Kylo Ren was a known follower of the dark side and said to continue what Darth Vader started, but reports claim that the member of the Knights of Ren will not be the main antagonist. Adam Driver, who plays the ally of the First Order, talked about his celebrated character.

According to People, the 32-year-old actor, who has been known for his boyfriend role on HBO's "Girls," promised to "finish" the Sith Lord's fight against the Jedi. "We didn't really have a lot of conversations about bad or evil, actually, when we were shooting it, it was more what do you think is the difference between being bad and being right, which I think is a huge difference," he said at the San Diego Comic-Con.

The stage performer also described that his character was actually "more evil" for being in a group who was known for being "morally justified" for fighting for their own beliefs. He said that Kylo Ren had that touch that made him less like a bad person.

Additionally, Entertainment Weekly reported the light and dark sides joined forces in one event as they attended a press conference in a secret venue on Sunday. The epic space movie franchise's screenwriter, Lawrence Kasdan, disclosed that a character like Kylo Ren has never been seen in the saga before.

"He doesn't have his s*** all together. You're getting all the contradictions and conflicts that people feel. That's what's unique about what Adam has done," the 66-year-old director said. Driver was then asked about Kylo Ren as one of "Star Wars" known villains.

The television personality then revealed that they weren't thinking of Kylo Ren's character as an antagonist or having the bad, evil or the "villain" persona, but said that he's something more like a "three-dimensional" personality. He added that he's actually more dangerous and unpredictable by morally justifying things he considered to be right. 

The filmmaker added that the costume of Kylo Ren was one of the hardest to create, as it went through a number of changes, which eventually ended in a "chrome-plated armor" like Captain Pharma's.

Meanwhile, Metro News added that, according to fan-made theory, the characters of Rey, played by Daisy Ridley, and Kylo Ren will have a fight as seen on their promotional poster and that they went head-to-head.

In fact, Harrison Ford, who played Han Solo, fueled the said speculation as he dropped a major spoiler on Twitter. The 73-year-old award-winning actor was asked what his favorite scene was on the upcoming seventh installment in an official Star Wars chat on Friday.

He tweeted: "The sword fight with Rey and Kilo Ren. Fantastic visual storytelling." Hence, the Twitter world went hullabaloo.

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is set to be released on Dec. 18 in the U.S.
