Adam Driver hosted Saturday Night Live this weekend, which came on later than normal due to football, but actually ended up being one of the better episodes of the season. With Driver fresh off the immense success of STAR WARS: EPISODE VII – THE FORCE AWAKENS, it stands to reason a STAR WARS sketch would seem like an obvious inclusion, and the writers did not disappoint. The hook on this was the popular reality show UNDERCOVER BOSS, in which a big company CEO goes undercover to work with simple employees, gaining an understanding of what they have to put up with, and usually ending with the CEO revealing themselves and rewarding the best of the low level work pool. So SNL decided to have this scenario set on Starkiller Base, the Death Star-like installation shown in THE FORCE AWAKENS, and Adam once again played Kylo Ren only this time going undercover on the base… and the results are pretty fun. I appreciated a lot of the little touches on display here, such as set design elements, clothing and costumes being pretty dead on, and even the exact Kylo Ren voice being used when Driver is shown in costume. If you liked the new movie, you should get a kick out of this.
