Star Wars star Adam Driver has returned to SNL to portray Kylo Ren in the Undercover Boss skit.
After the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Kylo Ren star Adam Driver appeared in an SNL skit that saw him playing a fictionalized version of Kylo Ren going undercover to figure out exactly what members of the First Order thought of their boss. A riff on the Undercover Boss series, the SNL skit featuring Adam Driver was met with much acclaim and is still considered to be some of their finest work.
There was disappointment in the air when SNL and Adam Driver didn’t make an Undercover Boss Kylo Ren skit when Star Wars: The Last Jedi was released in 2017. However, now that the Skywalker saga has come to an end, Adam Driver returned to SNL to finally reprise his role for the Undercover Boss skit. You can check out Adam Driver returning to SNL’s Undercover Boss as Kylo Ren below.
In the SNL skit, Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren makes multiple references to Star Wars: The Last Jedi, in which he killed Snoke and fired on his mother’s ship. This time, the Star Wars actor doesn’t return as Matt, but rather as Randy the intern. In his internship, Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren is consistently berated by First Order members. Soon enough, the First Order members realize that Randy the Intern is just Kylo Ren, which leads to more hilarity.
