The home media release for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is only a few days away and some clips have already surfaced to tease its bonus content. Fans already got a glimpse of how the crew filmed Leia's scenes as well as the creation of the Resistance fleet from the movie's ending, now, a new featurette spotlights Adam Driver's training as Kylo Ren.
In a clip released by IGN from The Skywalker Legacy documentary, Driver is seen performing his stunts for the film whilst stunt coordinator Eunice Huthart is giving directions. Huthart says Driver is adamant about doing the stunts himself and how the actor is always in character even in rehearsals. He sometimes even rejects a particular direction, because Driver believes that Kylo Ren wouldn't react a certain way in a particular situation.
Later in the clip, Driver says he's "very protective" over the "physicality" of Kylo Ren, which is why he wanted to do "all of the things" the character needs in the movie. You can check it out below.
Driver's performance as Kylo Ren throughout the sequel trilogy has truly been one of the standout elements. Fans loved his take on the character and it is unfortunate that they wouldn't be able to see more of him as Ben Solo. Driver revealed in a previous interview that him returning isn't "at all on the agenda." The experience will "forever remain" as one of the "highlights" of his career, but he aspires to do other adventures.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will be out on digital on March 17 and Blu-ray on March 31.
