Star Wars VII News-What's the Latest ?

I am an avid, rabid fan of Star Wrs. So I am trying to keep up to date on the news on the movie. This thread is dedicates to that.

What do you think of the Knights of Ren ? Do you think .Luke has gotten so powerful in the Force, that he has became a hermit ? BTW, The Empire is called The First Order and the Alliance is called the Resistance now.

As a Jedi eventually he must become a hermit, but I think there are IX (9) original episodes (if I have heard right). We are on VII (7) and many years ago I heard that Luke Skywalker founds a school of Jedi, so at the very least they must show him founding a school with his sister. I think he will have the Emperor for an enemy, and he and the Emperor will square off trying to grab up all the potential Jedi apprentices. That means there is probably going to be a sort of "Noah's Ark" episode where they are training all kinds of critters in the ways of the Force, and the Emperor will either be converting potential Jedi or killing a lot of them. Probably in this episode we will be introduced to the Emperor's plot to live as an immortal and reign forever, but the Skywalker will not yet become a hermit.

So the Emperor still lives, what, did he transfer his immortal soul-essence to another body? Now that would be cool. Or does he still possess his former and now even more mangled old visage?

This is in some official comics, but I'm not well read. Yes, the emperor's original plan is to take over Darth Vader's body, but since Vader dies he grows clones, instead. He stores them in tanks or something, so that when he dies he can possess one of them.

I think I do remember reading about this somewhere, that the emperor or Darth Sidious' immortal mind or soul essence possesses the body of another in order to continue carrying out his nefarious Sith plans for domination of the galaxy. Very interesting, and also makes for a good plot.

It looks as if the new Sith villain Kylo Ren in Star Wars VII appropriately may have been an apprentice of Darth Vader. Awesome and makes sense, why wouldn't Darth Vader have had an apprentice? And perhaps the quest of Kylo Ren is to carry on the tradition of his fallen master Lord Vader, to seek out and destroy all the Jedi where ever they may be found throughout the galaxy.
