Last night, one of its stars, Adam Driver (Inside Llewyn Davis, While We're Young), who played the hot-headed villain Kylo Ren a.k.a. Ben Solo in the latest installment, paid a visit to Studio 8H to show off his comedy chops by hosting his first episode of NBC's long-running sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live.

Okay, undercover boss on Starkiller Base was awesome! Kylo Ren was a fantastic villain, despite what some people have been saying. His character wasn't just a 2 dimensional evil guy for the sake of being evil, his actions had purpose and meaning to them.



Yes, he did have a bit of confusion between good and evil but it was that conflict that made ***SPOILER*** killing Han all the more interesting and impactful.

Adam Driver playing Kylo Ren makes this skit canon.

I didn't know they had CBS in the galaxy. Adam Driver was really funny. He's talented. I so <3 Cecily Strong.

That would be funny if reprising their roles outside of the films automatically made the event part of the film timeline. It would make the STAR WARS Christmas special canon. Just think, at some point, Luke met Kermit the frog in his Bespin fatigues.

The Golden Globes one was a great idea, but I don't think they really took it far enough. Something and the execution was a little off. Driver was really good though - he's got serious chops.

Undercover Ren was solid. No disturbance in the force with that skit.

Undercover boss was perfect!

I think Driver is a great choice. Very unstable and dangerous at the same time.

BTW when ep. VIII is out I'm pretty sure he'll be much more of a mature, powerful force-user. In TFA he was just a dark-side ep IV Luke.
