Undercover Boss: Starkiller Base



Undercover Boss is a reality show in which some CEO disguises himself as an entry-level worker to see how things go at the lowest level of the company. In the real show, they get away with it because none of the low-level workers know the CEO, and often have never even seen them. It’s a bit different when you set it in the Star Wars universe.

In January of 2016, Adam Driver hosted SNL and reprised his role as Kylo Ren in The Force Awakens to go undercover and check out not how the Starkiller Base workers did their jobs, but what they thought of him. That’s in keeping with the egocentric character who’s not yet a competent commander, despite his rank. The skit became a classic, and Driver later did a second episode. (via reddit)
