February marks a decade since it was first reported by Variety that Adam Driver would join the cast of the highly-anticipated Star Wars: Episode VII as a character “in the vein of iconic villain Darth Vader.” That character turned out to be Kylo Ren, a powerful dark side user with a moral complexity and ties to the past. Kylo Ren ultimately follows a similar path to Darth Vader by turning on the light before meeting his demise, but Driver recently shared that wasn’t always the plan.In a recent interview, Driver shared that Kylo Ren was initially set to embark on a path that would’ve been the opposite of Darth Vader’s, with the character slipping more and more into darkness. While plans changed along the way during the development of the sequel trilogy, Driver was still able to elevate Kylo Ren to an iconic villain on the level of other franchise standouts.The sequel trilogy features the strongest performances out of any Star Wars trilogy thanks to casting director Nina Gold and the direction of J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson. Driver delivered the most memorable because of his major role in the trilogy as the villain and because of his command of the character. Driver was able to embody Darth Vader performers James Earl Jones and David Prowse. Driver also shared incredibly emotional scenes with Harrison Ford’s Han Solo and Mark Hamill’s Luke Skywalker, while building a strong rapport with Daisy Ridley’s Rey. Driver was never able to share the screen with Carrie Fisher, but their emotional connection was still felt, in part because of his strong performance.
