Adam Driver has revealed more about the original arc set for Kylo Ren – and, as it turns out, his big redemption in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was never the plan.
"I had an overall arc in mind that [JJ Abrams] wanted to do, which then changed, but his idea was almost the opposite journey of Vader," Driver told The Rich Eisen Show. "Where Vader starts the most confident, the most committed to the dark side, and by the last movie he's the most vulnerable and weak. And he wanted to start it the opposite, where this character was the most confused and vulnerable, and by the end of the three movies, would be most committed to the dark side. So I tried to keep that arc in mind, regardless if that wound up not being the journey anyway, because it changed, obviously."
