STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI: General Hux Ponders The Future Of The First Order In This New Still
We haven't seen much of General Hux (Domhnall Gleeson) in Star Wars: The Last Jedi but a new still puts the spotlight on the villain as the actor sheds some light on what to expect from him here...
As Imperials go, General Hux was up there as one of the most despicable after his introduction in Star Wars: The Force Awakens but what should we expect from him in The Last Jedi? We don't really know because the character's role has been kept very much under wraps but Domhnall Gleeson has now shed some light on that, specifically mentioned the relationship between Hux and Kylo Ren here.
"Because of what happened in the first film, he's been pushed to a place where his position is in real jeopardy, and people make really bad decisions when they get desperate," Gleeson has revealed in a new interview with Empire Online. "Hux and Kylo Ren are vying for power and for Snoke's attention. They’re both contenders for the throne and Hux is hoping Ren explodes, so that he can take up the mantle. He knows it will be a battle otherwise, one he may very well lose." Who will win? We'll see!
A new image of Hux has also been released, and as you can see, he appears to be ponding what comes next for The First Order. Are you excited to see him return in Star Wars: The Last Jedi? Sound off below.
