Interview Revelations: "Hidden princess" and "the relationship between Rey and Kylo" and more golden quotes discussion

Panic about AD getting into trouble (because if Rey was indeed a Princess, it was defiintely not planned/approved by LFL to leak it like that 2 months before the movie comes out).

I am not at all worried about Reylo not happening   I was confident since I came out of watching TFA. Though I confess the long wait with LFL keeping their cards so close to their chest for 2 years and constanly seeing comments by Anti-Reylos saying how this is unthinkable, made me have the tiniest of doubts. But since the teaser poster came out (with only Rey Kylo and Luke on it, confirming they are the main story here), my doubts disappeared. The only way I could be more certain, is if I could telepathetcially read KK's mind.

So it was taken out of context, it is not a spoiler about Rey, and Adam is safe!

I agree with what all of you are saying about the 'journalist' who wrote this. And I am quite angry at him because he caused me 24hrs of unnecessary panic ...  But now all is good it seems.

It also seems to me from what you have all been saying, that it is possible Pablo (and LFL) had not read (and pre-approved) the interview as it was written. So likely Pablo also had no context initially.

@LesCousinsDangereux

Panic about what? Princess Rey is a win for Rey Palpatine theory. Doesn't affect us.

So he's Princess Snow (Yuki)... pair that up with your avatar.

"Adam was always pushing the context of the character. He's put in this unhealthy environment and goes through the worst of youth, the selfishness and volatility, he's representing that side of adolescence." - Rian Johnson

"It makes complete sense how juvenile he can be. You can see that with our leadership and politics. You have world leaders who you imagine--or hope and pray--are living by kind of a higher code of ethics. But it really comes down to them feeling wronged or unloved or wanting validation. [...] We talked about terrorism a lot. You have young and deeply committed people with one-sided education who think in absolutes. That is more dangerous than being evil. Kylo thinks what he's doing is entirely right, and that, in my mind, is the scariest part." - Adam

Adam confirms my theory that Kylo was based on radicalized youths. I don't think anyone's ever directly stated it before.

@FrolickingFizzgig

I feel like I saw something where Adam Driver did refer to terrorism.  It was a small interview setting.  Maybe the back and forth he had with Michael Shannon.  KK definitely implied radicalized behavior at the end of that whole "bad actions in our world are not necessarily bad things in SW world" (paraphrase).  But definitely nothing as broad as British GQ.

@SoloSideCousin Yeah KK was pretty direct about it awhile ago. 

"One of the most interesting aspects of Kylo Ren is his young age. Most of the time, villains are damaged, troubled and older. Making the new Star Wars villain a 30 years old man was a captivating choice. We could take advantage from a troubled adolescence and a past we know very little about. There we could find this tension between light and dark which dominates all the Star Wars universe. We could use it as a metaphor for the path that leads a young adult to his accomplished adult life. The characters who can be drawn to the dark side and seduced by all sorts of experiences that might be dangerous are compelling for us. For today’s audience it’s an original, fascinating and appealing character.


When we look at our own lives, it all depends on the choices we’ve made. Kylo Ren seems to have taken many bad decisions, but they aren’t necessarily bad decisions within the context of Star Wars, where they can lead to almost anything. This story reflects the real world. Many kids evolve in a political environment that can be difficult to decipher, and many events suggest that people are drawn to danger, trouble and agitation. In terms of international policy, there’s a sense that we live a time full of upheavals. The political structure of the Star Wars narratives reflects this in a unique way. Kylo Ren represents this dark side of society that can be appealing when we don’t know which side to choose and right and wrong become very vague concepts. All these aspects make Kylo Ren a really complex character and offer us many different options for future plots.”

Do you think Adam is referring to the Vader revelation or something else? Almost being betrayed, that sounds strange A betrayal that was supposed to happen but didn't? Something else?

@snufkin

That would be interesting. Instead of helping him he made everything worse.
