* A few hints dropped in ''Entertainment Weekly'''s interview with Creator/JJAbrams are actually starting to make it look like this is a real possibility. According to Abrams, “The movie explains the origins of the mask and where it’s from...", and also “[Ren] is well aware of what’s come before, and that’s very much a part of the story of the film.” So apparently there ''is'' some significance to the mask's design and origins, and the movie will devote some time to talking about the Sith Lords that preceded Ren.

*** Old habits die hard. [[Film/{{Transformers}} Remember when a certain director swears he won't be making another blockbuster movie in 3D for a franchise after completing one, only to be do that very same thing a few months later?]] Considering that Abrams loves the Mystery Box, he could easily slip back to his old habits such as outright lying.

** When asked about shaving her head for ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' (a film also produced by Disney), actress Creator/KarenGillan (a redhead) noted that her long hair was to be turned into a wig that was '''specifically given to the ''Star Wars'' creative team'''. Curious, considering Mara's hair is red and fairly long.

Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: Snoke is a (modified) Anakin clone.]]
After being physically and mentally scarred after the events of Film/RevengeOfTheSith Palpatine was deprived of a "perfect apprentice" and it would be at least 20 years before he learns about Luke; before then he wouldn't have a viable replacement for Darth Vader. Since he has access to both his own and Anakin's DNA, the Emperor decided to try and make a new Anakin. The multiple Snokes in a tank? Well who says there's too much of a good thing? However cloning force sensitivity difficult as it is. Instead of a full clone a strandcast with Anakin's template as a baseline was made, with other DNA like his own added to the mix; Snoke looks close but not exactly like a human because he's a ''mutant'' human. However the unnatural attempts to recreate the Chosen One caused physical defects, hence why the Snokes in a tank also have deformities; they're also unnatural and unstable. Since Snoke was still powerful in the Force Palpatine kept him and his template around until he could find something better.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


In the original trilogy, [[Main/TheEmpire The Empire]] was meant to represent the Nazis, with Palpatine as Hitler. The First Order represents the Neo-Nazis, as they are both movements dedicated to the restoration of the principles of the old empires, and believe that it's their job to finish what their predecessors started. Hence the [[Main/UpToEleven Up to Eleven]] Nazi symbolism.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


Technology has gotten advanced enough to allow for this and the Force Ghost filter will make the CGI Alec Guinness look unreal enough to avert UncannyValley. Ewan [=McGregor=] returns to voice him since he was Obi-Wan in the Prequel Trilogy.
