‘The Force Awakens’ Title Referred To Both Kylo Ren And Rey, Confirms Adam Driver

That self-doubt will likely continue into The Last Jedi. The trailer for the film has already hinted at the warring sides of the Force playing hell on both Kylo Ren and Rey, leading to some fan theories that the two might join forces, or even switch sides – with Rey going to the dark side, and Kylo Ren moving more towards the light. Of course, one could argue that it’s probably going to be hard for Kylo Ren to come back to the light side since he murdered his father in cold blood in the last movie. Either way, Kylo Ren’s struggles with the dark side will continue on beyond The Last Jedi into Episode IX, since it would be a bit premature to end that arc in the second film of the new trilogy. We’ll know for sure when Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits theaters December 15, 2017.

“We find Darth Vader already completely committed; I was curious about starting with someone who was less together, who was starting in a place of self-doubt. The title of The Force Awakens wasn’t just referring to the light side, it was the dark side as well.”
