According to The Force Awakens costume designer,I don't know if it was the kind of spaghetti type lines on it or what, but the next time J.J. Came by that was what we presented to him and he loved it. Also the silver in those lines kind of reflects and changes color with the action.

You know, if he's standing in front of fire you see that, so it almost brings you into the mask.Driver's casting in the film in an unnamed role was first announced on April 29, 2014.

Abrams explained, 'I think that what makes Ren so unique is that he isn't as fully formed as when we meet a character such as Darth Vader. He is not your prototypical mustache-twirling bad guy.

He is a little bit more complex than that.' Driver said in December 2015 that, despite the visual similarities to Darth Vader, Ren is 'unlike any villain the franchise has seen'. He explained:I feel there's a recklessness about him that's maybe not normally associated with the Dark Side. You normally think of order, and structure, and full commitment and no hesitation. He's just a little bit more unpolished. It's in his costume, in his lightsaber—how you kind of get the sense that it could just not work at any moment; that it could just blow up. That’s kind of like a big metaphor for him.

Terri Schwartz of also called Driver's performance 'spectacular', noting that 'his performance adds great depth to a character who could have come off as one-dimensional, and the implications of his arc leave a viewer with plenty to think about after they leave the theater.' Collin wrote, 'To describe Kylo Ren as this film's Vader would be accurate in a sense. But it would also be to undersell the deep ingenuity with which this astonishing character has been crafted by Abrams, Kasdan and Arndt, and also the wells of emotional tumult Driver invests in him.' Comparing the character to the one-note Vader of the 1977 film, Melissa Leon calls Ren 'a living battleground between darkness and light, making him a far more resonant and familiar portrayal of that struggle than we've ever seen in Star Wars. which makes him a far more interesting villain.' Abrams told Entertainment Weekly, 'it was a great joy to work with Adam Driver on this role, because he threw himself into it in a deep and remarkable way.'

Todd McCarthy of noted, 'Ren is given a pronounced, a clever bad guy twist that could be taken to interesting places both in the writing and performance.'

Kyle Buchanan of was underwhelmed by the reveal of Driver under the mask.

Leon, however, argued:But that face—that of a normal, vulnerable young man—is the most subversively terrifying thing about J. J. Abrams' reimagining of A New Hope. Rather than pure evil, Ren is something far more familiar: He is human. Just like the real-life young men with minds clouded by fear, hate, and anger who commit unspeakable acts in our world every day. All the visual cues that leave the character open to criticisms of not being 'evil' enough—are all signs of Ren's struggle between the Dark Side and the Light.Some viewers noted that Ren's shares similarities with that of the character, the son of Han Solo and Princess Leia who threatens the galaxy as a fallen Jedi.
