Kylo Ren Goes Kevin Bacon in Our STAR WARS/FOOTLOOSE Mash-up “Forceloose”

Sometimes it can feel like your whole family, and even the entire galaxy, is against you, working to stop you from fulfilling your destiny. So how can a young Knight of Ren express himself when he’s feeling confused by the endless combat of the Light and Dark within him? His first order of business: dance! After all, you can’t hide your Dark Side when you let your anger flow into some sick dance moves.

Nerdist Presents brings you “Forceloose,” the Star Wars/Footloose crossover you’ve always been waiting for even if you didn’t know it. Watch as Kylo Ren channels his inner 1984 Kevin Bacon by working through his anger issues while busting a groove through the surprisingly empty lower levels of a Star Destroyer.

Not to go all Reverend Moore on Ben Solo here, but there’s a reason the Republic passed a “No Dancing with a Lightsaber” ordinance. It’s extremely dangerous, especially when you still aren’t over that whole “I just killed my father” incident.

What’s truly amazing, though, is that somehow Kylo Ren is far less ridiculous-looking than Ren McCormack was doing the exact same thing in Footloose.

Remember, when you feel it in your heart, they can keep you from the girl of your dreams, and they can destroy your Starkiller Base, but the one thing they can never, never, ever do is stop you from dancing.

Are there any other Kevin Bacon characters that would make for a great Star Wars crossover? Never, never, ever hide your best ideas from us, share them in the comments below.
