J.J. Abrams Discusses Shocking Kylo Ren Scene in Preview Clip rom 3D Blu-Ray Commentary Track


J.J. Abrams recorded a commentary track for the 3D blu-ray release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and USA Today released a preview clip that features Abrams commenting on the scene where Kylo Ren kills Han Solo near the end of the film. Abrams offers his thoughts on what Kylo was thinking during that emotional moment, as well as how Lawrence Kasdan's son Jon (who co-wrote the upcoming Han Solo spinoff with his father) helped them create the scene. Watch the clip below:

Abrams' commentary about Han convincing Kylo in the moment to walk away from Supreme Leader Snoke's influence is convincing. This scene shows that Kylo Ren is more emotionally complex, and it leaves a lot of questions that Rian Johnson and Colin Trevorrow will answer in Episodes VIII and IX. Will he be redeemed? Does he actually know that Snoke his using him? Or did he do this to gain Snoke's trust and eventually betray him?

The 3-D blu-ray of The Force Awakens will hit shelves on November 15.

Star Wars: Episode VIII is set to release in theaters on December 15, 2017.
