This cross-guard lightsaber toting villain is definitely reminiscent of the most popular Sith Lord in the franchise of movies, but what other Darth Vader comparisons can we expect when Episode VII's December 18, 2015 release date arrives? According to a new Entertainment Weekly feature on the film, J.J. Abrams is opening up about Ren and the other characters we'll see in theaters this holiday season. Find out more details below.

"I think that what makes Ren so unique is that he isn't as fully formed as when we meet a character such as Darth Vader...I think that there are two sides to the Force.
