We meet her when she’s in her late teens, early 20s."

Here's another one, "JJ lied about Khan/Cumberbatch, ergo every single comment in press interviews, social media, and DVD BTS commentary tracks are an elaborate conspiracy of creative and executive team members with the backing of a major corporation to lie to the public."
