This has now been directly addressed in.First, he explains that Luke is tailoring his projection specifically enrage Kylo.' Luke is basically tailoring this projection to have maximum effect on Kylo,' Johnson explained. 'He knows that Kylo’s Achilles heel is his rage, and so that’s why he kind of makes himself look younger, the way Kylo would’ve last seen him in their confrontation at the temple, and that’s why he decided to bring Kylo’s grandfather’s lightsaber down there - the lightsaber that Kylo screamed at Rey, ‘that’s mine, that belongs to me.’' As far as Johnson's concerned, Luke believes that Anakin's lightsaber will have a much more visceral impact on the erstwhile Ben Solo than Luke's own green blade.So why doesn't Kylo Ren notice it?
According to Johnson, Kylo Ren doesn't totally know what happened to the lightsaber.' We as an audience saw that.
IX in the bag they can do that book about Luke's Jedi Academy that people have wanted. I like how the book 'hopes' to look deeper into Kylo Ren's past. You can't argue with that kind of optimism!

The truth is, we see the lightsaber split in half - Kylo sees a blinding flash of light and is knocked unconscious, and then Rey takes the lightsaber away before he wakes up,' he said. 'So if you really want to dig into it and get an explanation, you can say that he doesn’t 100 percent know what happened to the lightsaber.' Luke has no way of knowing that his blue lightsaber had been destroyed. He was on Ahch-To when it happened and presumably was still cut off from the Force.As for why Kylo didn't notice the inconsistency, that's an intentional choice by the filmmakers. You may have noticed during the fight that at one point they zoom in on Luke's feet. It was previously established that the planet has a thin layer of salt, and stepping on it leave bright red footprints.
Kylo also fails to realize that Luke isn't leaving footprints. His emotions and hatred blind him to the obvious.
Could it be something else:Luke is choosing to present an idealized version of himself, he looks younger, he beard is dyed and trimmed. He is choosing the ideal lightsaber for him the Legendary one.
This is not Luke as he is, this is the legendary Luke Skywalker, coming to save the day. Him arriving is a huge morale boost for the Resistance as much as anything. It harks back to some things he talks to Rey about earlier in the film.The details of his appearance are inconsequential to Kilo Ren, as @TenthJustice says he is blinded to what is in front of his eyes. In factLooking nearly as Kylo Ren remembers him, possibly plays to his rage better than a wizened old man would.
Solidworks torrent for mac. Remember that Kylo has no way of knowing how many light sabers there are. Luke has been gone for years. Maybe he built another one. Blue is a fairly common lightsaber color in canon.
Obi-Wan's was also blue.Kylo was also not exactly being rational, a point the movie went way out of its way to emphasize. I mean he doeshave half a dozen AT-ATs shoot at Luke continuously for a ridiculously long time, until Hux finally makes them stopI don't have a problem with him missing a minor detail, like the color of a lightsaber. Is constructing a lightsaber even supposed to be that difficult, even?
Kylo Ren apparently made his own despite clearly being less experienced. Luke managed to put together his second lightsaber himself, without outside help.
In TLG's flashbacks, Kylo Ren had a blue lightsaber, which seems to hint that all the trainees had their own. Sure seems to indicate that Luke absolutely could have acquired multiple other lightsabers (and in fact probably should have had spares around from the trainees). I don't see any reason Kylo Ren would question the saber colour as a result.–Dec 28 '17 at 14:26.
This was my original thought when I first saw the movie, but I decided to wait until some of the hype died down before posting it. I postulate that Kylo Ren went to the dark side because he was, at best, a mediocre Jedi.Here is how I believe things went down.Luke started the new Jedi Academy and things were going pretty great. He has a bunch of students and is teaching them the ways of the force like Yoda taught him. But I also believe that Luke's academy was very different from the old academy in one way. He did NOT teach light saber combat, or at the very least he was withholding those lessons for students who earned and/or needed them.I have a couple different ideas backing up this part of the theory. First being that significance placed on Luke's light saber, as if it is a rare thing. I understand it is also significant because it is Luke's but I think it is telling that it is not a new saber.The second is Kylo's saber.
He uses what is basically a crude light saber, one that is not properly built. A lot of the old order Jedi training revolves around creating your first saber.
I believe Luke cut this out and therefore Kylo built his own, possibly using an incomplete holocron or something similar.As for why Kylo built the saber in defiance of Luke's teachings, I believe it is because he was not a great force sensitive.When we first see Kylo, he uses the Force to stop a blaster bolt mid air. This makes for an incredible badass looking scene. But what if that 'trick' wasn't hard? There is an old quote, that basically says even the greatest fencer can be disarmed by a trick he does not know. Another important detail is stopping a bolt is a DEFENSIVE maneuver, something maybe developed by Luke, whose school places importance on using the force defensively.Throughout the rest of the movie, we see him struggle with the force. He doesn't commune with Vader's force ghost, he struggles to pull information out of people, he does poorly in a saber duel with novices, the list goes on.So, putting these facts together, I sum up my theory as this:Kylo is told all of life that he is destined to be great.
He is lavished with praise as a child when he so much as takes his first steps. He is told stories of how awesome and great his mother, father, uncle, and grandfather were. About how powerful they are with the force and that he is surely going to be one of the greats. He is ballooned with pride, and maybe Leia and Han are somewhat absent as parents (Han not being the father type, and Leia running the New Republic). Now he enters the Academy with great pomp and circumstance. Unfortunately, while he is force sensitive, he isn't great.
He tries the force lift, but someone can lift more while he struggles with adequate. He tries mind tricks, but always seems to be just short of convincing the guards whose droids they are looking for.
Maybe he is pretty good at force boosting physical abilities, but that show off Chaz manages to edge him out every time.Now he is getting frustrated, and can't find what he is good at. So then he thinks about all of the stories. About how his Grandfather was suppose to be a great warrior. About Vader's epic fight with Luke in Cloud City, or how he defeated the great Emperor.
So he thinks, 'I'm great, I know I am, its just that my uncle won't give me a light saber because he knows I would be too great for him'. He starts fetishing the great warrior Vader.With the seeds planted, Kylo beings to seek power. He finds Snoke, the Knights of Ren, and builds his cracked saber. He falls to the dark side, returns to the academy and slaughters everyone who made him look bad. EDIT: Kylo was able to dispatch the other academy members (who were better force users) because Luke did not teach combat (at least, not yet), and they certainly did not have sabers, so its a case of him being better prepared (also he had the Knights, who we know nothing about).
Also he could have used a trap. As for why Luke himself didn't stop Kylo, well, that is probably for a different theory.So there you have it. My theory on Kylo's journey to the dark side.EDIT: A couple expansions and rebuttals to common comments.On Kylo's performance in the saber duel - It has been pointed out repeatedly that Kylo took a shot from the Bowcaster and kept fighting. This is indeed a worthy feat as the strength of the bow-caster is shown to be tremendous. In my defense, I am a big believer in this comic showing Chewie's thought process at the time. So while wounded, I think Chewie put a shot where it would not be fatal on purpose. Second I hold the force users to a higher standard, and there have been jedi/sith/whatever that have fought through more grievous wounds.
Lastly, I interpret Kylo pounding on his wound as a way to focus his dark side power, as opposed to how other people interpreted it as him trying to stop the bleeding and/or the pain. Dark side users tend to draw power from pain, and that is how I saw it.Concerning mind reading - Kylo does get information out of some people. But other powerful force users seem to be able to read others like open books while Kylo struggles.MEDIOCRE! - (sorry) - Anyway, when I say Kylo was a mediocre pupil, I do not mean he was bad necessarily. I am using the word in its natural sense. I believe he was competent, just not GREAT like uncle Luke and grandfather Anakin.
Maybe he even was great at like one thing (like maybe he is truly great at energy manipulation using the force, hence the blaster bolt), but he felt he was suppose to be great at EVERYTHING. Then he just wasn't. And then every time he came in second, or third (or worse) in class he slipped a little more until he finally snapped. Or just the attachments of having a family can cause problems. Anakin having attachments were part of what made him susceptible to the Dark Side. Kylo has a sense of self-entitlement (his obsession with Vader) and ambition - passion to fulfill it. Forget Force Push, Jedi Padawan's need lessons in communication.

Forget mysticism and hidden meanings. Forget poorly worded prophecies, simple 'I feel.' Statements would probably have saved countless lives in like half a dozen situations.' The Council doesn't trust me.' Is a statement.' I feel like the Council doesn't trust me' is a request for assurances from a friend.
Maybe Obi-Wan says something like 'They trust you. You are a Jedi Knight. Never forget what an awesome and incredible thing that is. What a responsibility that is, and the power it grants you. The balance of the universe is often in the hands of one single Jedi Knight.
