Episode VII (spoilers)

[Drich]

I thought you were an atheist.

Enjoyment of fiction unencumbered by too much dissecting of the plot, characters or technicalities is very different than unthinkingly accepting a fiction as truth.

For example, if I think about it too much I might start to not like the movie as much as I did. I might begin to dwell on little things like why that one storm trooper had a weapon than could go up against a light saber but Kylo Ren had to create his light saber from old technology.  Or the "stop taking my hand!" hooey.

When dissecting a story starts to affect my enjoyment of the story, that's when I need to turn my brain off and just go with the flow.  (While still acknowledging that it is fiction.)

I think Kylo's light saber, much like his darth revan helmet and the vader helmet were all relics he collected. He has taken the title "Knight of ren" because he carries one of thier old light sabers/Light claymoore. It looks like a Knights templar blade. He is attempting to project the same fear/power these objects had in the hands of their original owners. Hitler did the same with the SS ruins, the swastika, and all the other symbology and chants placed on the uniforms/his army.
