   I will be very surprised if as much time is spent on Kylo-Ren/Snope as will be   
   spent on Rey/Luke. Or any time spent on them other than, 'You are now trained.   
   Go kill Luke and bring me Rey.' Would be interesting to see that side of it   
   but that part will    
   probably be in the comic book.
