I'm sort of boggled that I really hadn't put this stuff together quite this way before -- how most of the things I've always loved about Luke are the ways he broke the macho hero mold.
We just went to see the movie for a second time yesterday, so I really love being able to read your thoughts about this. Thank you for sharing them! I just cannot wait to see the next movie! I feel like it's possible we could get Han Solo flashback scenes. When Mas Kanata asks Han Solo what's the deal with Rey, Rey leaves to go talk to Fin, who's on his way out, and we follow them and completely miss Han's answer to her. Interesting.
I love your comparison of Kylo Ren to school shooters. BRILLIANT.
Man, I hope you're right! I really want to know the rest of that conversation.
I can't claim credit for the school shooter thing; that was all Gail Simone. But it really crystallizes everything people have been saying about him. However Ben got broken, the result is chillingly similar to what we see in the real world.

There are several others floating around, but that and Emo Kylo Ren are the only consistently funny ones I've seen.
The fact that the official Hot Topic account has been replying to EKR is just the cherry on the sundae.
