At first I didn’t catch what was so spoilery about this tweet… until I realized he said “the sword fight with Rey and Ren.”

At this point, my mind immediately turns to the theory that Rey and Kylo are somehow related. “Fantastic visual storytelling” seems synonymous with an emotional center point, like a battle between relations. Of course, there is still the possibility they’re not related at all, and that the duel is important for a different reason. But it’s something to think about.
Personally, I don’t find this revelation too surprising. It was likely to happen at some point, with the way things were building and how Rey is in the same location with Finn and Kylo when the latter two begin their duel. Now, it’s just one more thing to look forward to.
