I'm good with more of the same...if it's sameness from IV, V, and VI, and not 1, II, and III.

Yeah, the ole "if it ain't broke, don't fit it" rule usually applies.

True, and pics of the guy as Ren were released ("leaked") earlier, which would be a nice way of JJ covering things up. The guy might very well be playing Ren under the mask during regular scenes, but when they go for a reveal, I can imagine Skywalker appearing.

Adam Driver appears to be taller and thinner than Mark Hamill, but who knows.  Time will tell.  Personally, I'm hoping that Kylo Ren is Jon Snow.  ::) >:D

I'm not nearly fanboi enough to geek out over this. I'm sure it'll be pretty straightforward. JJ isn't known (at least not in my mind anyway) for twists or surprises. I would appreciate some kind of twist in this new Star Wars series, though.

Uh, didn't he blow up Vulcan?  ;D

Just read a rather compelling article:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rob-conery/luke-skywalker-theory-destroys-everything-star-wars_b_8392698.html?utm_hp_ref=entertainment&ir=Entertainment&utm_source=zergnet.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=zergnet_745729&ncid=edlinkushpmg00000122

This is essentially a very well-thought-out argument that Luke is going to be a Sith Lord in this new trilogy...that he's given in to the Dark Side. I gotta admit, his arguments are valid (though several people tried to shoot holes in his theory in the comments...but, of course they did). What he's said makes a lot of sense.

Oh boy, here's some more: http://www.looper.com/4227/reasons-kylo-ren-probably-luke-skywalker/

This makes total sense, after kissing your sister a couple of times and then losing her to Han, I can see why he went to the Dark Side

Not sure if we'll get to see it in Arizona or not when we're out there for Christmas.

I also subscribed to that theory after seeing the latest trailer.  Think about it and it all makes sense.  You find out that your dad was a sith lord for the empire.  Then you save him only to lose him moments after saving his soul and all the thanks you get is a bunch of ewoks doing a corny victory dance.  I'd swing over to the dark side as well.
