One of the most saddest background stories among Star Wars characters is about General Hux.
- forced into fighting since childhood
- Abused physically and psychologically by his own father, knew that his father hated him ever since he was a child
- His life was never given actual importance, just seen as an opportunity to build Brendol's empire
- His stepmother Martelle Hux hated him more than Brendol (his father)
- Was brainwashed extremely against the resistance, pledged to end the new republic
- Treated roughly by his colleagues, his peers, got picked on
- Got abused by his father's friends as well, both psychologically and physically
- His father used to abuse him both ways, even in public and private (this just breaks my heart)
- Never had an actual mother to care for him
- His father called him worthless, thin as a slip of paper, and weak willed
- Got thrown around his entire life, isolated himself, went through severe paranoia, thought that every single adult male is out to get him
- Even as a General, he still got ignored, abused, thrown around and forgotten by Kylo Ren, and Snoke
- Lost his best friend Captain Phasma
- Lost his only creation, Starkiller Base
- He was demoted, rank was still there but not in spirit
- Replaced by Allegiant General Pryde, appointed by Kylo Ren
- Pryde knew Hux for decades, he was friends with Brendol and Martelle Hux, he was possibly another abuser of Hux
- Pryde also appointed two generals, and an admiral, sidelining Hux and taking the stormtrooper program away from his charge
- He soon realized that the First Order was just built for Palpatine's uprising, and that it didn't matter, nothing ever mattered, his rank didn't matter, and it was just a final stage to his fleet called the Final Order
- Having to be a spy because he was so, so done with all he fought and stood for his entire life
His background needs more recognition- his character is way complex and also important. He's way more than TLJ and TROS made us see.
