So far so good....

Good pacing, and it hits the right emotional notes for a quality SW outing.

How did Rex and the other clones survive?

“George and I had several conversations about it…we had everything mapped out. If you watch the Season Six episodes on Netflix where Fives discovers the [Order 66] chip, Fives tells Rex…I’ve always felt the truth can break any spell.”

So today, someone asked Dave Filoni if Darth Revan would eventually become canon. Filoni responded "Anything is possible".

I had no idea who Darth Revan was, so I did a web search. As those of you that are familiar, Kylo Ren looks almost identical to Revan. I also read a passage in which Revan led an extremely long life.

Pure and utter speculation but could Andy Serkis be Revan?
[Reply]

I'm not an expert, but Revan is from before the Old Republic, is he not? That would make him like twice or three times the age of Yoda, right? Not saying it's impossible or anything....

And if Revan can be considered canon, then Darth Bane has a chance at this thing? Revan was consumed with Bane's knowledge (or was it the other way around? Where is SDW when you need him?)....

I'm not sure if the implications are that Revan is 5,000 years old or that they're using Darth Revan in the "present" tense.

But IMO, Kylo Ren and Revan look to be identical.

If he was, he'd look almost identical to Kylo Ren, which would be odd IMO.

There are pretty strong indications that Serkis is playing some ancient Sith, though. Plagueis still makes the most sense, to me.
[Reply]

Was Plagueis ancient? I'm asking because I don't know.

Maybe Kylo Ren is the Master
[Reply]

Can't be, unless we're being led completely astray by promotional material.

No. Palpatine's master.

And this would be the most awesome scenario

And this

It was also mentioned that his lightsaber is a homage to the past...

Darth Revan


Kylo Ren


Take Filoni's comments into account, this turns very very interesting....
[Reply]

And just because Obi-Wan was a vindictive prick at heart....

Kylo Ren is supposed to be a n00b.

Serkis' character is CGI/voiceover.

I think it's more likely they just drew inspiration from Revan for the design of Kylo.
