Yup, Mr. Ramondelli is a real powerhouse in the art world!



I think that's the intent though, Ren is well and truly unbalanced. He's a fledgeling Sith, which is probably why Snoke has such interest in preening and perfecting him. The bitterness he feels in defeat at the end of the movie will likely give the Supreme Leader just the mixture of ingredients to make a perfect Sith- he's already got the "family trauma" and "massacre of fellow Jedi" parts down. Let's not forget that Vader was an arrogant young man as Anakin Skywalker, the aftermath of his defeat at Obi-Wan's hands is what led to him really hitting his evil stride!



Vader is a lot to live up to! That's probably part of what will set him apart from Vader as a villain though, Ren's envy and feelings of inadequacy, the idea that he has something to prove through surpassing others. Alternatively, Vader was driven by loss and hate. He saw certain people(Tusken Raiders, The Jedi, Obi-Wan) as responsible for his own personal tragedies and took out his fury on them accordingly. While Vader had people to hate and destroy, Kylo Ren has people he sees as obstacles for him to surpass, the first of which being his father Han Solo.
