Adam on his character arc in the Star Wars franchise
Adam had talked about his character Kylo Ren last month on The Rich Eisen Show. He said that his character's arc altered from the original plan over the course of his three films which were The Force Awakens (2015), The Last Jedi (2017) and The Rise of Skywalker (2019). "This character was the most confused and vulnerable, and by the end of the three movies, he would be the most committed to the dark side... The last one, it changed into being, you know, about them and the dyad, and things like that. And evolving into Ben Solo. That was never a part of it. He was Ben Solo from the beginning, but there was never a version where we’d see Ben Solo when I first signed up for it," he said.
