Message: [QUOTE="FeedTheDove, post: 1565984, member: 2219"] This is a little off-topic, but I just finished listening to The Force Awakens novel audio book. I thought it would be interesting to point out some details of the book that were not included in the movie. If you're strictly a movie person and don't want to pay attention to the books, then I would stop reading now. - This is inferred during the movie, but we find out that Snoke has been around for a long time, definitely dating back to the original trilogy. - Snoke tells Kylo that the reason that Kylo is Snoke's most valuable student is because he is able use both the power of the dark side AND the light side. - The novel explains how Poe survived the crash. I won't go into the details, but some people probably didn't like how he just shows back up in the movie with no explanation. - Plutt tracks Rey down and sees her at Maz's castle. When he tries to take her back with him, Chewwy rips his arm off. - Leia doesn't show any support for the new Republic. Here are two key ones in my opinion: - After Kylo kills Han, rather than feeling stronger because of his actions, he feels even weaker, like something wasn't right. This just adds fuel to the fire to the conflicting character that is Kylo Ren. He has so much light in him still, and I can't wait to see how his character will develop. - When Rey is kicking Kylo's a** after she channels the force during their duel, she hears a voice in her head say "Kill him." The voice is not specified in the novel but I think we are supposed to believe that it is Snoke's voice. I'm sure I am missing some other scenes that are included in the novel that aren't in the movie, but those are the ones that stuck out to me. If anyone has read the novel that wants to add to this list, that would be awesome. One other thing that I thought would be worth pointing out which might mean nothing at all, but also might mean a whole lot is the voice actor for Snoke. In the audio book, Snoke's voice sounds a HELL of a lot like the emperor's voice. The way he emphasized certain syllables was definitely reminiscent of Sidious. I was sitting there like "am I listening to the emperor talk right now?" I'm not a supporter of the theory that Snoke is palpatine, but I thought that was very interesting. [/QUOTE]
