Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Do you think all that mess could have been avoided if the Solos had just enrolled their abnormally intense child Ben into a few drama classes?

Then Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Kylo Ren could have channeled all those father issues and millennial angst into "Hasta la vista"-ing Han Solo's carbonite or just screaming "THIS. IS. SPARTA!" into the welcoming abyss.

Darren Wallace's video edit imagines Adam Driver's scene-stealing villain taking centre stage in some of Hollywood's most classic productions, from Back to the Future to Pulp Fiction; proving all that pent-up anger probably could have had a better release than smashing up every single one of the Starkiller base's control boards.

Kylo Ren's really proving he's got what it takes to become a true pop culture icon; spawning hilarious parody Twitter accounts, Calvin and Hobbes art mash-ups, and even seeing Driver himself poke fun at the character on his recent stint on Saturday Night Live.

We'll have a while to wait until Kylo Ren makes his next move on the big screen, though; Star Wars: Episode VIII hits UK cinemas 15 December 2017.
