Translated by @sakurau121, thank you!
Finally, on the 15th of December, the latest episode of the series âStar Wars: The Last Jediâ will premiere worldwide. Although the plot remains top secret, Daisy Ridley (who plays Rey) says, âThe director has aimed for a story that no one could have predicted. Most people should be surprised by the development of the story.â John Boyega (who plays Finn) says, putting weight into his words, that, âEverything starts moving backwards. It starts going opposite to what everyone thought after seeing âThe Force Awakensâ.â
Looking back on the release of the previous instalment, it is the responsibility of all human beings to go to the theatre on the first day to avoid any spoilers but stillâŠ. is there somethingâŠ. even a littleâŠ. hintâŠ. For that reason, we hit up Adam Driver (who plays Kylo Ren) with some questions while he was here promoting the film!Â
Kylo Ren, who, together with Rey, seems to hold the key to this story quite tightly. What development awaits him in this instalment?
Driver: âThis instalment starts developing right after âThe Force Awakensâ so he has very little time to come to terms with everything that has just happened and he has to keep moving forward. The beliefs that he holds are going to be challenged. Whether itâs the dark side or the light side, it is impossible to lead a life and also to make choices that are completely without fault. That scene with Han Solo was a huge incident for him. Will his uncertainty and ambiguity cause him to fall further into the dark side or⊠Within this world in particular, there are many people who hold grey parts within themselves.â
Rian Johnson, both the writer and director of âThe Last Jediâ, a story which has often been described as âshockingâ throughout promotion. Driver himself said that he found Kylo Renâs fate âto be truly unexpectedâ.
Driver: âRian couldnât overlook the psychological side of Kylo Renâs reality, the fact that he killed his real father. I mean in terms of how is that going to effect him. Also, in a way, that truth makes the reality of the situation even more deep-rooted. Because it cannot be denied that that incident happened, he himself cannot ignore it, and actually, the truth makes his situation even more real. For me, that was really useful.â
Surprisingly this is the first time Driver is playing someone younger than himself. In terms of the development of the story, Kyloâs âyouthâ is very important. âIt is an underlying element of the script.â
Driver: âHis youthfulness is not lost in Rianâs script. Kylo Renâs ideas further take shape. Almost like a religious fever. And he wants to believe that he is doing the right thing. I think Darth Vader was a villain who was completely certain on which path he ought to take. Kylo Ren is a character who we get a glimpse at having both determination, uncertainty, and fragility, so yes, perhaps you could say he is a new type of âvillainâ within the world of [Star Wars]. Even now he is going through an inner battle within himself which continues to unfold. Above just playing the character, that part is very interesting to me, and I enjoy that.â
We are intrigued by Kyloâs connection to Rey, who seemed to be visually paralleled to him in all the trailers and postersâŠ.
Driver: âThis time Rey and Kylo Ren are the center of this huge developing drama. They stand on opposite sides, but the dividing line is very narrow, and within both of them they hold both light and darkness. They arenât actually that separate from one another, and in some way they may feel lonely but they are going through this journey together. For both of them, the other is pretty much the reverse of themselves.â
Again, more meaningful comments emerge and our imaginations run wild. However, we wonât have to wait long for those answers. We wait in anticipationâŠ
