A new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker promotional banner has given us a fresh look at the mask that Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren wears in the movie.
Fans certainly remember when Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren destroyed his mask after being berated by Supreme Leader Snoke in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Since assuming the position of Supreme Leader, Kylo Ren has started wearing the mask again, rebuilding it with red bonding material to further add to the Sith aesthetic. In a brand new promo banner for the next Star Wars movie, Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren can be seen opposite his light-side counterpart Rey, played by Daisy Ridley.

Clearly, Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren is looking more sinister than ever in this brand new Star Wars image. The red cracks on the mask really add to the gloomy vibe that the crew is going for. They also further add to the theme of Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren struggling with his identity, constantly going back and forth in how he wants to be perceived and seen.
