I will gladly admit that I am a full-fledged “Star Wars” nerd. I have seen all the movies (yes, even the prequels) more times than I can count. I grew up watching the original trilogy with my dad and Luke Skywalker was my first celebrity crush.

However, when I heard of “The Force Awakens,” I was worried. So, after going back and forth about whether or not to see it, I finally did.

I was happily surprised how the new actors performed alongside my childhood heroes. But, there was one character that quickly became my least favorite fictional character of all time and his name is Kylo Ren.

On the way home from the movie, I ranted about how whiny Kylo is throughout the entirety of the film. While I have come to adore Adam Driver who portrays the temper-tantrum-throwing baddie, Kylo is more annoying than terrifying.

If his emotional instability was not enough, he delivers one of the more devastating blows ever delivered in the “Star Wars” franchise. For those of you who have yet to see the film, I will not spoil anything!

Kylo is more of a temperamental teen than a villain worthy to fill Darth Vader’s stead.

I get it. Being a Jedi prodigy would be extremely stressful, especially when your uncle is Luke Skywalker, but this kid rivals Anakin from the prequels on the whine-meter.

Sure Vader was not the poster child of anger management, but he did not go thrash his lightsaber around when things did not go his way. You could argue both characters suffer from major flaws, but Kylo seems a lot more damaged than Vader ever was.

Not only does this kid have emotional issues, but he is super duper obsessed with Darth Vader. Way to pick an idol, kiddo!

Why not look up to your Uncle Luke or your dad, Han Solo?

If you want to look up to your grandpappy for anything it should be exactly what not to do. He is determined to “finish what he started”, alluding to Vader.

In the process, he ostracizes himself from a family that loves him and a cause worthy of his abilities.

He is so obsessed that he wears a helmet that mirrors his grandfather’s, which somehow when removed miraculously grants the wearer flowing locks instead of sweaty helmet hair, and even has tête-à-têtes with Vader’s melted helmet. Creepy, right?

And then there is the act Kylo does in the film that, for me, seals the deal of despising his guts. I never wanted to reach into a movie and slap a character repeatedly across the face so badly until that very moment.

I applaud you Kylo for making me cry and plan your murder all at once!

Despite my clear distaste for Mr. Ren, I am open to other people’s opinion on the character.

One person I shared my opinion with said that Kylo is presented with a very heavy choice, the light or dark side. That is a lot of pressure in the “Star Wars” universe.

It is like choosing what you want to do senior year of high school. Sure, you do not get cool lightsabers or Force abilities, but you have to take everything into careful consideration. Not only does your choice affect you, but everyone around you.

Maybe Kylo is just lost and all he needs is to be found by the right person. While I am not his number one fan, I am interested to see where Kylo goes from here.
