Several of these lines have made it into daily conversation here at our house. Especially the muffin bit.

I didn't watch the show because I hadn't seen the movie yet, but now I have! Yay for cultural literacy!

Jack Karaoke, the reason I didn't share the original is that I'm living in Canada and the original video is geo-blocked. But if I'm breaking a community standard/rule, then a moderator should go ahead and swap the links. Apologies.

Here's the thing; I get that maybe they're setting Kylo Ren up for some sort of arc (whether it be redemptive or he learns to harness his powers/impulse control and becomes a suitably badass foil for Rey), but why would Snoke (or whoever) put this guy in a military command position when he's clearly not ready for it? IIRC the movie ends with Snoke saying it's time for Ren to finish his training, so he could have been a part of the First Order command structure without being in a position where he's undermining military discipline with his temper tantrums. Even Vader was originally taking orders from higher ups who weren't the Emperor in the first movie.
Anyway, none of this takes away from how funny this skit and the outtakes are.

I bet it's just to experience the hilarious juxtaposition when kylo takes of his big baddie respirator and suddenly sounds like a 14-year-old insecure boy.
Also, the movie was kinda mediocre. There I said it.
Besides, Ken Loach's Star Wars is sooo much better.

On the job training plus having to appease a primadona, I guess - it's not like powerful Force users with Vader genes grow on trees. He doesn't have complete command either, he's more or less on the same level with Space Nazi Whose Name Escapes Me At The Moment. Snopes might not be *that* powerful, maybe he's afraid he wouldn't be able to go head to head with Kylo and win and prefers a more subtle approach.

I got the sense that he wasn't in overall command of the project. He could certainly give orders to troops and was in charge of the task force to catch Poe or hunt down Skywalker or whatever, but it seemed pretty clear to me that his authority had limits.

Most everyone in the First Order seems to be well under the age of 35. With a personnel pool that raw, command qualifications for just about any position will amount to two or three years of seniority. ("You must be THIS tall to captain a Star Destroyer.")
Consider that at one point Spoke addresses Kylo as the "Master of the Knights of Ren." Presumably that means Kylo is the most mature force user in the entire corps.

And yet they built that organization up from...well, not scratch, but from the ashes of the Empire, which speaks to a certain level of focus and discipline. Anyway, it's just a movie, etc.

the Knights of Ren is actually the name of Kylo's DnD group. They meet every Thursday in the canteen, they're pretty cool guys once you get to know them

Notice that Ren (like Vader before him), is not given command of the troops directly. He's a Somebody who can order people around, but chain of command goes to Hux. Snoke isn't stupid enough to make Ren actually responsible for anything important.

Kylo Ren is everybody's high school crush, including mine. (I had a boyfriend who straight-up believed in the Force, and that he had powers.) He is awful and terrible and handsome and I enjoy him so much.

But NOT The Apprentice, please... in a few years, The Kylo would be running for Emperor and leading in the polls.
One more thing: I can't hear "Knights of Ren" without thinking of this. Still, he's not the only new character in that movie named after a toon.

Kylo Ren on The Great British Baking Show, using a lightsaber to brown a brulee.
I was just having a conversation yesterday about wishing we'd seen some more of people using lightsabers as basic survival tools. Obviously Han uses one as a handy-dandy tauntaun slicer, but the possibilities are many. Cutting ice blocks to make an igloo (which maybe Han does offscreen to make the snow shelter), boiling water, lighting your way in the dark, starting a fire, broiling meat (you could use the force to rotate the saber around a carcass, perhaps?) - it's such a potentially handy tool with many more applications than limb-removal.
