The words "instant classic" are sometimes overused, but when it comes to SNL's Undercover Boss sketch with Kylo Ren, there's really no other description more suitable.

You know the one: It's the sketch that took Star Wars' newest villain and turned him into a bad wig-wearing dude named Matt. It's the sketch that's spawned hundreds of memes and fantastic works of fan art on Tumblr. (No joke; they're amazing.) It was one of the most GIFable moments of the season so far. One guy even got a tattoo of it.

And it's a sketch that was quite different than what you almost saw.

How? That and much more is revealed in the latest Inside the Sketch, a feature you're seeing only on Mashable.

This week, Bobby Moynihan, one of the sketch's co-writers and co-stars, answers some email queries about living the ultimate fanboy's dream come true, spills about the Easter eggs you may have missed, and takes us inside the making of Matt.

Warning: The following alludes to some spoilers for The Force Awakens (but seriously...)

MASHABLE: Did you all have to talk to Lucasfilm at all about using Kylo Ren? And how much pressure was there on you to make it awesome, knowing Star Wars fans were going to eat this up?

BOBBY MOYNIHAN: They sent us the Kylo Ren costume from the movie. I believe it was Adam's real costume. As far as pressure, Mikey [Day], Taran [Killam] and I are fans so we hold a certain standard to our selves. We want it be as accurate as possible. The set design and costume design guys always go so above and beyond because they that the fans and Taran and Mikey and I will go crazy if it's not right. But the crew crushed it on this one. They built and designed Starkiller Base in one day. We owe them a lot. Also, if you look closely there are a lot of little secret things for the fans throughout the sketch. My Stormtrroper character is listed as being in the "501st Legion" which is a shout out to the 501st Legion of Stormtroopers that dress up and go to Cons and do Charity work. In the background there are posters that say, "Keep Calm and Kill the Resistance." There's a bunch.

Getting to write a Kylo Ren sketch must've been a ridiculously fun thing to take on because there's so many different directions you can take that character. How did you all settle on framing it as Undercover Boss? Are either of you a secret fan of the show? Were there any other reality show options you all briefly entertained?

I pitched an idea to Mikey and Taran about Stormtrooper Janitors that have to clean up the mess after Han "Falls." No spoilers. We wrote that also, but in the middle of that one at like 5 a.m., Mikey just looked at us and said, "What about Kylo Ren-Undercover Boss?" We knew at that moment that was the way to go. We just got so excited about it. It just fit so perfectly into the SNL world of reality show parody's. We also wrote HOBBIT OFFICE last year so we are very intrigued by nerd mashups. Mikey has a brilliant mind for sketch writing, and it just poured out on the page. He's a smart funny dude. Mikey created Matt the Radar Technician, who I now consider cannon. As a fan, I am thankful to him.

What was the inspiration for Kylo's disguise in the sketch? It captured the ridiculousness of the real Undercover Boss costumes so well. And what was it like to don Star Wars costumes yourselves?

We just wanted him to look like he had a really shitty disguise. Some of those Undercover Boss disguises are just laughable. As far as getting to essentially cosplay as Star Wars characters? I would say we are not opposed. I alone have dressed as a Stormtrooper, Boba Fett, Darth Vader, Yoda, Leia and Slave Leia, George Lucas, and Danny Devito as BB-8. Taran's been a bunch, too. Mikey Day is the Stormtrooper in the Marvel sketch, and he's the guy who says, "Whaddup' Matt" and kicks his wrench. But for me, being a stormtrooper costume and having Adam Driver, in costume as Matt/Kylo hold his lightsaber near my throat and then force push me through a soda machine was one the best/coolest/nerdiest moments of my life.

What did Adam think of the sketch when you first told him? Did he improv any moments? And what was it like for you all — as fans — to see him channel that character right in front of you?

I think he dug it. He was so, so good at the process of SNL all week. But, he just nailed Matt. I think people love Matt so much because he commits so hard. I just kept saying in my head, "He's Kylo Ren." He is such a fun and interesting dude in real life, and then they say action and he becomes absolutely terrifying. I became a child around him. I am such a fan of his work as an actor. He's sooooooooo good. I hear how nerdy I sound when I say this, but I have looked into the eyes of Kylo Ren when he was mad at me and it was dope. I'm 39 years old.

Lastly, the reference to fan debate over Kylo Ren's lightsaber was a real deep cut. Who's responsible for that reference and what side of the line are you on?

We just thought that is something Kylo would sensitive about. That he would throw a tantrum if you mocked his lightsaber. And he did. And it was awesome. I'm 39 years old.
