Kylo Ren is a circus bear under that mask, right? So something other than The Force Awakens. https://t.co/Wx7oSeelCD

So here’s my theory. Kylo Ren is Rey’s brother. Both are Han and Leia’s estranged kids. He takes after his grandfather. She after her uncle.

Let the Kylo Ren/Luke Skywalker theories fly! Abrams doesn’t do obvious, though.
