Who is that Voice Speaking to Kylo Ren!?

“There has been an awakening…have you felt it?”

By now we are all familiar with the first infamous line of the trailers that has shown us the little bit we know of Episode VII.

But the major question still remains.

Who does this voice belong to?

One of the most recent trailers had the unnamed speaker continue this speech..

After Ren answers whoever is speaking to him with a simple yet ghoulish “yes”, the conversation continues with..

“Even you have never faced such a test…and it’s time”

That very short, extremely vague conversation holds a lot of weight.

At this time, we are left in the dark on who that speaker could be.

Some basic logic tells us that it would be Ren’s master or at least something along those lines.

He is clearly talking to Ren from the perch of a superior…and that’s what is most fascinating…

Let’s just guess and say Kylo Ren is in his upper 20’s.

That would mean this unknown figure would most likely be at the very least in his 50’s.

So if you think about where The Force Awakens is in the chronological order of Star Wars (about 30 years after ROTJ), then this figure would be very much alive and well during the Empire’s defeat at the Battle of Endor.

But that still doesn’t reveal anything of major substance.

Now, the next part of this little guessing name would lead us to Darth Vader and why Kylo Ren appears to be so obsessed with the Dark Lord.

It’s clear that Vader was trying to seduce Luke to the Dark Side and failed.

Which practically explains what Ren means when he says “I will finish what you started”.

Now that’s all fine and dandy but I have to jump once again to the estranged voice we hear in the trailers talking to Kylo Ren.

If that figure was a powerful force user during the time of the Empire when Palpatine was present, wouldn’t he be aligned with Sidious?

Thus more, in knowing what the dark and twisted mind of the Emperor’s was really like, would he not try to spin this in his favor?

Of course he would!

However, I think we can say with a clear conscience that Emperor Palpatine, Darth Sidious, what ever you want to call him….is dead.

Now none of this makes any sense.

Well, I’m officially confused.

We can contemplate and philosophize only so much!

I guess we’ll have to wait till opening night.

19 days away people…
