the Star Wars The sequel trilogy has been the subject of many online rants, whether it’s over The Last Jedi expectations of outstanding fans or the Rise of Skywalker deflate them. However, there is one group that has come out largely unscathed.
The prequel trilogy, rightly or wrongly, was teased by the performances of Hayden Christensen, Jake Lloyd, Natalie Portman, and others. Since so many words have been written about the disappointments of the sequels, very little anger has been directed towards the cast.
Fans hold the performances of Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Oscar Isaac in high regard, even if they think the movies are disappointing. However, Adam Driver receives special recognition.
From Ben Solo to Kylo Ren to Reylo
Ben Solo’s journey was one of the most complex in the trilogy. When he appeared early The awakening of the forceHe was a formidable figure who at first appeared to be the Darth Vader sequel trilogy version. But he was possibly more complex than even his notorious grandfather.
Before we realized that Kylo Ren was the son of Han Solo and General Leia Organa, he became a terrifying villain. His use of the dark side of the Force was chilling, in part because he had considerable self-control issues.
While Darth Vader generally remained calm and calm, Kylo Ren faced tantrums, which made him even more troubling.
Although Kylo Ren killed his own father near the end of The force awakens, The Last JedI forged a bond between him and Rey, with Kylo Ren controversially telling Rey that her parents were nobody, trash dealers who abandoned her.
Although Skywalker’s rise By reconciling this by making Rey a Palpatine, she remained basically good, while Kylo was never entirely a friend or foe. That made her redemption difficult.
Fans make a distinction between Ben Solo and Kylo Ren

We rarely saw “Ben Solo” as such during the sequels, but such was Adam Driver’s skill that there was a distinction, fans on Reddit say. An initiator of the theme wrote: “Ben Solo. Although we only saw a little of him, every second was absolutely phenomenal. Adam Driver is a generational talent and has just crushed himself performing a Solo. ‘
One of the rare scenes from “Ben Solo” entered Rise of Skywalker, where Harrison Ford appeared in a surprise cameo. He is not a Force ghost, but it seems to be a vision Ben has as he struggles to reconcile the warring sides of him. They have this exchange:
“Han Solo: I missed you, son.
Kylo Ren: Your son is dead.
Han Solo: No … Kylo Ren is dead. My son is alive
Kylo Ren: [in disbelief] You are just a memory.
Han Solo: Your memory. Come home.
Kylo Ren: It is too late. She has left.
Han Solo: Your mother is gone. But what she stood for, what she fought for … that didn’t go away.
Han Solo: Ben …
Kylo Ren: I know what I have to do, but I don’t know if I have the strength to do it.
Han Solo: [touches Kylo’s cheek] You do.”
What has Adam Driver said about his character?
Driver has been famous for being shy to the point that he doesn’t like listening to recordings of his own performances during interviews. But that hasn’t stopped him from being philosophical about his character.
According to Nerdist, Driver told a journalist that Han and Leia had an involuntary role in the creation of Kylo Ren because they were inattentive parents.
Driver himself told Review Journal last year: “I learned how you shouldn’t always find out what your experience will be. You should experience it. And everyone experiences everything differently. It’s almost more generous to give someone space so they can do something so special for them. Not that someone said to me, ‘It will be like this for you to join the cast of’ Star Wars. ” ‘ I had to get there myself. “
