In an interview with Vanity Fair, Adam Driver, who plays Kylo Ren discusses the psychological state of his character. He discusses the struggle of being the kid of the two coolest people in the galaxy. Driver points out that while Ren’s parents, Han and Leia, are cool, their dedication and obsession with their lifestyles — smuggling, rebelling — don’t leave much room for raising kids. He grew up under the crushing pressure of having to live up to unrealistic expectations.
In the same interview, Driver also discussed the whole ReyLo situation and whether Kylo Ren will end up being in a relationship with Rey, possibly as part of a redemption angle. Naturally, Driver wasn’t able to reveal much, but he doesn’t shut down the idea either. Driver’s words definitely piques my interest. Could we end up getting a Shakespearean romance between Rey and Ren? Would Rey have to end up killing Ren after failing to bring him back to the light? December can’t come any sooner!
