Kylo Ren's SNL Alter Ego Matt The Radar Technician Gets His Own Action Figure

It may be more than a week since Adam Driver hosted Saturday Night Live, but fans simply cannot get enough of the skit that parodied Undercover Boss featuring his Star Wars: The Force Awakens character Kylo Ren taking on the persona of Matt the Radar Technician. The temperamental tech with the bad wig is turning out to be as popular as Darth Vader's grandson as he gets not just one, but three different action figures of his own!

The fan-made Matt the Radar Tech action figures were created by Live For Films, Jawa Swap Meet and Scott Tolleson in collaboration with 2BitHack. While the first two both feature Matt with Kylo Ren's signature crossguard lightsaber (which he had tossed around in the SNL skit), the third one only features the action figure and even boasts that "This is definitely not a Kylo Ren action figure."

So what is with the sudden interest in Matt? It may have a lot to do with brilliant skit that showcased the talent of SNL's Tarran Killam and Bobby Moynihan as well as the hilarious Leslie Jones, who holds her own against Driver's Matt in the recently released outtakes from the skit.

Before he played the villain in The Force Awakens (and hosted SNL), Driver is best known for his performance in the HBO series Girls. He has also shown off his comedic timing in the Daniel Radcliffe romantic comedy What If with Zoe Kazan.

But will Driver return as Kylo Ren in Star Wars Episode VIII? It has previously been reported that director Rian Johnson has decided to rewrite the script for the sequel to give bigger roles to Daisy Ridley's Rey and John Boyega's Finn, however there was no mention on whether the villain will be part of the film. Here's hoping that the rewrite will finally reveal more about Kylo and maybe even show us a glimpse of Matt.
