The video comes courtesy of [William Denton](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcNb4NFW3WhGlVpH9NjRfuw), who captured his son Nicholas getting the Imperial treatment during a recent visit to the Star Wars Experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. In the clip, a tiny Ren, wearing [his terrifying mask](http://time.com/4132985/kylo-ren-mask-star-wars-force-awakens/?iid=sr-link6) and toting his [three-headed lightsaber](http://time.com/4020230/star-wars-the-force-awakens-toys/?iid=sr-link6), is given a full escort through Disney World by the trusty and loyal troopers taking him to meet the full-sized Ren for a photo op. While the video was posted just after [Star Wars Day](http://time.com/4317608/star-wars-day-daisy-ridley-may-fourth/?iid=sr-link4) (for the uninitiated, that’s May the Fourth) it re-emerged on Reddit yesterday, hopefully in the same way [Luke Skywalker](http://time.com/4242637/luke-skywalker-has-a-bigger-role-in-star-wars-episode-viii-says-daisy-ridley/?iid=sr-link7) will re-emerge from his self-imposed exile in _Episode VIII_, the next installment of _Star Wars_ franchise, to help [Rey](http://time.com/4282080/star-wars-rap-daisy-ridley-john-boyega/?iid=sr-link9) crush [Ren](http://time.com/4353799/star-wars-kylo-ren-helmet/?iid=sr-link1) and his First Order. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4430441/stormtroopers-tiny-kylo-ren/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4430441/stormtroopers-tiny-kylo-ren/"},"headline":"Watch Stormtroopers Show a Tiny Kylo Ren the Proper Respect","datePublished":"2016-07-29T16:40:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:34:55.020Z","description":"Aren't you kind of short to be Kylo Ren?","url":"https://time.com/4430441/stormtroopers-tiny-kylo-ren/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","Star Wars topic","Fans","The Force Awakens"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4430441/stormtroopers-tiny-kylo-ren/","name":"Watch Stormtroopers Show a Tiny Kylo Ren the Proper Respect"}}]}] ```
