Adam Driver hosted Saturday Night Live on January 17 and starred in a parody of Undercover Boss. This version, called Star Wars Undercover Boss: Starkiller Base, saw Driver reprise the role of Kylo Ren. The dark side user went undercover as Matt the radar technician to get the real inside scoop on what Starkiller Base employees think of Kylo Ren (the sketch is below in case you haven’t seen it).
In no time at all, there was fan art featuring Matt popping up around social media. It didn’t take much longer for costumes to appear. I’ve seen a few completed ensembles so far and adore how quickly makers have jumped on replicating the look. I’m sure there will be several Matts at conventions this year.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
