Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi
Domnhall Gleeson ’s General Hux might be completely loyal to the First Order inStar Wars : The Last Jedibut he ’s not entirely comfortable with its leaders who survey the Dark Side of the Force and their power . Though GeneralHux has n’t been have much in the marketingforThe Last Jedi , he did survive the destruction of Starkiller Base at the terminal ofThe Force Awakens . Thus , Hux will still be around to result the First Order and bark order inThe Last Jedi .
Hux will play a comparatively meaning function inThe Last Jedi , even if turns out to be relatively small-scale in the grand scale of thing . Episode VIIIwill piece up on many of the plot threadsfromForce Awakens ; as far as Hux is concerned , that entail exploring his family relationship with Kylo Ren ( Adam Driver ) . Although the two characters are on the same side polticially , there ’s a deep personal contention between them , asThe Last Jediwill further see .

utter withScreen Rant , Domnhall Gleeson explained Hux ’s family relationship with Kylo and how the General view the Dark Side drug user :
They ’ve always seemed to be adversarial , you have a go at it ? I think Hux wants to be at the top and he wants to get the top from Snoke and he knows that Kylo Ren ’s probably in a better status to get that . So I think this fear and hate , I think he ’s a bit gross out out by all the magic poppycock . I think that ’s where he ’s out with him you , cognise now ?
The perceptivity that Kylo and Hux will be at odds in all probability is n’t especially surprising to anyone that has watchedForce Awakenswith a near eye . Although Hux and Kylo Ren are never openly antagonistic towards each other , there is a mysterious and underlying horse sense of tension and hate between them during the movie , even for those close-fitting to the Dark Side . However , it is Gleeson ’s view of Hux ’s relationship with Snoke and the Force that are incredibly interesting ideas to ponder in the build - up toThe Last Jedi .
Mainly , it crystallise some of the antecedently unknown great power struggles and political sympathies within the First Order . While it was always obvious that Snoke was in command , Force Awakensnever really made clearwhether Hux or Kylo Ren was second - in - control . Evidently that ambiguity will carry on to play out throughoutThe Last Jedi . That is a potentially fascinating way to go , particularly becauseStar Warshas rarely research the idea of a tycoon struggle within the villains where only one of them can beg into the Force .
The moral force between the Sith , especially between prentice and master , has been well explored but not between those who are n’t Force Sensitive and those align with the Dark Side . It ’s a conflict that has played out in the cartoon strip and other extended universe novel and TV series , both presently in canyon and inStar war : legend , but it has yet to really make the jump to the big screen Skywalker Saga . It sounds as though that will convert withStar war : The Last Jedi .
