Kylo Ren konfronterar i början av Force Awakens Lor San Tekka på Jakku, för att den första ordningen har lärt sig att
Tekka has part of a map that leads to Luke Skywalker.
I filmen visar Kylo Ren vid flera tillfällen att han kan
use the Force to extract information from individuals' minds.
Det är också tydligt klart att Supreme Leader Snoke är mycket intresserad av
obtaining the map, rather than simply preventing it from finding its way to the Resistance.
Slutligen är det klart att Kylo Ren tror
that reading one's memory of the map is sufficient — which is why he suspends the search for BB-8 after he learns that Rey has seen the map.
Så, istället för
executing Tekka,
Varför försökte inte Kylo Ren att extrahera informationen från hans sinne?
Han var (som noterat tidigare) i grunden en whiny emo tonåring inuti. Novelization är MYCKET tydlig att han i grunden dödade Tekka i en passform av tantrum.
För det första förhandlar han med Tekka för att få kartan:
“You know what I’ve come for.”
“I know where you come from.” ...
From behind the mask, a growl: feral, but still human. “Careful. The map to Skywalker. We understand you’ve acquired it. And now you’re going to give it to the First Order.” ...
“You don’t belong with them.” Tekka spoke calmly, ...
Impatience on the part of the visitor gave way to exasperation. “How is it possible that a conversation becomes so tedious, so quickly?” A sweep of one long arm encompassed the boundaries of the village. “Don’t turn a simple transaction into a tragedy for these people.” A tincture of undiluted sadism stained the voice behind the mask. “Hasn’t your presence here done enough for them already?”
“I made my peace with these folk and this place long ago. As to the other, to turn away from your heritage is the true tragedy.”
Då kommer Tekkas hela samtal till honom, och han slår ett tantrum:
Ren stiffened ever so slightly as he leaned forward. “Enough witless banter.” He held out a hand. “Old man, give it to me.”
...
“You may try,” Tekka responded with quiet defiance, “but you cannot deny the truth that is your family.”
Kylo Ren seemed to grow before him. Rage flared behind the mask as reason gave way to fury. A lightsaber appeared in one hand, flaring to life, a barely stable crimson shaft notable for two smaller projections at the hilt: a killer’s weapon, an executioner’s fetish of choice. “So true.”
Med detta sagt skulle det troligtvis inte ha någon betydelse:
Tekka hade förmodligen inte sett kartan, så att läsa kartinnehåll från hans sinne är omöjligt.
“Your orders, sir?” she murmured.
Kylo Ren surveyed his blazing surroundings. He had already spent too much time here, to only partial satisfaction. He disliked such delays. “Kill them all, Captain Phasma, and search the village. Every building, every possible storage facility and place of concealment. When your troops have razed it to the ground, search the ground. Scanners, perceptors. You know what to look for.”
