Dont expectKylo Rens journeyinStar Wars:The Rise of Skywalkerto follow the exact same trajectory as Anakin Skywalker.
What does he have to be redeemed for?
Lets see: Kylo killed his father, Han Solo.

He hunted down the last of the Jedi and killed them off.
He destroyed several entire planets with Starkiller Base.
And just generally, Kylos been a rather humorless emo leader of a fascist movement.
But as an actor, Driver sees things more from his characters perspective.
[Kylo Ren] has a different identity, a different definition of what redemption is, Driver says.
Hes already been redeemed in his story.
I dont think there is a thought of redemption.
He doesnt have an outside lens of the events, you know you know what I mean?
Thats more of an outsiders view of his world.
For his part, Driver rejects any labelsfor the Rey-Kylo relationship.
I dont think its all one thing, he says.
Part of the fun of playing it is the boundaries of it keep changing.
At times its more intimate, sometimes less intimate.
And then its, obviously, adversarial.
The Rise of Skywalkeropens Dec. 20.
