The question asked that got JJ to do TFA is ‘Who is Luke Skywalker?’ and I think what we’re looking at with Kylo is ‘Who Luke Skywalker could of been’. What if Luke had joined the dark side? Then Leia would have really been the last hope. We never got to see that explored so what they’re doing is recreating that scenario with Leia’s children... It’s not that widely known but George Lucas originally wanted ROTJ to end with Luke taking up the mantle of Darth Vader and then Episodes VII, VIII and IX would be about his sister’s quest to redeem him. That’s why the‘there is another’ bomb that was dropped never made a whole lot of sense, because there was a plan but it was scrapped. (x)
