The cape added dramatic effect in the original so it sort of made sense. I don't really remember but aren't there some slo-mo shots of Vader with his cape flapping in the breeze? Yeah it was superfluous but it made for a good visual.

Was he just an elf/ranger wannabe? Is the dark Lord of the sith chilly? Death star a bit drafty? Why didn't he just turn up the heat? It boggles the mind! Why didn't ANH explain this? Oh the plot holes!
And wtf, why did Vader have a belt? It's a custom suit, did he lose weight?! Wtf is going oooooonnnnn???!

lol
It's almost like Disney ripped off the Road Runner scripts
Or maybe Rylo didn't know any better seeing how his training isn't complete.

Good god that laugh from that guy is extremely annoying, I had to turn it off.
I hadn't considered the relationship between Chewbacca & Kylo before:

Once Kashyyyk was freed from the Imperials, Chewbacca returned to his homeworld and reestablished connections with his family. Nevertheless, when Han Solo resumed his smuggling activities, Chewbacca decided to join him. Fortunately, the strong familial bonds and the extended lifespan of the Wookiees allowed him to spend decades away from his people
Preordering blu ray's/dvd's is a thing now? :\

No. I'm criticizing that part of the writing. I'm saying that they are stupid reasons that only make sense for the motivations of children in cartoons. Don't expect the viewer to buy that when your character is A GROWN MAN.You're just ignoring the arguments as to why the character might wear it, as you'd rather make evidence fit your theory than acknowledge the possibility of a different conclusion.
No. I directly addressed it and explained why it was A REALLY STUPID REASON. Would you hire/respect a grown man who dresses up in a costume everyday to emulate his idol?! That's why it's a stupid explanation.Wait... You missed that he's emulating Vader, his grandfather and idol?! Were you drunk and or high when you watched it?
That's the reason. That's it. He didn't need it.
You just described a 3-year old. That's "what." Our villain's motivations are only believable if you think of him as a 3yo and I can't criticize that? I'm sorry if I'm more discriminating than you are, but that's some poor storytelling and a blatant excuse for dressing him up like Vader.Rip off of A New Hope because Luke wore a helmet too? Oh wait.
And so what if he looks up to his grandpa and also wants to wear a helmet. So freakin' what. Lol
We want a new story without every act correlating to something from ANH. How hard is that? Is that unreasonable?And of course this was going to mirror A New Hope to some extent. What did people expect? Luke and Han doing backflips at 75? No. 30 years after part 6, new characters are going to be introduced and take over. New force users are going to be discovered and trained to fight this new evil. Unless people wanted them to already be established Jedis? Then people would just cry about wondering why they didn't show how they became Jedi/Jedi Knights.
I'm sick of hearing this like it's a bad thing. People liked A New Hope, and frankly it hasn't aged well. I liked getting a new version with more humor.
Also, he wasn't nearly the only one with a cape. Capes have been used to signify rank and royalty in our history and every indication is that The Empire has a similar custom.The cape added dramatic effect in the original so it sort of made sense.

I don't know, with a face like that, he might need it for others to take him seriously.
Which only goes to show that he's a pretty boy. We aren't saying he's ugly: we're saying he's doesn't fit our idea of an intimidating villain.I love these rips on his face. You do realize he is pretty much a sex symbol, correct?

It *is* a bad thing. Was Empire a rip-off re-telling of Hope? Next thing you're going to tell me is that Abrahms did the right thing when he made Star Trek Into Darkness retread Star Trek II.

Uhh, when has it not? What I noticed it's that cardboard-backed digital copy preorders were on the shelves at Wal-Mart the day after the movie started playing in theaters. IIRC, it had a bunch of extra content you could watch right away, but I'm still baffled: isn't the point of preordering to ensure proper distribution of stock and adequate supply before release? How does that apply to a DIGITAL copy with no physical media?!

I'm fine with it.
This is really one of my favorite threads ever. The amount of nitpicking is just unprecedented...
Now we're bitching about hoods and masks and shit. I'm really amazed at how some of you can enjoy anything in life.
#teenangst
which isn't very "sithy" I'm guessing he is going to get a drastic makeover for the next film.
But, hell, that further works against CZroe's silly argument: the mask further adds to his galaxy's notion of what a terrifying sith lord should be. Without it, he's just another pretty boy like his local Nazi commander.
Yep. It's a continuation of the "Lucas raped my childhood" vitriol from the prequels. Warms my heart to watch nerds thrash over something so ridiculous.
But realize the whole point of Ren is that you're supposed to sort of like him... he's a Solo for God's sake. He's NOT pure evil -- that is why he struggles throughout the movie.
He WILL be redeemed by the end of EP9 -- most likely by the hand of Rey. They are relatives of some sort, and together they will overthrow Snoke. You're not supposed to hate Ren. You're supposed to, and will end up cheering for him in the end as Snoke and the First Order is defeated.
If they make him "hateable" now, then you will never cheer for him.
