Enough of the stupid flirting with the Dark Side crap in al of the Star Wars lore.

If it is that easy to fall prey to the Dark Side, it is a good thing the Jedi Knights were wiped out and should be prevented from being reestablished.

I hope they do not go this route with even a temporary flirtation of this tired clich e.

Nice troll.

The spiritual battle between good and evil goes back to the beginning of time. Where do you think Satan came from? Hint: He's a fallen angel.

How is that a troll.

Not every force user has to flirt with the Dark Side.

Not every person flirts with being all out criminal/evil.

It is lazy writing and has become clich e as it is used in every damn single Star Wars story (novels, comics, movies, etc)

I started to say that is stupid as hell. Then I remember that I bought the fam some light sabers this week.

Make sure you get the ones made by Hasbro and make the whirling sound. A lot of them are crap.

Every one is tempted. We all have our weaknesses.

And how many Jedi actually turn to the dark side in the first place? Not many.

The ones that do turn to the dark side already have an inner conflict to begin with. Much like criminals tend to have had a messed up childhood.

and rey does not have inner conflict. only abandonment issues.

so no point in going this story route.

(and there is no proof they are going this route. I am just arguing against this route).

Although I agree that they need to be careful if they go this route (Rey getting tempted by the dark side). It will turn off some of us that watched the first two trilogies (Luke and Anakin were both tempted).

Then again, maybe Disney doesn't care about us old farts. It's been 40 years since Episode 4 and 18 years since Episode 1. Maybe they think this is a winnng formula?

This is why I loved Rougue One. It was totally original.

I'm going to be Anakin.

Abandonment is a pretty big issue.

Kelley Clarkson still breaks down in some of her concerts when she sings about her dad abandoning her.

I'm seeing posters of Leia in red as well. Thinking that will just be a theme, like the title logo.

Yeah I'm skeptical Rey goes to the dark side or that the red cloak foreshadows that.

Very curious why Kylo is fighting 2 people... And then it looks like Rey is fighting 3 guys with similar weapons. They get caught in a bad spot and have to work together?

Really liking that I know nothing about this one. Last time I found out too much before the movie.

Luke and Han are Rey's fathers (this is Disney after all).

Snoke used clone cells from both of them to create a hybrid. That is why she is part Jedi, part awesome pilot, even though she has lived her entire life on a planet and never left it, but can fly the ****ing MFalcon.

Not loving that poster, I'll be honest.

Doesn't quite feel like Star Wars to me.
Gut reaction:

Red Riding Hood, or
That recent Handmaidens Tale that's all abuzz in the female apocalyptic genre

If the premise is that there originally was no light and dark, then the "dark side" must be embraced within the force teachings to counterbalance the light, yes?

Is that the same bird that we've seen a few times in Rebels? Does the bird make any other appearances in canon?

If it is the same bird, and I'm not sure it is, this would be its first film appearance.

Any force birds in a C3PO/Jar Jar clone wars episode? I've only seen the episodes listed in the essential viewing lists.

The red to show there is evil in everyone. That is why the Jedi must end. It set a standard that was unable to be kept which lead to the rise of the sith & dark side.

I don't think they show up until Rebels, but I could be wrong.

I don't believe it is the same bird in Rebels. I believe these birds are residents on the island where Rey finds Luke. The idea is similar though, and I think it's why there has been some focus on force users and other creatures in Rebels.
