Thanks, that explained a lot to me. I blame KOTOR and other video games for making me think the Force was more segmented than it was. I was listing powers, and that's the wrong way to think about it.
Rey knowing Kylo changes things. Biggest argument I had was Rey could've easily killed Kylo, but went for non-lethal blows. Now? I got nothing. Fight ain't got no teeth cause family/guy saved her. It's not for sure, but it's good enough for me. Also, being as we all assumed she's a Skywalker, I should have assumed they would have had some contact.

Second ones a little wordy, but it's got some interviews on it.
And I know that all sounds evil, but they're indoctrinated to be peace knights, so...yay?

I have an idea for why they only train kids. I always thought it was because they were easier to teach. Now I'm thinking it's because they're easier to control. A child turning to the dark side would be preferable to an adult (no swinging arm), and they definitely indoctrinate the kids, because that's what Jedi training is. Easier to just leave the adults and take the kids, even with the off chance one of the adults is crazy enough to think they have powers. If force powers come from confidence, telling someone they're a Jedi makes them one. Not telling them makes it unlikely.BloatedGuppy said:Yoda does say Luke is too old to begin his training, but A) he obviously wasn't, and B) it always seemed his "training" to me was learning to settle down and not be an emotional basket case.
