Why you should watch “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”

According to the above video, this question may have been answered by “The Perfect Weapon”, a Star Wars canonical short story published in November as a tie-in with The Force Awakens. Abrams first passed (David Fincher being one of them), and we know that after a year of working with Abrams, screenwriter Michael Arndt was essentially “let go” as Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan took over screenwriting duties.

Several of the other tweets made fun of Kylo’s long dark locks as the old emo scene referred to in the name was largely based on hair. This way, the story still gets out there for anyone who cares to find it, but it doesn’t drag down the larger movie arc.

The added explanation doesn’t really change that much about our understanding of Kylo Ren or The Force Awakens, but it’s a fun bit of trivia and a great use of Star Wars’ multimedia canon.

So what’s with the Two-Face treatment? Perhaps it’s just because he’s still learning the ways of the dark side.

The recently-released coffee table book Art of Star Wars: The Force Awakens has concept artist Ian McCaig discussing initial plans to have Hayden Christensen return as a sort of half-Jedi, half-Sith ghost in Michael Arndt’s famously-discarded version of the script.

It’s unclear exactly how Anakin fit into the story of the movie, which no doubt was quite different from what we’re seeing now, but it’s not hard to imagine Ghost Anakin appearing before (or haunting, maybe?) Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren. If that happens, he may look a little something like the above artwork.

“Star Wars: Episode VIII” is expected to hit theaters in May 2017, while “Rogue One” will arrive December 16, 2016.

Last week it was announced on the most recent episode of Saturday Night Live that he will be hosting the very next episode for the very first time when the variety programme returns on January 16.
