With all due apologies to the many YouTubers out there who post trailer reaction videos, especially those who did so for the new The Last Jedi trailer, the best of all of them is still Kylo Ren himself. Because nobody out there can offer the kind of insight into what is happening in the galaxy far, far away quite the way he can. And more importantly, nobody’s reactions come anywhere close to being as hilarious as his.
Just like when we he shared his reaction to the Rogue One trailer, and his subsequent review of the movie, the dad-killing Knight of Ren is back to give us his initial thoughts about the latest Star Wars trailer. Since the movie doesn’t come out until December, he doesn’t know exactly what it means since all of this is the “future” for him…despite all of this happening a long time ago. Look, we don’t understand how these timelines work either, but it makes for a much funnier reaction video this way.
See, we weren’t crazy. There is some serious misdirection going on here in this very misleading, “raw” trailer. Although, if future Kylo can smash his favorite helmet, maybe anything is possible.
Of course, this fantastic video (which I’ve now watched as many times as the actual trailer itself, which is a lot), comes from the great YouTube channel Auralnauts. We’re still hoping/begging they will someday have Kylo MST3K every Star Wars film, especially the prequels.
We know some others out there have already done it, but Kylo’s the best. Even if he’s the worst.
