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.

As a commander of the First Order, Kylo Ren is feared by most of the universe, with his threatening lightsaber and deadly command of The Force showing off his raw and uncontrolled power.

However, he often forgets about the normal, everyday Stormtroopers he commands, using them as cannon fodder without thinking about the lives at stake.

Luckily, the Knight of Ren was happy to take part in Undercover Boss, pretending to be a normal repair man called Matt while helping out fellow workers on the Starkiller base. Watch below.

Unfortunately, this isn’t Star Wars canon. The sketch was part of Saturday Night Live, hosted by Adam Driver who seemed more than happy to take the Mickey out of Star Wars: The Force Awakens character.

Starring alongside him in the film are Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Oscar Isaac, as well as returning star Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher.

In other Star Wars news, The Force Awakens director JJ Abrams has responded to fans who accused him of ‘ripping off’ A New Hope, while the novelisation fills in many of the plot holes.
