On Kylo Ren, (AKA Evil Jon Snow) I feel that the movies made a huge misstep with his character. Just in case, Spoilers:  I think that what made Vader such a great villain was how intimidating he was. Kylo Ren just didn't seem scary to me in the slightest, like a good Star Wars villain should. For one, removing his mask as often as he did took away his mystique, (which is what helped) and his angsty, irritable teenager thing made him more comical than threatening in my opinion. However, I think that the biggest issue was that they let Rey defeat him in the first movie. She had never even used a lightsaber before! Here Vader is killing Obi-Wan, and over here is Kylo, getting his butt handed to him by someone with less training than a youngling. Even killing Han didn't help him much in my opinion, since it felt more like a cheap kill than anything.
