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.
