Kylo Ren
Kylo Ren is a fictional character from the Star Wars sequel trilogy, the conflicted son of Han Solo and Leia Organa who turns to the dark side of the Force.
His name has become shorthand for brooding villainy with redemptive potential, or for dramatic angst: He's giving Kylo Ren energy with that cape and those tantrums.
