Snoke knew he himself was an unlikely fulcrum, just about the furthest thing from what the tattered remnants of Palpatine’s Empire had imagined as a leader. The admirals and generals who’d survived the fury of the Empire’s implosion and the New Republic’s wrath had envisioned being led by someone else, anyone else: pitiless, devious Gallius Rax; dutiful, cautious Rae Sloane; the slippery political fanatic Ormes Apolin; or even an unhinged but ambitious military architect such as Brendol Hux.
All of those would-be leaders had been co-opted, sidelined, or destroyed, leaving only Armitage Hux, the mad son of a mad father. And that one was but a mouthpiece, a miscast tinkerer whose rantings could only persuade the sort of rabble who blindly worshipped rage and lunatic certainty.

小说根据剧本写的，有补充改动
记Hux和Kylo一些部分，有Kylux滤镜，还有很多吐槽
The Finalizer’s gleaming black bridge was a model of efficiency, with controllers and monitors briskly exchanging information from the Star Destroyer’s targeting computers and sensor suites. Hux smiled at the thought of himself as the center of all that activity—a slim, dignified figure in black, uniform perfect, standing at parade rest.
洋洋自得www
True, Starkiller Base had then been destroyed, but Hux told himself that was merely an unfortunate setback……Hux would be free to build a dozen new Starkillers—or a hundred.
虽然心血工程SKB毁了但是没有灰心。中间一段有讲“叛徒”被处理掉了（漫画里Phasma甩的锅）。其实有死星前车之鉴，应该是很明白SKB被毁是迟早的事儿
Hux felt all eyes turning his way, and red threatening to bloom in his cheeks.
……
Hux was flushed with triumph.
脸红is canon
As the turbolift doors shut, General Hux tugged at the cuffs of his uniform, even though he knew they were perfect. He tried not to think how long it had been since Supreme Leader Snoke had summoned him to his throne room aboard the enormous warship known as the Supremacy.
……
And, very soon, the destroyer of the Resistance.
For which he would earn another reward, Hux mused.
Commander of the Supremacy would be an excellent title…surpassed only by that of Supreme Leader Hux.
Hux almost whispered those three words to himself but caught himself in time. Snoke had spies everywhere in the First Order—including, quite possibly, electronic ones in the turbolift leading to his private domain at the Supremacy’s heart.
就这还把野心藏得很好？哈哈哈
Hux knew the Force was real—his body still ached from being slammed to the deck of the Finalizer. But such sorcery was a last dying echo of ancient history, unreliable and unpredictable where technological prowess delivered certainty. Snoke commanded no legions of Force warriors, as the Jedi once had. No children were plucked from the ranks of First Order stormtroopers after displaying abilities beyond those of ordinary beings. There was just Snoke, and his loathsome creature Kylo Ren.
Hux不怎么信原力，仿佛还不知道Knights of Ren。后面提到
His father, Brendol, had told him how the Jedi had maintained their power by seizing Force-sensitive infants and training them as warriors. The Jedi had agreed to lead the Republic’s clone armies, but turned on Chancellor Palpatine and tried to seize control of the Senate. The clones—ironically, another order of soldiers trained from infancy—had prevented this betrayal, turning their guns on their former generals.
The Jedi had deserved their fate, Brendol said—but there was much to learn from their methods. As there was from the training regimens of the Republic’s clones. The elder Hux had forged elements of both orders to create an army of soldiers trained as soon as they left the cradle—an army that had originated under the Empire but achieved its full glory under the First Order and the younger Hux.
So, in a sense, the First Order’s stormtroopers were the Jedi’s legacy.
帝国洗脑教育🤔
As Hux got to his feet, the turbolift opened behind him and Ren stepped into the throne room, face hidden behind his black-and-silver mask. Hux couldn’t resist grinning at him.
……
Kylo Ren studiously ignored Hux as the black-clad general all but strutted out of the throne room. But Snoke had no difficulty sensing the anger that boiled out of Kylo at the sight of Hux’s smug smile.
“You wonder why I keep a rabid cur in such a place of power,” Snoke said once they were alone. “Mark this—a cur’s weakness, properly manipulated, can be a sharp tool.”
Kylo ignored that—he was in no mood for Snoke’s teachings, not after all that had happened.
啧啧
And his abdomen ached where a bolt from Chewbacca’s bowcaster had struck—a blow that would have been instantly fatal if Kylo hadn’t instinctively contained its energy with the Force.
原来这里就伤得很重了（给打不过ReyRey挽尊），原力强身护体包治百病（
Ben in her womb, turning and tumbling in search of comfort, an ever-expanding radiance in the Force, but one shot through with veins of shadow. Luke had reassured her that was normal—the brighter the light, the darker the shadow. She’d desperately hoped that was true.
Ben as a baby, red-faced and round. His hair had been black from birth, impossibly fine and delicate—the softest thing Leia had ever imagined.
Ben as a toddler, forever following Han. Carrying the dice from the Millennium Falcon—the ones his father had used to win the beloved, battered freighter—and promising anyone who’d listen that one day he would be a pilot, too, like his daddy.
Ben in adolescence, his face grown lean above a strong jaw. A boy who always seemed alone, a churning storm in the Force. And whose anger had begun to manifest in malfunctions and breakdowns and objects that fell off shelves and shattered with no one near.
Ben, her son. Who’d been stolen from her and Han, stolen by Snoke’s wiles and Luke’s mistakes and his own furies. Who’d become Kylo Ren, the champion of the First Order—and his father’s murderer.
虽然婴儿胎毛都很好看还是想夸一下Ren天生头发好（
哇骰子那段就因为作者先看了电影最后捡骰子的剧情，一个回马枪，但是我还是被捅到了😢
For a moment Kylo let himself recall his parents’ worried conversations behind closed doors, the ones they’d deluded themselves into thinking he wouldn’t know about. Conversations about the anger and resentment that had boiled over once again in their son. Conversations in which they talked about him like he wasn’t their son, but some kind of monster.
They were frightened of him, he realized. And so they got rid of him, sending him away to his uncle Luke—whose betrayal would prove far worse.
But Ben Solo was no more—Kylo had shed his childhood identity and the pathetic weakness it represented. Han Solo’s days of cheating and disappointing people were over. The New Republic was destroyed. And now the Resistance—the last of his mother’s causes—would follow it into extinction.
It’s too late to be sorry, Mother. Though you’re right to worry.
His thumb hovered over the trigger, even as his senses drank in impressions from the Force. The panic on the bridge ebbed and flowed around the calm focus that was his mother. Her anxiety pulsed in the Force, in this last moment before her death…but she wasn’t afraid.
She was worried for him, he realized. And she wasn’t angry. She ached for him to come back to her.
Kylo depressed the trigger slightly, not quite enough to fire.
And then he lifted his thumb.
He couldn’t do it.
……
He(Snoke) had seen his apprentice’s enormous potential when he was still a child—the latent power of the Skywalker bloodline was impossible to miss. And he had also seen how to exploit the boy’s feelings of inadequacy and abandonment, and his mother’s guilt and desperation to contain the darkness within her child.
综合三方视角来看，Leia极度担心小Ben堕入黑暗面，不知道怎么办就让Luke教育，小Ben觉得被抛弃，再就是Luke也ooc，Snoke趁虚而入。担心厄运成真反而一手促成很星战式悲剧，但这明显是为了让Ren sympathetic，或者为洗白铺路，扣锅家长
没叩扳机扩写处理得Ren更叉烧“不识父母心”，很小学生作文式转折，我觉得他不是不知道Leia一直都关心他，而是真就下不去手（司机演得真好😢）
“The Resistance ships have pulled out of range,” Hux said over his comlink. “We can’t cover you at this distance. Return to the fleet.”
“No!”
Kylo turned back toward the Raddus, determined to erase the cruiser and the rest of the Resistance fleet from existence. The Mon Calamari ship’s point-defense cannons spat energy at the TIEs, and the fighter to port vanished in a ball of fire.
“Snoke’s command,” Hux told him. “They won’t last long, burning fuel like this. It’s just a matter of time.”
Hux sounded patient as if he were addressing a child. Kylo would show the arrogant general that was a fatal mistake.
The Raddus’s guns incinerated another TIE.
Teeth gritted, Kylo broke off the attack, streaking for the distant line of First Order warships.
电影里是Hux一说Ren就马上掉头了，这还要搬出Snoke，而且Ren自己赌气还怪Hux耐心把他当小孩哈
Hux briefly allowed himself to return to the idea of sending both of them to the detention level for extensive interrogation. But no, his first instinct had been correct. Traitors and insurgents were vermin, and beneath his notice. He’d lingered too long as it was—a leader of his stature had far more important duties to attend to.
Still, his hand hurt.
“Execute them both!” he ordered, then strode out of the hangar.
……
As Hux departed from the hangar, surreptitiously shaking the hand Rose had bitten,
wtmxs，提一句Hux的自制力，出丑了也算能控制住情绪理智思考。就和Ren互补
He looked around frantically, gripped by the fear that he’d consigned himself to an ignominious end—the architect of the First Order’s military domination spending his last moments trapped in a turbolift. But the lift descended so smoothly, Hux had no idea anything was wrong.
Hux的前后电梯里的心理活动怎么这么好笑，说不定是唯一梳理心情的场所
Hux stood over the Supreme Leader’s body in shock for a moment, trying to process everything that had happened and calculate everything that could happen next.
……
Snoke was dead. Ren was not.
Moving quietly and carefully, Hux stepped away from the Supreme Leader’s corpse and looked down at Ren. His hand crept to the pistol in his holster.
Kylo stirred, his eyes fluttering.
Hux turned the move for his blaster into scratching at a phantom itch on his leg and took a step back. When Kylo’s eyes opened he would find the general looking down at him with apparent concern.
自控力强脑筋转得快演技一流，不是后面生气露馅被掐我简直要猛吹一把
“Finish this? You presume to command my army? We have no ruler. The Supreme Leader is dead.”
Kylo said nothing. Screeching speeches and superheated rhetoric were Hux’s departments. Sometimes action was a far more effective message.
Kylo·说不过你我还治不了你吗·Ren
Kylo would have preferred to supervise the assault alone—Hux, he knew, would see the relatively straightforward operation as an opportunity for self-aggrandizement. But it was critical to keep the ambitious general close at hand. Hux had eliminated a number of rivals during his rise to power—including his own father—and Kylo had no intention of joining their ranks. With Hux beside him, there was no chance of an accident befalling the command shuttle—and every opportunity to remind the general and the other officers who was in charge.
Keep Him Close: A Kylux Event
Beside Kylo, Hux surveyed the damage with a mixture of awe and pleasure.
This was the future, he knew—Resistance dead-enders and New Republic revanchists fleeing the First Order’s might until there was nowhere left to run, then cowering in holes on forgotten worlds. It would do them no good—they would be dug out by Hux’s machines and dragged out by his troops.
It would be slow work—but never tedious. Because he would enjoy every engagement, surrender, and execution. The galaxy had been hobbled by disease for far too long, but Hux had sterilized the infection. Now he would cut out the dead tissue.
Ren, he sensed, shared his satisfaction at seeing the goal they had pursued for so long finally at hand.
“General Hux, advance,” he said. “No quarter. No prisoners.”
难得感觉一致，然而
Hux looked at Ren’s face and saw terror—naked and undisguised.
That fear meant weakness—and opportunity.
……
Ren had never been so wise. He was incapable of it—a slave to his emotions. That wouldn’t do in a Supreme Leader. It would endanger all Hux and his technologists had created.
Well, Hux wouldn’t allow that. And the more delusions Ren suffered, the easier it would be to arrange for him to be sidelined and eliminated.
Hux心思真活络，甚至有种IX绝对要背后捅刀的预感
“More!” he yelled.
Hux looked at him uneasily.
“We’ve surely—” he began, but Kylo cut him off.
“More!” he howled.
The firing continued, the fusillade of energy tinting the white salt around the blast point orange and red.
“Enough,” Hux said. “Enough!”
The First Order commanders looked at one another uncertainly. Kylo said nothing, collapsing into his chair. After a moment, Hux’s order was obeyed and the firing stopped.
“You think you got him?” Hux asked acidly, not bothering to hide his scorn.”
……
“Supreme Leader, don’t be distracted!” Hux urged. “Our goal is to kill the Resistance! They’re helpless in the mine, but every moment we waste—”
Kylo harnessed the Force, used it to seize Hux, and hurled him into the wall of the command shuttle’s cabin. Hard enough to shut him up, certainly, and maybe to kill him. He didn’t particularly care which.
啧啧，手下🍉

很多人对Hux的看法是他疯癫无能。就Hux的表现（我还吹了把）和Ren对他的了解（cp脑发作）来看，虽然缺点很多但绝对不是无能，也还可以吧。Ren这边就……我觉得tlj Ren能打动我完全是因为司机的好演技……
