SPOILER ALERT.
One of the new characters in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is a young, angsty Kylo Ren, who is strong with The Force but prone to temper tantrums as he continues his journey to the Dark Side.
His emotional struggle has spawned a hilarious parody Twitter account — Emo Kylo Ren — documenting how annoyed he is at everything. Created just 3 weeks ago, it has more then 586,000 followers.
Not to be outdone, the M.I.A. Jedi Luke Skywalker also launched a Twitter account, Very Lonely Luke. The Jedi master sarcastically reflects on his life past and present and has 120,000 followers.
