The Skywalker Saga is and has always been a family story. But I do think that complexity, the question of if the son of Han & Leia can be turned to the dark side can't any of us, what is it to be the kid of these heroes. - J. J. Abrams
For Rey, her connection with Kylo Ren. That is really the heart of the emotional story in this movie - J. J. Abrams

Adam Driver: [at the start] You find him at his most comfortable, like with the Knights of Ren before all those movies start, that's all he did was be a grunt guy so in a way that's where he's most at home. It's diplomacy he's always has trouble with.
Adam Driver: "I really liked playing someone who starts as a child & becomes a man."
