Star Wars : The Last Jediwriter / director Rian Johnson has commented on the film ’s villainy , including why he believes Kylo Ren is a relatable quality for the audience . ThoughThe Force Awakensfeatured the ballyhooed returns of franchise legends Luke Skywalker , Han Solo , and Princess Leia , the motion-picture show was more about the fresh generation of character that would be carrying the subsequence trilogy forward . Chief among the addition was Kylo Ren , son of Han and Leia and dark side apprentice to Supreme Leader Snoke . His internal dispute made him one of the more nuanced and fascinating figures in the series to date , with Adam Driver delivering a powerful performance .
The former Ben Solo survive the events ofEpisode VII , do the stage for a very compelling arc in the sequel . Snoke was disappointed by his student ’s failure at Starkiller radical , meaningKylo is on a personal mission to prove himselfas a worthy ally to the First Order . At the same time , the determination to murder his sire haunts Kylo , withHan Solo ’s figural ghost looming over himevery day . That kind of dichotomy is what makes Kylo Ren truly engrossing , and it ’s an expression of the fibre Johnson savour while writing .
speak withEmpire , Johnson discuss why he liked writing for Kylo so much , remarking that the opponent ’s struggle act into the bombastic paper ofStar Warsand piddle him human :
“ Writing Kylo Ren is just so much playfulness . Star Wars roil down to the transition from adolescence into adulthood . That ’s the heart of these picture and Rey is most obviously the one that hangs on . But it ’s also Kylo . In the pilot you project only onto Luke , while Vader is the scary other — he ’s the minotaur . The fascinating thing about Kylo and Rey is that they ’re two sides of something . We can all relate to Kylo : to that anger of being in the turmoil of adolescence and count on out who he ’s going to be as a man ; dealing with anger and wanting to assort from his family . He ’s not Vader — at least , he ’s not Vader yet — and that ’s something I really want to get into . ”
Many believe Kylo had attain the point of no return when he killed Han , but that was an activity that made him faint , and not stronger . Given that the character beginsThe Last Jediin a rehabilitation state , his hullabaloo should be quite rife in the sequel . This is one of the benefit of havingEpisode VIIIpick up just moments after its predecessor . It force Kylo to deal with the immediate consequence of what he did as he continues his phylogenesis . Interestingly enough , a SnokeLast Jediaction chassis that recites alleged phrases from the movieseemingly taunting Kylo Renby saying,“Your emotion have made you weak . “All of this arguably makes Kylo quite the likeable figure as he is tear between the legacy of his family lineage and desire to become his own man .
As for Snoke , Johnsonreiterated what he has said before , stating that the Supreme Leader ’s entire backstory / history will not be revealed in his film . His reasoning is he only wanted to furnish that information"where it service the story,“which is an approach many spectator can get behind . The Last Jedihas a lot on its plate , so it ’d be better if it did n’t get bogged down in filler and tell the audience only what was necessary . This is how the original trilogy handled thing , so Johnson is form with a successful template . Hopefully it work out forEpisode VIIIas well , and the saga gets another thrilling chapter .
