    I remember when Adam Driver was cast (we still didnt know who he would be), I immediately sighed with a relief because that was a clear sign that Disney knows how to cast talent for Star Wars.

    Love him!

    It’s great how when you play in a Starwars movie, everything you do after becomes news to Starwars fans. Adam is Great. His characterization of Kilo Ren is great.

    I can’t believe Disney let Driver play a parody of his own character, in costume even. It’s a downright hilarious skit. I am pretty sure they saw how well it worked with Darth Vader in the 70’s and 80’s and Star Wars is pop culture… so kudos to Disney for being mature.

        Having the actor play his character in costume as a joke can be seen as a bad thing. It takes away from movie illusion. Audience is supposed o forget he in an actor so it’s best to only see the character in THAT world.

          I don’t think Disney has to grant permission, since it’s a parody. Although the costume looked authentic enough that I wondered if they did get some help from Lucasfilm.

            SNL does not need permission but Adam does. they don’t want actors making money off characters outside Disney projects.

    Easily one of the best additions to the cast. I found him quite believable as the son of Han and Leia. And these sketches he’s done are fantastic! I sense a very bright future for him.

    kylo ren is the weakest villain in all Sw universe this only make him look worse and adam driver sucks … only his mask is cool i hope in episode 8 he redeems the dark side because what jar jar showed was lazy and poor writen

      Because Dark Maul/Dooku/Grievous were better right? So well written complex characters… Adam Driver sucks? Did you like Hayden Christensen better? If you want a performance similar to that in ep VIII, IX you most likely wont be satisfied…

        i didnt like hayden but adam driver performed kylo ren quite bad maybe its the script the only thing i liked about him is the scene when he talks to vaders helmet after that he ruins taking his helmet off too soon and being childish, come on he is the master of the knights of ren and he is a pussy

          Dude Kylo Ren is the shit and Driver did a fine job. Part of the point of his character was that he still hasn’t completed his training, but he can already fuck shit up. I’m sure we’ll see a darker side of him in Episode 8.

          wait so ehm let me get this straight. Within the first 10 minutes he orders kill of an entire village, he kills his father, gets shot by chewie with the same bow that shoots a stormtrooper of his feet, landing 10 meters further, but Kylo gets off that bridge goes into the forrest, while bleeding out, and first almost kills Finn within some 30 seconds and still keeps on fighting, almost forgetting using the dark side to get info out of Poe Dameron, who screams for his life trying to not give the info Kylo wants, which he still gets. Just to be clear, someone is that is considered a Pussy in your book? ok……

        I actually thought Driver did an excellent job. There was a moment in the film when he totally channeled Anakin from episode 3, but gave us a good performance to go with it. Nicely done. He’s actually my favorite character in the new trilogy so far. Although the other mains are not far behind. They really knocked it out of the park in casting on this one.

      I think that’s the point. The Dark Side, for all its boasts of power, is actually a weakness, the Sith are would-be-Jedi that weren’t emotionally strong enough to bear the pressure of being the good guy.

      For all that we think Darth Vader was cool, Darth Vader was actually a pathetic individual who willfully trapped his children out of his mind in denial because the pain of what happened to Padme was too great. That’s why Vader was surprised Luke and Leia were still alive, not that he couldn’t see, it’s that he DIDN’T see as part of a repressed mental block.
      The badass cool-factor is a facade, that’s the point of the series — the polar opposite being the Jedi who choose lame white-toast justice over cool badass self-destruction.

      With the Sith viewed in this light, I think that Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren is the perfect follow-up to Darth Vader, BECAUSE he’s a pathetic individual. It fits the theme perfectly.
      Kylo Ren sees his acts of destruction as a means of justifying his previous mistakes, he killed his own father to make sure he would never have to apologize to him.
      If your complaining that Kylo Ren is a weakling, your kind of missing the point.
      Whether your a troll or not, I still feel this point ought to be put out there.

      Idk how you can actually place the facepainted double sided lightsaber, Saruman, and the walking cough sound effect above Ren. Where as the former 3 are a whole bunch of character-less obstacles for the hero’s Ren is not only a worthy obstacle but he actually has a character and depth to him as well. If we were to compare Vader in only his first movie to Ren right now, Ren is the better villian. If they keep developing him the way they did in TFA, Ren will be better than Vader.

    This SNL episode was terrible, though due more to the ever-pervasive crap they call writing these days. Driver was only working with what he was given. The only thing I could get a chuckle out of was the Undercover Boss skit, and I guess that was because I know the backstory. However, the skit kind of underscores the belief of some fans the Kylo Ren is a weak character. I just can’t get past the uncanny resemblance to David Schwimmer…

    On the upside though, Chris Stapleton!

      I disagree, SNL’s these days are only as good as the host. Elisabeth Banks, Tina Fey+Amy Poehler, heck, even Gosling and Trump were fantastic. I love Adam, he’s a great actor but the stuff he did for SNL was below mediocre leaning towards shitty

    Adam Driver is a good actor and Kylo is an interesting character, but being subject of comedy, he won’t become serious antagonist of ST. DelTolo should be main villain against Luke.
