And where was it established that he is the First Order equivalent of the Green Beret?Kylo was on the most important mission the FO could have possibly had. Did he take elite stormtroopers with him or some newbs that might happen to defect? Seems like another poorly thought out part of the story.
Let’s put it this way: do you think Vader had “elite” troopers with him in ANH, when he is boarding the Tantive iv? They sure don’t look like it… And that could be considered as an equally important mission.
