Imagining Adam Driver making those noises, whether they were captured on camera or not, still makes Star Wars just a little more enjoyable.
Also, did this moment from The Rise of Skywalker come from the same sort of childhood glee that saw Adam Driver making his own lightsaber noises?
Which of course has us wondering about two things: did the urge to make such noises grow as Driver’s Kylo became more of his Ben Solo self?
With the redemption arc Kylo Ren engaged in throughout the Skywalker Saga’s sequel trilogy, whether his character needed or not, Adam Driver’s performance did lighten up, both in tone and in deed.
