Technically called Emo Kylo Ren, the account parodies the performance in the film of actor Adam Driver. It takes fans back to what little Kylo Ren was as a child.
Kylo Ren is the son of Han Solo and Princess Leia–played by Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher, for those who don’t follow Star Wars.
The Emo Kylo Ren Twitter account features some hilarious posts.
