hey youtubers its charlie happy holidays hopefully you guys have had a chance to
see Star Wars The Force awakens this is going to be like a top 10 question
video just some of the biggest questions from the movie so careful for spoilers
if you haven't seen it yet we will be talking about things that happen in the
movie I feel like we can all agree that there are a thousand questions that we
have coming out of the movie really more questions than answers because there's
so much that the movie doesn't explain so I could probably do like 10 of these
videos but I just I wanted to pick the biggest ones that I saw all you guys
commenting on on my non-spoilery review so here we go and actually the the
giveaway is continuing I'm giving away two imax gift certificates a lot of you
guys requested that I wait till like after the weekend to name the winner I'm
totally fine doing that so they give away we'll just stay open all weekend
first big question this is kind of in chronological order kind of not but
starting with Max von Sydow who is lor San Tekka
that's the character he was playing he had the missing part of the map to find
Luke Skywalker kylo Ren seemed like he'd known him for a long time so I'm
guessing he worked with Luke Skywalker at the Jedi Academy and that's how he
knew where to find Luke Skywalker or he was associated with the Academy somehow
the speed with which he was taken down by kylo Ren makes me think he wasn't a
Jedi but he could have been question number two what caused Finn's character
to break his conditioning so in order to answer this question we have to explain
what's going on with the stormtroopers the first order takes them from their
homes as children then brainwashes them as they become stormtroopers so they
just they feed them whatever information they want they tell them Luke
Skywalker's evil the New Republic is evil the resistance is evil so they're
basically like a bunch of zombies walking around they even make the dig
about the clones like maybe we should be using a clone army maybe they big bettor
general Hux is like no no my conditioning is perfect what causes
Finn's character to break that conditioning it seems like he's not
force sensitive it seemed like you know what they were telling us in the movie
is that he's not going to become a Jedi so my thought is is that there's no
logical explanation he broke his conditioning because JJ Abrams needed
him to because the story needed him to the story makes a couple leaps and logic
that just do not make sense the characters are amazing there are some
holes in the story so I think Ben breaking his conditioning is just like a
gaping hole in the story question number three this is a big one how powerful is
kylo Ren if he's not as powerful as Darth Vader but he can stop blaster
bolts and hold them in midair without really giving it a second thought well
he just walks around even really trained Jedi have to work really hard to hold
things in the air so written have to be pretty powerful to be that quick you
know to catch the charged plasmas it's coming out of the barrel and then just
hold it there like it's no big deal while he walks around talking to people
but then side tangent how powerful is array if she's able to defeat him in
single combat if she's never touched a lightsaber before and never tried to use
her powers my thought is another gaping hole in the story like the theme things
that JJ Abrams never intended to explain like he just wants to see kylo Ren doing
cool things like he wants that cool scene but it doesn't necessarily need to
make sense so I think it would only cause more problems if they try to
quantify kylo ren's power I think he's going to be as powerful as he needs to
be to have good fights with Daisy Ridley's character the way they're
positioning them I just think that Ren and Rey are going to be equally powerful I
think that's kind of the idea question number five if kylo Ren's real name is
Ben solo and he's Han and Leia's son what is his connection to Rey if he kind
of knew about her at the beginning of the movie when he found out about the
bb-8 droid this is going to be one of those things that people debate for a long
time like who has raised character who she related to because she's clearly
related to some of the characters and if you think back when the officer was
telling kylo Ren the Droid got away with the FN stormtrooper there was a girl
with them the minute he said girl he was like wait what did you say there was a
girl with them and he you know Yanks him across that to me is just like one in a
series of clues that Rey is his sister and JJ Abrams Brian II think like a lot
of people are complaining that the film is a remake of a new hope just think
about the Luke and Leia relationship across the first trilogy and think about
what would have happened if Luke had gone to the dark side and Leia had had
to redeem him that that's why I think that Ray is kylo Ren's sister but that
doesn't answer the question of why Han Solo like if Rey is Han Solo and Leia's
daughter why didn't either one of them acknowledge it verbally like why didn't
say oh my god you're our daughter welcome back that could be Mindwipe it
could be another gaping hole in the story like because they don't want to
reveal it up front I know a lot of people want to believe that she might be
Luke's daughter but I feel like the look that she got from Luke at the end of the
film wasn't the look you would get from a father seeing his daughter for the
first time and I like many many years the look on his face was more worried at
the sight of Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber and what that meant I'm not a
geneticist or anything like that but there is like a probability aspect to
having twins like if you're a twin you're much more likely to have twins
when you have babies we can debate till the end of time but on to the next
question why is kylo Ren so conflicted if he's
supposed to be evil he's been training with Supreme Leader Snoke why does he
keep beating his head against Darth Vader's melted helmet they've kind of
answered some of the questions through a lot of the press junkets and stuff you
know them talking about the character kylo Ren is just a character who hasn't
completely gone to the dark side like he's he's still kind of teetering back
and forth Snoke is trying to turn him for his own purposes but there's still
the pull of the light side the chance of redemption which like I said is where I
feel like Rey's character is going to end up like she's going to try and
redeem him like Luke redeemed Vader there was still a little bit of good in
Vader but the difference between kylo Ren and Vader is that Vader had been
working with the Emperor for a lot longer than kylo Ren had and as we see
in the movie kylo Ren knows that his parents are still alive which is why he
you know he murders Han Solo because he feels like getting rid of them will get
rid of the pull of the light side kylo Ren right now to me is kind of like Luke
during Empire Strikes Back where he leaves his training with Yoda early to
face Vader is like kylo Ren isn't fully trained yet that's why Snoke at the end
of the movie is like general Hux bring kylo Ren to me it's time to complete his
training on the number eight though what's going to happen to Finn now that Rey
is with Luke Skywalker with r2d2 and Chewbacca Finn kind of got put in
carbonite so to speak so I mean he's definitely coming back he's still alive
but my thought is just based on his character traits he reads like the new
Han Solo the person who's really brash just rushes in to help people without
completely thinking things through winds up having to be saved more often than he
saves people but has a really good heart side tangent to Poe Dameron though his
character to me is kind of like Luke Skywalker the pilot League just the
pilot aspects of Luke Skywalker best pilot in the galaxy always happy to help
his friends just doesn't have the force-sensitive arc that Luke had in the
original trilogy so Finn and Poe Dameron are probably just going to be running
side missions trying to take down the first order because finn has unique
knowledge of the first orders workings question number nine
another really big one what happened to kylo Ren in the past what happened to
Ben solo that Snoke was able to turn him to the dark side and convinced him to
kill the other Jedi at the academy we actually get a picture of the Knights
of Ren because Rey has like this flash into the force she has this force vision
of the Knights standing around Ren as it looks like she's seeing into the past
when he killed a bunch of the other Jedi so it seems like what they're saying is
as Snoke found Ben taught him about his heritage like he learned about Anakin
Skywalker and Darth Vader and was seduced into thinking that he could make
things better using the dark side and that the Jedi were somehow evil in
trying to stop him from doing that because whatever Snoke told him he would
have had to convince him that the Jedi were evil that'd be the only reason to
have to kill the other Jedi really it's one of those stories that I expect that
they'll tell a little bit more in episode 8 in episode 9 they'll also
expand on with the written material like the the novels in question number 10 of
course all about Supreme Leader Snoke who the hell is he WTF in is he really
big like we saw him in the hologram or his he tiny like Yoda and Maz Kanata
neither one of those things where I feel like they're going to tell the story of
where he came from in a novel they're not they're not going to completely spell
it out in any of the movies but I do think that the hologram was kind of a
misdirect I don't think he's ginormous like that hologram made him seem but I'm
just going to cross my fingers and I'm going to hope that he's going to be really
really small would that be I mean they'll be kind of funny if they made
the hologram really big it'd be too on-the-nose so I'm going to lay odds on him
being smaller like Yoda and Maz Kanata just just because that seems to be the
thing in the Star Wars universe where it's like the smaller you are the more
frail you are the more powerful you are but hopefully the answer is at least a
few the biggest questions about the movie there's still going to be tons
more and I'm probably going to do an Easter egg video in a couple days after I see
the movie a couple more times so everybody have an awesome time going to
see the movie again hopefully you've seen it at least once by now I'm
definitely going to see it at least two or three times this weekend mostly for
Easter Egg purposes but it is a really fun movie even though there are a couple
plot holes it totally does not ruin the movie just
