Who should have played him instead?

Jason Statham.

someone who doesn't look like a monkey

James Mccavoy or 'question of the day guy' from Spiderman

I get that they prefer to go for unknown actors though and also be big enough to be intimidating

Me.

Michael pitt

You're all objectively wrong.

Driver is the best cast role in the film. He does a good job as Kylo Ren.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson

What's wrong with Adam Driver? I think he was fitting for the role.

doesnt matter. problem isnt with adam driver, he played the role of whiney emo teenage sith lord well

the problem is that is a stupid fucking character. Concept is fine, the scary bad guy that actually has his own problems so that he has some layers to him and isnt just a big bad boogeyman.

problem is the rest of the movie doesnt give a shit about characterization or character arcs or themes and is all about pew pew x wing tie fighter millenium falcon anakins lightsaber! wahoo!

so he looks and feels out of place

Michael Pitt or Karl Urban would've been good fits

Adam Driver is really really good for the role, so this is kind of irrelevant

>implying the problem was with Driver
>implying he didnt execute the role as it was written perfectly
The question is who shoudlve wrote the thing and what angle should they have taken.
unfortunately disney execs who are not film fans held creative licence and they went for the 'on paper' option of use what worked previously, and use what worked previously for the company
Unfortunately again, this translated to a rehash of of Ep 6 while using the cast of a disney high school drama

Dont blame the casting director for the failures of studio heads

Adam Driver was perfectly cast, I can't imagine anyone else doing a better job at it.
