George Lucas ‘really liked’ new Star Wars film
One would think that these attributes would have been a priority for Supreme Leader Snoke and The First Order in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, but apparently this new evil organization is still searching for their groove.

Star Wars The Force Awakens hits cinemas in the United Kingdom on Dec 17.

In fact, screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan went so far as to say that “there has never been a character like Kylo Ren in the saga”.
Lawrence Kasdan, the film’s co-writer, said: “He doesn’t have his sh*t all together”.
