Quote:In my interpretation, I found it obvious that he wasn't really a strong force user and wanted to become more powerful. He realized that giving in to his anger (likely at not being skilled as he was part of a strong legacy) would give him more power and Snoke cultivated that. He wants to become as powerful as his grandfather but is nowhere near that, and all his angst stems from this inferiority. If you watch it again, look at the facial expressions of General Hux and other leaders around Kylo. They are all just humoring him because he's the Supreme Leader's latest pet. They don't take him all that seriously.
