Talk:Ben Solo

He
This might seem really stupid and nit-picky, especially coming from me, but shouldn't this character be gender neutral as of now? Even with a voice over, we don't specifically know if this is a female or male character (Okay, someone might know, but source it then). Regardless of what we know is coming (Or don't know), I'm just wondering aloud and suggesting. I suppose I'll just make the changes, but if someone wants to fix it or what have you, go ahead with a source, I suppose. --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 23:02, December 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * I intended to do that, but a "his" slipped in there. Thank you for correcting that. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 23:04, December 2, 2014 (UTC)

Sith or at least dark sided
Would it be a stretch to say that he or she is a dark side individual, because no jedi uses red like ever.--71.86.95.26 22:52, December 7, 2014 (UTC)[Tacolyte3]71.86.95.26 22:52, December 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * Common sense says that you will be right, sure, but we can only add what we can source, and we don't know who this character is yet. We've never seen a Jedi use red before, but maybe they do after Return of the Jedi? (I know I would write a Jedi with a red lightsaber if it were up to me.) So until we know for sure, we can't say that this person is a dark sider. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 22:55, December 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hmm. What about the fact that as this guy appears, a voiceover is heard saying "the dark side." Or is that too out-of-universe? ProfessorTofty (talk) 00:58, December 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * Too much of an assumption. The narrator says "There's been an awakening. Have you felt it?" right before John Boyega pops up. Does that mean he just woke up? =P - Brandon Rhea (talk) 01:01, December 12, 2014 (UTC)

Lightsaber link
Could we please hyper link this in as his lightsaber - will make it easier for people trying to find out what kind of weapon it is rather than just a lightsaber. I think it is safe to say that while many of us are aware of the crossguard existing in the universe before there will be a good number of people who are unaware of it's existence prior to episode VIII.

 * That's a Legends page, so it doesn't apply to a canon page. However, Kylo Ren's lightsaber is indeed linked to on the page. It's hyperlinked on "special design." I've changed where the link appears, though, in order to make this clearer. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 01:56, December 12, 2014 (UTC)

That this is a crossguard lightsaber is just speculation, there are more than this theory, for example (instable lightsaber crystal/valve) so please do wait until you have facts until you state something.

Ren's Mask
Is it just me, or does anyone else see a resemblance between Kylo Ren and Darth Revan; Dark cloak, red light-saber, similar Mandalorian style mask. It is too speculative to suggest that Ren's using Revan's old mask, and add this to the article? --501st scout (talk) 15:04, April 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * KOTOR does not exist in Disney Wars, so no, we would not add that to this article. &mdash; DigiFluid(Whine here) 15:23, April 17, 2015 (UTC)

Affiliation
While I think it is likely that Kylo Ren is affiliated with the First Order, isn't it still speculation at this point? I think the only evidence towards this would be him and First Order Stormtroopers in the same shot, but there could be a lot of ways that could play that don't require him to be a affiliated with the organization.--CptSteam (talk) 16:39, April 22, 2015 (UTC)

Do we see him fighting with the First Order? Or do we see him fighting in the vicinity of the First Order? If one saw Anakin Skywalker fighting battle droids on Mustafar totally out of context before Revenge of the Sith was released, wouldn't one assume he was fighting for the Republic? Save your speculation for places like Reddit, which is where, incidentally, that wiki "sources" its information. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 21:25, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * No longer following today, IGN released some information on him. http://www.ign.com/wikis/star-wars/Kylo_Ren Nicktc 18:59, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * A user-created wiki is not an appropriate or official source of canon information. It is still speculation.--CptSteam (talk) 20:37, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * IGN was considered Canon before on this wiki. Nicktc 20:41, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * IGN is not a "user-created wiki," it is a news network. No reason why it should not be treated as legitimate information&mdash;with the caveat that verification from an official source is better. &mdash; DigiFluid(Whine here) 20:44, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * IGN also has a wiki, and that's what was linked to. If it was a news story, that'd be different. That being said, I think removing First Order on the grounds of "it's still speculation" is pretty silly considering we see him fighting for the First Order in the trailer. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 21:06, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * It may be nit-picky, but I prefer to not state what we can't source. For all we know those two shots in the trailer could be Rylo leading renegade Stormtroopers against the First Order. Unlikely, but the point is we don't know.--CptSteam (talk) 21:16, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
