20 Things You Somehow Missed In Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens
13. Kylo Ren Places His Mask On Some Rather Disturbing Stuff
From one First Order menace to another, one seriously creepy detail was largely overlooked by just about every Force Awakens fan around the time of the film's release.
A few months later, though, right when Episode VII was about to arrive on Blu-ray, J. J. Abrams opted to shed some light (via EW) on precisely what was going down during a moment involving Kylo Ren and his Darth Vader tribute mask.
The director would eventually note how the table of dust he dumps his mask on whilst interrogating Rey was actually a table full of the ashes of his victims. Lovely.
That table suddenly disappears in the next shot, however, with Abrams eventually revealing that this moment originally went down much earlier in the movie during the scene involving Ren talking to his grandfather's melted mask.
They soon realised the moment worked better with the one-time Ben Solo keeping his mask on instead. But Abrams felt this ashes slam was too damn cool to cut, so he simply threw it into the Rey conversation.
