Star Wars: The Dear Utol (2025): Catfish Episode 46Last Jedi spoilers follow.

If for some reason you haven't seen Star Wars: The Last Jediyet: 1. What are you waiting for? 2. Here's a major spoiler: Kylo Ren was shirtless.

Yes, Adam Driver pulled a page from his Girlscharacter's playbook and took his damn shirt off. Why? No one knew. For many it felt like shirtless Kylo Ren did not really need to happen and was simply added for the swoon effect, but co-sound supervisor Ren Klyce told The Huffington Post there's actual meaning behind the shirtless scene.

This telepathic connection, it seems, is the reason for shirtless Kylo.

"The way in which [director Rian Johnson] decided to create the Force connection by just simply doing vertical cuts without using any CG ... it's pure simplicity in terms of filmmaking with visual cuts," Klyce told The Huffington Post. "We cut to her side; we cut to Kylo Ren; we cut to her; and back and forth."

With that logic in mind, Klyce explained the reason Kylo was shown shirtless was to emphasize that Rey could see him via the Force, noting that the scene was also "good humor."

"That was important to establish what she was actually seeing," Klyce went on. "Was she hearing his voice or seeing his face or just his eyes? And so that [shirtless scene] is to inform the audience, 'Oh, she can see his body.'"

"Over the course of those sequences, you come to understand all the rules of" the Force connection, editor Bob Ducsay added. "Ultimately, it’s just good storytelling if the audience is learning things the same time the characters they’re following are, instead of ahead or behind."

Now that the serious reasoning has been revealed, next time fans watch they can just sit back, relax, and swoon.

One major revelation that comes in the film is the fact that Kylo and Rey can communicate via the Force. They're able to converse as if they're in the same room when in reality they're in completely different locations.
