My name is not a Ben Folds reference.

Edit: I only mentioned this because many years ago in IRC someone mistook Penfold for Ben Folds.

Useless is subjective.

We like to make sure people don't have to go digging around in comment sections for links to the original, the best quality version, or similar. Stickied comments are the natural way to facilitate this.

Kelmi · 1 points · Posted at 17:56:06 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

I like having a sticky comment for a mirror, but you could as well link the actual video in your comment as well. As it is, your sticky comment is useless.

If I click your link, it goes into a permalink and I need to go back to full comments afterwards, or I need to open it in tabs. I rather just scroll past your sticky to find the mirror itself so I don't need to go into permalinks.

One could say going into permalink is such a minor hassle, why complain? Well, I'm assuming that the point of this sticky comment is to lessen the hassle of finding the proper link, so why not go all the way and make it as hassle-free as possible? As it is, to me it's making it any less off an hassle.

In the essence, good idea but bad implementation.

We could, yep. I think some people do, but I don't think it's particularly fair to deny the person who found the link the credit.

I mean, that's fine.

Well, I'm assuming that the point of this sticky comment is to lessen the hassle of finding the proper link, so why not go all the way and make it as hassle-free as possible.

For the above reason: some people care about karma or being thanked for putting effort into finding a link, and it's not up to us (in my view) to just take their link and pretend we found it ourselves denying them any recognition.

I'm not sure that the inconvenience afforded by one extra click outweighs the above, but if it does for you then that's fine. Not everyone, as you say, has to click.

Kelmi · 1 points · Posted at 18:51:03 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

You can still credit the guy for his effort and link to the video at the same time. Here is an example:

Official YouTube link in this comment courtesy of /u/TheLuckiest.

Also, it's two extra clicks. One to go into the comment and one to go back to full comments. Including the two minor loading times, which becomes noticeable on really low end hardware. In mobile phones it can be even more of a hassle.

It's not like you guys even care that much about giving credit if we're real here. There's tons of posts here with a flair "original in comments". If credit was such an important thing to you, there would be a rule to prohibit content stealing videos and those kind of posts would be deleted.

We could do that, yep, that might be a decent compromise although I suspect it'll result in the majority of people bypassing the actual comment which supplies the alternative link.

It's not like you guys even care that much about giving credit if we're real here. There's tons of posts here with a flair "original in comments".

That's not true at all. We catch a huge amount of reuploaded (here used as a euphemism for 'stolen') content every day. It's a massive part of what gets removed.

It's also an ongoing discussion (my stickied post in /r/videos_discussion for example) both with users and internally. There's no silver-bullet for catching it, and so our current stance is to get rid of as much as we can at the time of submission in order to discourage people from posting it, but not to penalise casual visitors by removing content that makes it to the front-page. That would mean lots of front-page removals, which are a hassle for all concerned.

If credit was such an important thing to you, there would be a rule to prohibit content stealing videos and those kind of posts would be deleted.

And we do, as I say, routinely remove reuploaded content as spam, and have done for years. If something slips through (as, given the volume of submissions alongside the fact that there's no perfect way to detect reuploads, it inevitably will) and makes it to the front-page, then we flair it and point people to the comment which contains the original in the hopes that they'll go there instead of giving the spammer the revenue.

Kelmi · 1 points · Posted at 19:07:33 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

Thanks for you time and explanations. I would see the compromise of linking the video in the comments a similar compromise to what you do with reuploaded videos. I gave my opinion and thank you for listening.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!

Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.

Driver may have needed permission but it would have been crazy for them to say no. This skit is right in the tradition of Anthony Perkins' "Norman Bates School of Motel Management" skit in SNL's first season in 1975. Sigourney Weaver played Ripley on SNL a few months after Aliens came out in 1986 (and again in 2010).

I'm sure that Disney would add a contract provision in for their actors for appearing in character. There's no way they didn't with a multi billion dollar property.

They did do auditions for the new Star Wars a few episodes back. It had basis celebrity impressions, but also people from the new Star Wars cast.

So this has definitely been promotional from Disney. No problem with that though.

You don't need permission for parody, only for the actor to do it because of his contract. If Driver wasn't able to do it they would have done the same skit with him playing another character in it anyways.

It was in the issue where Deadpool gets married. Issue #27

I liked when Peter Parker went through a heart wrenching arc showing how even though he is one of Marvel's greatest heroes he to is just a man and unknowingly traded his unborn daughter to Mefesto so his Aunt could live. Then like a month later when a new writer came on he was like "Nah that never happened".

Correct. Story Group determines canon, they are more powerful than directors.

boardgamejoe · 1 points · Posted at 16:31:41 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

You better believe that if they hire people to write stories that take place after Episode IX and then when they make X,XI, XIII in 6-10 years later,they will throw out everything that took place in books after IX.

Sabbatai · 1 points · Posted at 17:39:56 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

That's never happened. The director doesn't make such a call with Star Wars canon.

They didn't want to tip-toe around the EU to avoid contradictions. If they didn't do that, then 7, 8, and 9 would just be re-telling EU stories in movie form.

Not a sith. Hes a knight of Ren.

Sith is a specific religion. Not all dark siders are sith. Not all light users are Jedi.

vertigo42 · 2 points · Posted at 20:43:21 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

Vader was the last Sith. Snoke and his Knights are not sith in any matter. THey do not follow the rule of 2. They are their own religion, their own ideals.

archg33k · 1 points · Posted at 21:03:46 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

True, I just hoped that snoke And Ren follow parallel of Luke journey. Luke is searching for first jedi temple and I'm hoping snoke is searching for or has uncovered the info on sith to really turn Ren into a sith if they exist in this Disney universe.

vertigo42 · 1 points · Posted at 21:38:55 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

Snoke is ancient, He has his own philosophy. The Sith are not needed. He probably sees them as inferior.

Snoke wanted Kylo because he was both born of the light and dark and could be turned into the perfect instrument for his plans.

lagasan · 1 points · Posted at 22:16:06 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

Were the sith originally a race? Going off TOR for that one, so I suppose that may be retconned too?

vertigo42 · 1 points · Posted at 22:52:01 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

It was in old EU. In old expanded universe exiled dark jedi landed on korriban and subjugate the native sith race. Over time the 2 groups became one.

Now in current canon there is no basis for this.

lagasan · 1 points · Posted at 23:42:48 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

Ah, thanks. I sorta liked that history aspect of the EU, but I'm ok with it being some mystery too.

[deleted] · 0 points · Posted at 10:10:52 on January 18, 2016 · (Permalink)

If you wanna get real specific a sith is an extinct race and even palpatine and Vader were just imitating their ways

vertigo42 · 1 points · Posted at 15:46:20 on January 18, 2016 · (Permalink)

No the sith and dark Jedi that subjugated them became one culture in old EU.

Just like the Jedi were the jeedai. That's all not canon anymore.

[deleted] · 1 points · Posted at 00:11:35 on January 19, 2016 · (Permalink)

Yeah true it's not canon which is sad because it's a much better story, though some of the eu is so dumb

vertigo42 · 1 points · Posted at 00:58:25 on January 19, 2016 · (Permalink)

Its a much better story compared to what. Nothing has taken place in pre movie timelines in ANY starwars media yet.

Only thing that is canon pre movie is Darth Bane.

How can it be a better story if there is nothing to be better than.

From the Greek meaning 'rule' or 'measure', it has come to mean in this context that body of work against which we determine whether something is real in a fictional context. Something is canonical if it comes from the officially designated body of work but would ot be if it came from, say, a work of fanfiction set in the same universe.

kippostar · 4 points · Posted at 14:53:16 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

If something is canon, in this context, it means that it is officially part of the lore of whatever storyverse is being talked about.

Obviously, in this case, it is a sketch and most definately not canon :)

This was really funny without taking away from Kylo Ren's character at all which I really appreciate. They could have easily went with the whole "emo angsty teen" routine but I felt like I got humor as well as some insight to the actual character, because Adam Driver does such an amazing job in it. It doesn't feel like he just did it as a throwaway parody of the role, but was actually playing the character.

Personal favorite is that monotone delivery of "Wow man. Sorry about that. Must be hard." while staring unblinking at the officer.

HWatch09 · 593 points · Posted at 11:32:24 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

It's actually consistent with his character. No empathy, only deals with the big picture, clear self esteem issues.

MasterGrok · 430 points · Posted at 14:01:01 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

Kylo has empathy. Him having to find a way to extinguish it was one of the major plot points of the entire movie.

But if you succeed in extinguishing something it is no longer there.

Not sure he got what he wanted out of that exchange, especially according to the novelization, which describes his feelings after it happened.

Saul_Firehand · 3 points · Posted at 19:27:10 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

Neat! That adds considerable depth to the character.

I felt like the struggle to suppress those feelings was not emphasized enough. I suppose more emphasis may have been a bit over the top though.
The subtlety was well done.

Would you recommend the novel?

I think that given the obvious parallels between this and Episode 4, Kylo is going to play a similar role to Vader (although his internal conflict is a lot more obvious, Vader didn't really show his doubts until Episode 6)

I wouldn't even say "no empathy" more that he doesn't understand how to properly react to certain situations (evidenced by the card), maybe growing up as force sensitive and being a padawan means he never socialized properly.

On another note, never in a million years did I think I would be examining a SNL skit in such context.

Of course it's not canon, unless hallmark cards and muffins exist in the star wars universe. But since it's the actual actor playing the role we can assume that it's still the same (albeit simplified) character and can still examine it.

muci19 · 89 points · Posted at 15:59:22 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

I've seen only a few episodes. They had the same formula:

Look at big boss and his millions or billions. Put him in with the low wage workers. Look at the way boss is humbled by seeing how difficult their jobs and lives are. Boss "connects" with a low paid worker and "generously" give him or her a few thousand dollars. A group of employs tearfully applaud. Roll credits.

They always coincidentally find the hard working employee that despite an extremely rough life are able to go above and beyond work.

There was a thread once with someone who was on the show. The producers come in and interview everyone before hand to select which ever location has the best workers for the undercover boss.

The only one I've seen that seemed legit, as in it scared the boss, was the hooters one.

on the cinnabon episode, they gave this one exceptional manager who was trying to save money to open a franchise, a free franchise. naturally it benefited them to have such a good owner, but still the costs to open were between 200k and 300k, which they gifted the guy. and i mean.... fucking cinnabon. do they really need publicity or to give us any more incentives to go there and consume delicious cinnamon rolls covered in hot cum?

editing as i remember: there was a video pretty high in /r/videos recently i believe of an owner of.. i want to say modells.. meeting a girl who was a great employee, only to find out she had been homeless with a kid or three for a long time. at the end of the episode that motherfucker broke down in extremely sincere tears and gave her money for a house, and a promotion, and a financial adviser to help her with the money. he was basically like 'i dont want you to even spend tonight in the shelter, get out now we are making this happen because i can't stand the thought of it'

I actually like the character in the same way I liked Commodus as portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix. They are both flawed and unlikable characters and Driver and Phoenix make me feel that. Darth Vader was a total bad ass and fairly predictable. Kylo is scary because he is like the kid you worry about bringing a gun to school, only the kid can shoot like a trained SPEC OPS soldier.

I got the impression that the character grows on you. His flaws, the instability and irritability, are both irritating and scarily normal (for some people). I guess I'll need to rewatch the movie a couple of times, for researching purposes. Of course we can only conclude our evaluation once we've watched all the movies.

[deleted] · 2 points · Posted at 15:39:58 on January 18, 2016 · (Permalink)

It's the small things. Voice inflections, portraying the conflicted emotions, flashes of great power yet utter failure. I actually loved the dichotomy of power and fear the mask and sabre gave versus the youth and inexperience Driver projected when he took off the mask. I've heard so many people say they wanted him to be badder or tougher. Making that character is easy and less memorable or, in Star Wars, downright cliche. This is my second favorite SW movie behind ESB and Kylo is a very compelling character. I was fully prepared to be underwhelmed, but was instead very happy and can't wait for the next film.

My daughters were scared of Kylo, like I was of Vader as a kid. But they saw the original trilogy and are more scared of Kylo than Vader. My youngest asks me to pretend to be him and is totally freaked out if I pretend to punch my side like Driver did after getting shot by the bow caster while fighting Rey. The fact that I felt uneasy, or that I felt some emotional response, tells me Driver did a very good job and Abrams got the actors to give nuanced and complex performances.

In short, I think that you're right. Over time, I think people will recognize how good the performance is. Actually, most of the actors came off brilliantly. Just so I don't sound like a fanboy, Carrie Fisher was weak. Mark Hamill said more in 15 seconds with no dialogue than she did in the entire movie.

Still not entirely sure after some digging, but this should help some. There are some comparisons of the cleanup between the original 35mm and the negative1 cleanup, and the negative1 cleanup and the Blu-Ray re-release. The Blu-Ray has the best quality since it was created from the original negative, but the cleaned up 35mm is still pretty good quality and retains the original parts of the movie.

As much as I appreciate the value of the unaltered version, and as much as I dislike how off the rails he got with excessive remasters, the very first remaster he did with new effects I really appreciate.

I really like the story of Star Wars, and seeing the characters on merch in every store takes me out of the story.

Kylo Ren did some bad, bad things, as did Darth Vader. Seeing them on candy and detergent packaging sort of weakens their potency as bad guys.

I dunno, I happened across the toy aisle in a local store the other day and I was blown away at all the awesome shit you could buy. 30 year old man but I very nearly left the store with about a hundred bucks worth of Star Wars lego haha

As it's Adam Driver who's probably on all kinds of contracts, he may indeed need to call mothership Disney before such stunts. I would think if they overdo such skits it ruins immersion before the next movie, but a couple may be alright. But you don't wanna think of Radar Technician next time you see Kylo...

And another equally valid source is saying that the journalist was holding his phone up so he could get a picture/video of her at the same time he was asking his question.

So no it's not a clear cut case about what happened, and people are shitting on Lawrence without actually knowing what happened.

misogichan · -11 points · Posted at 09:53:11 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)*

They're also doing it while the movie is still in theatres and a lawyer could argue it spoils the movie and could potentially affect marketability. The fair use clause may or may not apply depending upon the "effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work." That said I think this should have a positive affect on the box office, so I suspect this would be an irrelevant line of argument. That said NBC would probably not risk showing it and getting into an expensive court battle unless they had permission.

It also talks about the first order, their goals, the Starkiller Base that wasn't mentioned or seen in the trailers (except for some fighting where it wasn't clear they were on the base), and is obviously a new death star from it's name and thus spoils (although admittedly people should have expected it) the antagonists scheme.

Lucas Arts has a pretty open policy when it comes to parody. I think Disney is smart enough to know that the open policy has always been a strong point of the Star Wars franchise.

I wouldn't expect Robot Chicken or Family Guy full episodes though like before, but who knows.

With all those legit stormtrooper costumes in there, you really think SNL would be able to afford to have those made? Looks like Disney lent them out in the first place.

Don't mean to knock on you personally, but is this really what passes for funny on SNL now? His delivery (like the movies) was awful. I know people are saying "It's just like his character" but fuck it, he hammed that up too and you all know it.

I wounder how many contestant on the real undercover boss know or at least strongly suspects whats going on.
Not in the first seasons obviously, but as more and more seasons have been made more and more people have watched the program, so there has to be a good portion of people who knew what was going on and just played along.

On other note, that show would have been so much better had they skipped all the stupid sentimental stuff in each episode, its the main reason I was unable to keep watching it. It was so forced and formulaic, and I cringed everything they started playing that sad music in the background.

Generally in large companies employees doesn't know who their bosses are anyways. If it's a very prominant CEO they usually send one of the other managers.

"Hi I'm doing some scouting for a show called... Uhh. 'fundercover foss'. Can you tell us about your daily life?"

"Well I wake up in my tent because I'm too poor to afford a house, thinking about how both parents died in a freak bear accident at the zoo while I watched as a child. Then I brush my teeth with groundwater a pray I don't get cholera. I go to work listening to tapes of my wife and daughter who both also died in an accident before my eyes. At work I barely make it through the day on coffee because the sound of my crying child haunts my dreams. I then go back to my tent to cry myself to sleep, waiting for the nightmares.

Is that a sad enough backstory for the CEO guy to give me a couple grand?"

I would slightly alter how you were orphaned. Maybe instead of both parents being killed by a bear you could say your dad was killed in fighting in Iraq, so to make you feel better your mom brought you to the zoo where she was killed by a bear.

The part that gets me are the ones who even if they somehow don't realize it's undercover boss, will screw up royally on a TV SHOW. I mean, even if it's not undercover boss, perhaps you might realize that when anyone is filming your job you might just want to give it your best while the cameras are rolling.

Have you ever seen an episode of Undercover Boss? It is painfully acted out and scripted that it's cringeworthy

anoninator · -1 points · Posted at 12:53:56 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

They start the episode with some dumb cover story that they're on a new show and competing for some job.

On the other hand, I think probably 99% of common people have a sad life story of some sort. Between parents, siblings, children, etc there's usually someone who's got a tough time that we support or want to support. Clearly most employee's aren't wealthy so financial challenges are easy to find and discuss.

Overall it's an easy formula but you get to see some real bosses in awkward and/or uncomfortable spots and most of them really seem to get a new perspective as well, even if they thought they had one before. You can see which ones are better actors than others.

talontario · 1 points · Posted at 17:47:52 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

Well, my impression is that Americans are getting used to reality tv being about anything. So if a camera crew comes in you're not necessarily going to know it's undercover boss. I've only seen parts of the first few seasons, and I imagine it might be trickier to fool people now.

I watched one episode and found it compelling. I watched a second one and noticed it was exactly like the first. I watched one more, but that was it.

I cannot understand why anyone would continue watching that crap. And in a larger sense, if they can tell the exact same story over and over and over again with entirely different sets of people, it should make viewers question all of reality tv.

maxpenny42 · 2 points · Posted at 16:10:20 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

I don't care that it is formulaic. Lots of good shows are. I don't like that undercover boss is an insincere publicity stunt.

If the episode ended with new policies or a shifting culture that would be great. Or if the ceo learned about fundamental problems with his employees lives and made efforts to improve them.

But no. Instead a handful of employees he or she happened to work with directly get their sob stories rewarded with a prize and the mean and bad employees get fired or a talking to. Nothing systemic changes. At least not in the ones I've seen.

sogwennn · 1 points · Posted at 16:07:21 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

It's nice to have on in the background. You don't have to pay attention, just pop in to see the boss fuck up, realize it's harder than expected, zone out and pop back in for the handouts. It's background noise, really.

I actually have qualification for this, my job was in the season premiere of this season, I would've been a part of it but had a concert the day they filmed. They interview everyone and tell them it's a competitive reality show and that thet don't know what the show will be. Everybody kept saying to was Undercover Boss. My friend who they picked was always the one that was going to win, after the interviews it seems they pick the best sob stories and go for that, hers was school and car. She won money for school and a car. They film it out of order and actually use footage that had nothing to do what they were talking about but most of it is true, well whatever the employees are talking about. Mine was about management and how shitty it is. The employees always have a hunch that it is but never truely know til the end seeing is they base it as TWO employees are competing for the job, the CEO being one of them.

I know some people aren't going to believe me, but I'm pretty sure the show is real. At least in early seasons. They did an episode on Moe's, and one of the restaurants they chose was in my town Mount Pleasant, SC (across the bridge from Charleston). If you talk to the now promoted manager who works there, she'll tell you nothing was scripted and she even told me what the cameras were pitched as, but I can't remember. I think it was as some kind of training exercise.

Does having a few decent sketches an episode mean it's good overall though? I feel like at best that would make it decent. That doesn't mean talented people don't come out of it still or that it is to blame for not being as good anymore, just that it's had some legendary figures and it's hard to keep up quality for as long as it has.

I don't get the notion that Ren is anymore a whiner then Anakin was. Odd in the EU books the Sith were badass and not whiners what so ever. I guess since Plagueis created Anakin (non canon now, blah blah) from the Midi-chlorians there was a by product of being an emotional basket case passed down through the family line.

You mean Baby Hitler?

The guy who gave the speech about how they are motivated to fight the "arbitrary" nature of the Republic, and to that end, arbitrarily blows up five planets with his infinite source of funds, ships, bad guys and materiel?

Yes, that part is poorly written as well.

You know the writers wanted him to be a Grand Moff Tarkin or an Admiral Veers, but they failed horribly, and his over-the-top acting combined with the disgustingly obvious Hitler references were actually laughable. I laughed out loud.

I'm actually surprised they got Adam Driver for it at all; thought for sure they'd have gotten one of their actors to do it (would have been a great excuse to bring back Andy Samberg if they had to).

This skit exposes what a terrible actor Adam Driver is, what a dry and two dimensional character Kylo Ren is, and just what a bad idea The Force Awakens was. As time passes, the critics will change their tune and talk about how bad of a movie this was.

AkemiDawn · 3 points · Posted at 13:31:40 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

It's too early to tell if Kylo is mostly McGuffin or not. There's a fan theory floating around that he's actually a double agent and that he has chosen to embrace the dark side in order to become powerful enough to overcome Snook and destroy the first order. That's why there is such a huge struggle in him between the dark and the light and why he's such an emotional basket case. And the big bad thing he did in TFA was something he had to do to finally overcome the light side of himself.

I'm not convinced by this theory but it's interesting to think about. And I'm willing to reserve judgment on some of the seeming plot holes in TFA until I see the rest of the films. After all, Snape never really made any fucking sense until the last Harry Potter book.

thisonetimeonreddit · 1 points · Posted at 13:40:25 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

But, to use your analogy, each Harry Potter book stood up on its own. I find this Star Wars to be absolutely inconsistent with the rest of the established canon. I don't think I'm going to stick around to find out; franchise fatigue.

Exploding_Bacon152 · 2 points · Posted at 11:11:36 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

His character development I thought was quite good in one simple scene. He's being torn apart between the light and the dark, because he's still inexperienced and he decides by murdering his father with no remorse, no mercy, staring blankly into his eyes. Motivation, his grandfather was once arguably one of the rulers of the Galaxy, he believes he deserves the right to that "throne" now

Edit: Plus you gotta remember this is 1 Star Wars film, think of how much character development Darth Vader had in episode 4 compared to this, it's roughly the same if not more for Kylo Ren

[deleted] · 2 points · Posted at 11:04:40 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

Drivative concept- The whole story is about the Skywalker family. Yes, the spin off stuff has other primary characters, but the Skywalker bloodline is the focus of the main series.

Character development? Motivation?- You answered the motivation part on the first part "Wants to be like this former Sith that failed". Its the first in a trilogy, we're not going to learn everything about the character and why he does what he does. Watching episode 4 alone, without the aid of the other movies, we don't know Vader's motivations, he's simply an enforcer. As far as character development, he is shown to be conflicted about being evil, killing his father pushes him into that.

He's a McGuffin- This is the most ridiculous thing I've read about this movie. His motivation is finding himself and what he truly want's to be, you know, the same thing Luke had going on in 4. He's also trying trying to find his uncle to, presumably, kill him. If you compare this to Vader in 4, Vaders only motivation were getting the death star plans. In 7 Kylos starting motivation is finding the map.

All of these negative things you say about Kylo can also be said about Vader or any other villain at the start of a trilogy. We'll get more of his character in the next few, maybe even his own "I'm your father" level incident.

thisonetimeonreddit · -1 points · Posted at 11:07:47 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

Right. The "map". To x,y,z coordinates. Because you cannot arrive at a point in space without traveling through a route, despite space being three dimensions. /s

Forget that the empire uses probes to find the Hoth base, forget that Maul finds the jedi without probes or even any indication where they went, forget that Han and Chewie find a ship floating in space - we need a "map" to find luke, even though 95% of the galaxy is eliminated by the part of the map they do have.

Bad plot is bad. I would have to disagree with you about the characterization as well, I found nothing enticing or curious about him.

Sorry you find my analysis ridiculous, but I respect your right to your opinions, though I do not agree.

[deleted] · 1 points · Posted at 11:12:14 on January 17, 2016 · (Permalink)

I'm not saying the Map was a good plot device at all, Just that when you compare character motivation between Kylo and Vader, Kylo's is more fleshed out. There's nothing "enticing or curious" about Vader in 4.

But that is a character, he's an angry teenager. It might not be a character you like, but he's still a character, he has character qualities. It's not a "so what is he" "well he's the bad guy". Look at the Character test Red Letter media did with episode one. Kylo doesn't fall into that area.

Teenager isn't a character quality, it's a physical trait.

He's angry (why?) Cause jedi school is hard!

I'm so glad you're familiar with the Princess Amidalon character test from RLM!

Kylo Ren is a hairpiece, a mask, a cape and a teenager.
