STAR WARS: TFA's Adam Driver Channels His Inner Emo 'Kylo Ren' For Fun SNL Promos

The massively talented Adam Driver is going to be hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend, but what does Ghostbusters lead Kate McKinnon do to make the Star Wars: The Force Awakens actor ignite that iconic crossguard lightsaber? Hit the jump to check them out...

Adam Driver has been impressing critics and audiences since Girls, but Star Wars: The Force Awakens is no doubt the movie which is going to take his career to the next level. As the emotionally complex Kylo Ren, the actor impressed in a major way, and he's lined up a gig as the host of Saturday Night Live this weekend. The promos below are pretty funny, and there's a very cool nod to the villainous character he plays in a Galaxy Far, Far Away (how cool is it that he ignites that lightsaber the exact same way as Kylo would? It's all in the wrist...). It'll be fun to see how much they poke fun of Star Wars when he hosts as you just know they'll mention THAT scene.

Kylo Ren was supposed to be the way he was, it was intentional and it sets up a great character arc, and guess what? You have to wait a few years to watch it play out, but by all means throw the temper tantrums now.

You gotta start him out in a different place than where he will end up. So he starts out being vulnerable, anyone remember another bratty character mouthing off to solo about how to fly and whining about toshi station? Yeah, luke, then they turned him into a badass and the payoff felt earned by the end of the trilogy. Kylo is just going through his own twisted flip of the heroes journey.

What did you haters want want, some insta-ready hot pocket microwaveable villain? Yes, yes you did, sorry they gave you something a bit more complex now eat your vegetables and sit quietly until the trilogy is over and their whole story is told. Be positive about the possibilities instead of being negative that everything wasn't spoon fed to you in the first movie.

After the massive disappointments that were the prequels, I might be skewed in my opinions regarding TFA and it's new cast, but I [frick]ing loved every one of them. Should Starkillers have been missiles that blew up suns rather than a 3rd [frick]ing deathstar? Abso-[frick]ing-lutely. But as far as all the other beats, the cast, and characters, not a complaint from me. I walked out of the theater more satisfied than irked, and rate TFA up there with the originals (okay, I rank it 3rd, after episodes V, then IV, I hate ewoks).

I've been saying since he was scheduled to host that they should try to bring on Harrison Ford for one skit. They could replicate the scene between Han Solo and Kylo Ren, only with Ford begging Kylo Ren to kill him and free him from Star Wars. Kylo Ren refuses. Han Solo grabs the lightsaber and ignites it, after a brief struggle, then falls down the shaft with a smile on his face.
