I think Finn and Kylo were originally designed to be the same character. Like, Finn was Han and Leia's son who eventually goes dark after being manipulated by the Jedi Killer who was a random villain. Then they decided to merge the two characters and made Kylo the son AND the Jedi Killer. They turned Finn into a brand new character. Snoke was then added as the big bad manipulative dark side overlord.
Hey Nonnie,
Definitely plausible/probable. I think that whole “son goes to the dark side” thing was a consistent aspect of the story throughout. I’d love for them to release a production journal for these movies. Labyrinth (HAHAHAH, OF COURSE, I AM A LABYRINTH FAN) just released a gorgeous book with a whole tonne of extras (Brian Froud’s costume designs OH MY LANTA), and I’d love to see the same for SW. But that took like 30 years to be released LOL. Hopefully, I don’t have to wait that long for anything ST related.
Here’s hoping that Rian’s documentary-type series ends up happening because I’d love to know more about the process that goes into these films.
Cheers, Nonnie!
