The whole desert junkyard aesthetic makes me think these should be Rey's people rather than Kylo's.

Like, these are just "cool" Tuskan Raiders.

Not that they look great, but those specific influences seem appropriate enough. Ren and the Knights formed at Luke's Jedi school on Jakku / Tatooine, so it makes sense they've have both a scavenger thing (Jakku) and Tusken Raider thing (Tatooine) going on.

Rey doesn't like the people who raised her. One of the big problem of this character from the start.

Also how much hazard pay are those Ren actors getting to wear those poo poo in the desert for 10 hours a day?

Oh poo poo, D-0 has a PRIMARY articulation joint??? That means, he's got to have at least two, right???



Also, lmao that Rey is just picking up the props from the main characters. I assume she will get Leia's power bikini or her commando helmet in the upcoming movie.

The only two acceptable endings to IX are Kylo redeeming himself by time traveling to 1973 and chopping Young George or the real life Current George walking onscreen and saying "they died"

Let's see what we've got here. A Red Stormtrooper, a Tie Interceptor with the space filled in, Low budget Kylo Ren (who was already low budget Revan), Rey in Tatooine/Jedi clothes with Anakins Saber, Just outright C-3PO, Chewies Bowcaster but even less creative and is just now a bow but in space, and unicycle-bot. TRoS seems to be carrying on the sequels fine tradition of having no artistic talent or creativity.

Hey, it's JANNAH'S energy bow. And Jannah is DEFINITELY a creative name, and not something that the writers came up with because the "h" and "j" keys are right next to each other on a keyboard.

Basically just there to sell toys. I mean, that is what Star Wars has always been, but there's not even a good movie to go along with these new figures.

The thing is everything in the OT and PT made awesome toys. They looked cool and did cool things. Who wants a toy of those ugly Salt Speeders that do nothing but suck and die when you could have a Snow Speeder toy that looks cool and lets you reenact the awesome Battle of Hoth on the living room carpet?

I guess Kylo's saber also has that assembled-from-junk aesthetic going for it.

...was that meant to be a point of comparison between him and Rey at one point..? Jeez, the NT is a mess.

A lightsaber that was custom-made by its wielder and looks fitted together from stock industrial parts is pretty much the norm.

Uhhhh spoilers... In Dr Aphra comics its revealed a jedi built a sniper rifle that shoots lightsabers and got excommunicated by the jedi order & killed because he was using it to destroy evil people but like... really blasting em to bits and poo poo and like non-stop. The aphra comics rule.

In the Darth Vader series there is also a lightsaber powered rifle that Jocasta uses against Vader.

pew pew guns shoot these weak little turd beams that barely shock folks. like leia got shot by one and only had an achey shoulder. lightsabers burn with the inferno heat of hell trapped within them. except lukes in rotj during the jabba escape scene at the point it was on the Low setting and acted more like a pole or rod

You know what would be a lot cooler than this? If they each just had a red lightsaber.

Seven glowing red lightsabers advancing on you is a lot scarier than one red lightsaber, one "vibro-scythe," one rear end paddle, etc

Sometimes simpler is better JJ!!!
