The Last Jedi Adam Driver as Kylo Ren (VIII)

I always looked at it as, for everyone on the Falcon, it was a couple of days, but because of the way time works on Dagaboh months passed by for Luke and Yoda.

If Disney were to actually ret-con and say that was indeed true, I wouldn't complain. I'd buy that reasoning.
 
If I remember correctly, time actually does pass differently on different planets thanks to distance and gravity acting wonky on a macro scale.
 
^ In reality, yeah, time dilation's a thing. But there's been no indication of that in SW just yet. That could actually be one of those things that breaks the universe if introduced, unless they make it unique to Dagobah due to The Force. But even then, I'm 100% sure it's better just to leave it as is.
 
Don't try to introduce the relativity of time to the GFFA. It will just over complicate things and break most viewer's minds. Even star trek doesn't bother with that crap.

With the old movies, it felt like things were happening in real time. So Luke's training probably was as long as the Falcon's traveling to Cloud City. It's like no different from traveling from California to Rhode Island, haha.

And if time is perceived as being slower on Dagaboh, with longer days, no wonder Yoda went insane.

They also show Driver preparing for a stunt involving two warriors. I wonder if this is him training other Knights of Ren or something more bombastic.

It's a thing, but not in the sense that time passes differently in different places.

In the "twin paradox," for example, one twin stays on earth, while the other leaves on a rocket ship traveling at very high speeds, then returns to earth. The twin on earth will have aged more.

But that has to do with the traveling twin undergoing changes in velocity that the twin on earth did not experience.

In space opera, with the characters moving around to different locations in space, and using faster-than-light travel, it would be impossible to try to deal with that coherently.

Using hyper space to travel around is a fantasy element, nobody really knows how that would affect things, and every time somebody left a world to go someplace else, you would have to try to figure out what the characters' relative velocity had been during their respective journeys when they met up again later.

It would be a complete mess, really.

I love what they did with the cockpit and body design, it feels very fresh and new, it evokes the classic Tie Fighter while being it's own thing. I really with they had come up with something different for the wings though, they just sort of look copied and pasted from a Tie Interceptor.
 
That's a lovely capture of him which shows that his light-saber fighting style is going to be different to most of the other guys we've seen so far.
It is almost like we have seen him fight with a lightsaber before. :o
 
Yes this time it will be teen on teen and hopefully in IX we finally get ....late stage teen vs late stage teen. :yay:
Kylo is like 30. He has been training in lightsaber combat and the ways of the Force at least since he was a young teen. He was one saber through his father away from being able to complete his training with Snoke. He already knows what he is doing, though that does not mean he can't get better. Still, he was plenty skilled in TFA.
 
I did like his moves and look in the mask...and that is saying something judging him as the challenger to Vader after the prequels' lame attempts at (baddie) characters that could live up to him. That Han scene will be the trigger for him to turn into something much more in this and the next film, and with Rey being taught by THE true Grand Master he is going to have a serious challenge on his hands. Their duels in the next 2 films need to be iconic enough to go down in SW history and be remembered for decades.
