Kylo isn't really meant to be intimidating. I like how he seems to grow into his role as the villain as the films progress. Interesting how for all the flack the sequel trilogy gets for re-hashing the original trilogy, the things it does differently tend to draw the most ire from fans. Although the new stuff TLJ introduces to the franchise feels forced and doesn't contribute much to me.

Never had much problem with The Force Awakens "re-hashing" A New Hope anyway. It isn't even really a re-hash, it just has lots of similar occurrences. The prequels weren't arguably any different, not to mention by this logic many action movies of the '90s were re-hashes of Die Hard. And it's hardly a plot Star Wars invented in the first place anyway!

Also a lot of sequel trilogy haters bring up MauLer, who seems to be to this trilogy what Mr. Pinkett was to the prequels. I've tried watching his critique of The Force Awakens and am 15 minutes into part 2 - and uh, I think he makes some good points about how the film runs on plot contrivances to make it similar to A New Hope, but that information could have been conveyed in A LOT less time. Not to mention I swear he's a robot.
