They (Han and Leia) had this kid who was born equal parts good and evil. He is someone who is broken….But it’s more than just having a bad seed as a kid. Snoke had targeted this kid, knew that this kid was gonna be incredibly powerful in the force and wanted him as an ally. So this mother and father had a target for a son. Someone was watching their boy. And these parents aren’t there enough to guide him.~JJ Abrams, The Secrets of The Force Awakens.
“The center of this story is Rey and Kylo Ren. They stand on the opposite sides but the boundary is very thin. There are light and dark inside both of them. Actually, they are not far apart. They are the other side of each other.” – Adam Driver
Soon after, we exit the cafe, as Driver is heading home for some quiet time. He stops in front of a bycicle locked to a fence. “It only looks bourgeois-hipster because of the saddle”, Driver says, adding that he’s only just added the leather Brooks seat. “I bought the bike for $200 back when I was at Julliard”, Driver says. “Besides the seat, it’s the same crappy bike I’ve had forever.“ Driver pulls his hoodie up over his head and as he stars pedalling off turns back to me.“Remember”, he says. “Pretend you’re down to earth. People love that shit. Right?”
