17 WTF Moments From Star Wars: The Force Awakens

13. Kylo Ren's Voice Is Faked As A Darth Vader Tribute

The trailers only gave us a brief snippet of dialogue from Kylo Ren, but made it clear that his voice was distorted and deep in a way similar to Darth Vader's, clearly engineered by the mask he is wearing. However, in Kylo's case it isn't at all a necessity, but simply an affectation he has contrived because he's essentially a Vader fanboy. When Kylo takes the mask off the first time mid-way through the film as he talks to Rey, his regular speaking voice is fairly soft and non-menacing. This might disappoint some, but it only emphasises how much Kylo worships Vader, and is a pleasant diversion from just another bad guy with some traumatic injuries.
