Kylo Ren
Kylo Ren, also known as Ben Solo, is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. He commands the First Order with a temper as fiery as his unconventional lightsaber.

A great villain. Not as much of a badass as Darth Vader, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing.
Aside from the menacing costume and new lightsaber, it's a different approach to being a villain. He isn't just a bad guy with no depth - he is a character who is menacing but also afraid of turning to the light side. Seeing a human side of a villain is something we don't often get in films.
Adam Driver killed it as Kylo Ren.
He is a young version of Darth Vader and was trained by the most powerful Jedi, Luke Skywalker.
Did I mention that his lightsaber is really cool?

Great character. Daisy Ridley did a great job as Rey.
Other than the performance, the character herself is just awesome. She's kind, she's crafty, and she kicks ass. Some people think she is too perfect, but Luke and Anakin also performed amazing things due to their Force powers.
Something I loved about her character is how she was afraid. Anakin and Luke were confident and excited to become Jedi. Rey didn't embrace her destiny - she ran from it. This showed weakness within her character and gave her slightly more depth than past Star Wars protagonists.
It's also great to finally have a female Jedi in the movies.
Rey is incredible. Her story fascinated me. As a child, she was left on Jakku and survived on her own until age 19, when she left with Finn and the Millennium Falcon. She is a great pilot, even though no one taught her. She constantly proves that she can be better than someone else, especially the guys.
She left without her parents ever returning and started fighting alongside the Resistance. She also faced personal lows, like when Finn tried to leave. I think she does like him, either as a friend or maybe as something more, but I'm not sure.
Later, she is kidnapped by Ren but escapes on her own. Minutes later, she watches Han Solo die and is devastated. Then Finn falls into a coma, and she has to fight Ren and get away. She leaves Finn again, but when she whispers, "We'll see each other again. I feel it. Thank you, my friend," as she kisses him on the forehead, I think she really likes him. Maybe there's more to come.
I love her. She's a cool character, and as I said, she fascinates me.

I can't believe they made Rey more powerful than Finn, and it was all just because of feminazi stuff (from what I heard, I could be wrong).
Finn had a reason to get pissed at Kylo Ren, and honestly, I think the ending would have been a LOT better if Finn fought and defeated Ren.
