Do you mean like, to the Force? Nothing will really happen, but if the Force feels the universe is unbalanced (like if Kylo stays too dark without any counterweight) then it might try to course correct again.
I don’t think it’s likely that one of them dies, though. Kylo and Rey are going to live their best lives being the balanced couple that they are, once he saves himself and she reads the Jedi texts.
Hux loathes Kylo Ren, and takes pleasure in Kylo’s failures.
The fact that Kylo had to be rescued from Starkiller Base after being bested by a lightsaber novice delights the young general.
Hux is responsible for the deaths of billions, having given the order to fire the Starkiller at the heavily populated Hosnian system.
A man of no scruples who craves power above all, Hux has despatched many enemies or would-be foes before they became too dangerous a threat – including his own father.
Hux coveted the Supremacy.
He desires the title of “grand marshal”.
He has a delicate ego – didn’t like Poe calling him “General Hugs”.
He has a Captain in his command who carries out his dirty work – from assassination to sabotage – in order to ensure that no enemy – whether First Order to otherwise – can get the better of him.
He hides a monomolecular-blade dagger in his sleeve.
I think Kylo best watch his back.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Hux goes searching for a Force user to kill Kylo Ren in an effort to rise to Supreme Leader. He’s not gonna endure getting thrown around by Kylo Ren. The rivalry between them was too strong.
To those who said Hux is just for laughs, please see above.
To those who think Hux is weak and won’t be able to kill/plot against Kylo/Ben because he doesn’t have control over the Force – recall Order 66? All those clones didn’t have any ounce of Force power yet they killed 99% of the Jedi. The element of surprise + sheer numbers (I bet Hux has control over the FO officers and troopers) can overpower even the most skilled Force user.
Personally, it will be interesting to see a big bad who cannot use the Force. Just like the Rey heroes-can-come-from-anywhere storyline, Hux can be the villans-can-come-from-anywhere one.
I would say it would be a nice twist too. We always expect the big bad to be a Force user, that’s a good point, but Snoke has been building this rivalry since the start. That look Hux gave Kylo at the end of The Last Jedi was pretty menacing. He wants Kylo’s power. He was ready to kill him when he saw Kylo unconscious. He’s definitely dangerous.
All of this is correct, Force users aren’t infallible against an entire army. I’m definitely on the coup side of the argument – one that will happen VERY fast after TLJ. I suspect we open Ep 9 with a very different landscape in terms of power chess pieces.
Okay but at any point was Hux like “What the fUCK was The Girl™ doing here anyway?!”
hux knows something is up, he’s a snake and will bide his time. he knows he can’t take kylo out one on one, but kylo can’t hold onto the power with the entire trooper army against him
that or hux is gonna shank him at the first opportunity with that hidden knife he has in his sleeve
he’s not an idiot, as much as we wish he was. he knows what happened – it would shock me if those little glass things didn’t go both ways and record the events.
Kylo: I’m in the role I’m meant to be. Ruling The First Order is my destiny and saving the galaxy in this fashion is in no way, shape, or form totally gonna wreck me (again). I’m just gonna ignore the earth shaking and eye opening revelations I obtained through my Force Bond !
Rey: I’m in the role I’m meant to be. Being the Resistance’s New Luke Skywalker (trademark) is my destiny even if I’m not of a legacy ! This is my way of saving the galaxy ! I’m going to ignore my eye opening revelations that I obtained by the Force Bond and also repress all the sympathetic feelings for my enemy and parallels I recognize in Kylo.
Resistance & First Order: you both know theres a highly probable chance we’ll use you or and turn on you, right ?
Force Bond: you know this thing doesn’t have an on/off switch, right ?
We know JJ liked the Knights of Ren (obviously, he created them), but I just don’t know if he’d pull them back in for the 3rd movie.
I’ve always headcanon’d (as most of the fandom) that the KoR were the fallen Jedi apprentices – TLJ seems to support that, as Luke mentions that Ben left ‘with a handful of students’. And we know that essentially they did errands for Kylo/Snoke – across the galaxy, gathering Jedi relics, maybe killing force users, etc. to eradicate them.
However we haven’t seen them outside of the forceback shot of Rey’s in TFA, there were maybe 5-6 of them and they didn’t really have lightsabers, they had all sorts of odd weapons.
It’s possible that the Praetorian Guards ended up being the KoR/Jedi students, who knows.
What I do know is that it is unlikely we see them in the film – I sense that we might get some explanation and backstory in a novel or comics perhaps – maybe even a TV show.
I think it’s far more likely that we’ll see a FO army that Kylo is struggling to maintain control of, and Hux possibly being a little rogue with them – striking places without permission, etc. which leads into a big conflict in the end.
So I don’t think it’s likely that we see KOR in the movies, or Rey joining them. I think it’s pretty clear that Rey is going to move the Jedi forward – but take them back to their roots. Which, as pointed out, are far more rooted in balance than we’ve seen them previously.
I honestly can’t wait for Hux, Poe & Finn to find out about Reylo, and the fact that their worst and most dangerous enemy actually has feelings, and is in love with a girl.
I live for this kind of angst and I really am thinking that she won’t tell them about any of it. She didn’t even tell Luke.
Same! I don’t think they will though, because they already showed that Kylo was unwilling to kill his mother.
They did say they have enough footage to work with to have it ‘make sense’ so I think…they’ll probably have her off help rebuild the rebellion somewhere.
And if they decide to kill her, I 320000000% bet you that Hux will be responsible. He’ll have orchestrated an attack knowing Leia is there, without Kylo’s permission. And Kylo loses his shit and possibly leaves in some way.
I hope they show that the bond has strengthened and can be done more or less on command in Ep 9.
But, I think…I’d like to see the first scene be with them in battle separately. I want it to be inconvenient for both of them – and if they’re fighting in separate battles/areas, that would do it.
