8 Questions That Star Wars: The Force Awakens Needs To Answer

There are a number of burning fan questions that are clearly (read: hopefully) going to be answered in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. We have questions of whether Rey and Kylo Ren are of Skywalker lineage, how the dregs of the Empire became the First Order, who the Knights of Ren are, where the hell the trailer-absent Luke Skywalker fits into this new trilogy - these are all things that The Force Awakens will simply have to clear up for the audience, simply in order for the film to progress and for viewers to catch up.

4) If The Force Became Myth Then How Did Kylo Ren Learn How To Use It?

If what we suspect is true, and the whole concept of the force has been lost to time by the period depicted in The Force Awakens, then how come Kylo Ren knows how to use it?

It’s not just a case of having to actually be aware of the force in order to learn it in the first place. Someone would have had to teach Kylo the ways of the force, but that raises a ton of questions, considering the only living proponent of it – Luke Skywalker – is an enemy of the First Order.

The first Episode VII teaser, narrated by Andy Serkis’ Supreme Leader Snoke, suggests Snoke is force sensitive himself, meaning he could have been the master to Kylo Ren’s padawan. But then again, we know that Kylo isn’t even Sith, but a member of the Knights of Ren, a scrappy group that mostly carries traditional weapons like blasters, whereas Kylo is the only one holding a lightsaber.

It begs the question, who was even around to teach him how to make one of those?
