Kylo Renhas an official backstory , which involve him being shipped off to Luke ’s Jedi Academy , his angst and foiling at trying to dwell up to hislarge bequest , and more than a piddling second of big Dark Side intervention from the villain of the Star Wars sequel trilogy .

For Driver , that mean suppose Kylo Ren ’s nurture . And it was n’t a great one .

“ This is actually something Adam Driver say , ” Grossman said . “ He said that both Han Solo and Leia were way too self - take in and into this idea of themselves as heroes to really be attentive parents in the path a untested and bid Kylo Ren really needed . There was n’t really that much of it in the movie so I just think we have to assume his childhood take up . ”

But as Driver envisioned it , their failings were less sympathetic and more just , well , bad parenting . Kylo Ren , in this frame , is ghost with bequest because possibly his family always was , too . And him being embark off to Luke was perhaps less an expression of trouble about his dark impulses and more an abdication of responsibility from the two people he needed most . It ’s a subtle emotional soil and is a part of why Driver ’s playacting is probable as subtle as it is , even when the movies around him are as broad as can possibly be .
