He eventually found and repaired an old scout-class TIE fighter. Despite breaking his ribs and twisting his ankle in the fall, he began climbing his way out of the chasm through perseverance. Instead, the act of killing his own father caused Ren to feel weaker,[37] affecting his very spirit and leaving him feeling more lost than ever. His alter ego, Kylo Ren, was the master of the Knights of Ren and Supreme Leader of the First Order. [38] Nevertheless, he offered to make Rey his apprentice after gauging her raw strength in the Force. At one point, he defeated Voe in a sparring match. However, as a result of his mother's effort to reach him at the cost of her life, Ren found himself questioning everything he had been led to believe about the dark side, his family, and himself. Ren informed General Hux of the new development and left the recovery of the droid in the hands of the military. Letting him survive after all that happened in the movie would've been a terrible mistake, and not one Disney should ever consider changing. [50] It was the trauma from this action that caused him to be outmatched by an untrained scavenger, who had never before wielded a lightsaber. He activated his lightsaber to illuminate the room and looked around, but whatever it was had now gone. Skywalker eventually became aware of the darkness growing in his nephew as he observed glimpses during Solo's training. [24] Luke Skywalker even regarded his nephew Ren as a strong adversary who was far more powerful than Rey. Instead, "he has a specific title and a specific look that goes with that title. [28] He kept a calligraphy set filled with Jedi insights[29] in his quarters during his time with Skywalker. Gaining the title of Supreme Leader only made Ren more suspicious of the individuals around him, particularly Hux,[7] but also Pyde and Darth Sidious.[18]. [9], Finn ignited the Skywalker lightsaber that had been given to him for safekeeping by Maz Kanata—a lightsaber that once belonged to Luke Skywalker, and to Anakin before him. For the second-to-last week, Star Wars Rebels returned on Monday night as it nears the end of its run. His father would hold him close in an effort to help Solo sleep. He then ordered his ship to be readied, resuming his quest to eradicate the Resistance.[30]. Ren, conflicted by the pull towards the light, broke down in tears and told his father that he was being torn apart by the constant struggle between the dark and the light inside him and wanted to be free of the pain that he was feeling. Despite their rivalry, Ren and Hux worked together during the hunt for Skywalker. By then, Rey was straining with the Force to stop a First Order transport from leaving the planet, believing that Chewbacca had been taken aboard as a prisoner of the First Order. As the First Order pursued the Resistance fleet, Ren was being treated for the injury he had taken to his face, a medical droid removing the microsutures that had been attached to it, when he sensed a disturbance. Instead, it flew past him and landed in the hands of Rey, who used the Force to call it to her—as it was her destiny to wield the lightsaber of Anakin Skywalker. Ren followed Rey and Finn into the forests outside of the oscillator, as they made their way back to the nearby Millennium Falcon. Twenty-four years after the Battle of Endor, the truth about Solo's mother Organa's parentage was revealed by her political enemies, in the Galactic Senate. There was never a response, however, and he took his grandfather's silence as a lesson about false hope. Though he destroyed the Knights of Ren,[18] Solo did so without feelings of hatred or anger towards them, electing to give them the quick deaths that they had denied to those they had killed.[10]. [31] No longer a Jedi but neither a Sith, Ren strove to harness the pain of his emotional conflict in order to fuel his extraordinary powers and destroy the last traces of the Jedi tradition.[37]. He used the Force to push her over a cliff, surrendering to the urge to kill the woman who called him a murderer, but it was a fleeting emotion that passed as Voe started to fall. He instantly recognized it as his lightsaber, as it had become an extension of his own self. [18] She again rejected Ren's offer as she jumped aboard the Millennium Falcon, which had been retrieved by her team with the help of a spy. Ren demanded that San Tekka give the map to the First Order, but San Tekka refused to submit to the will of the dark side and reminded the one-time Jedi that Ren could not deny the truth of his heritage, at which point Ren struck him down with his lightsaber while sarcastically agreeing with him. [9], Shortly after leaving Dameron under the guard of several stormtroopers, Ren arrived on the Finalizer's bridge upon hearing that the Resistance pilot escaped aboard a TIE fighter. Ren demanded that Finn give him the lightsaber, claiming it belonged to him, but instead the former stormtrooper engaged him in a lightsaber duel. Armed only with a blaster and his own conviction, Solo charged through the cavernous cathedral beneath the citadel, shooting his way through the Sith cultists and elite guards who obstructed his path. Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. Their rivalry ended when Ren usurped his master's throne, killing Snoke to become the new Supreme Leader. This makes Ren more dangerous and unpredictable for the actor, as there is no level that Ren will not go to in order to accomplish his objectives. 1.89 meters (6ft 2in)[7] [6] Solo was prone to crying as an infant, especially during the early months of his life, but always settled whenever he sensed the presence of his mother, his father, or Chewbacca. [7], Snoke considered Ren and Rey equals in the Force[30] after realizing that their bond was uniquely powerful, making them a dyad in the Force. [9], Possessing an inquisitive mind, Solo endeavored to gain greater knowledge of the Force[7] and the Jedi ways[29] during his apprenticeship under Skywalker. [30] The struggle within Ren as he prepared to strike down Han Solo had been sensed by Snoke from afar. Outside the cave, Snoke could sense the conflict within Ren, but then he sensed Ren ignite his lightsaber. Ren collapsed to the ground in physical and emotional agony as Rey sensed Organa's death through the Force. As the new Supreme Leader, Ren took several opportunities to reduce Hux's status in the First Order. He felt comfortable sitting through the film and watching it with them because of how much time and effort he and his co-stars put into the film. Looming overhead in his command shuttle, Ren oversaw the deployment of AT-ATs, AT-M6s, and AT-STs to the salt-covered surface of Crait, gathered from what remained of the Supremacy. [18] Listening to the voice of his father and seeing pride and joy in Han's eyes ultimately caused the last vestiges of the persona of Kylo Ren to fade from the mind of Ben Solo.[10]. [86] Talon's role was then morphed into that of the "Jedi Killer," the initial name of the character who evolved into Kylo Ren, which was used throughout the film's pre-production before the director and co-writer J.J. Abrams and his team settled on a name for the character.

[91] This fact was later mentioned in the twenty-first of Star Wars Helmet Collection. [30] He knew what must be done[37] and, as Rey predicted, he did indeed turn against his master. Supreme Leader Snoke considered Ren a focal point between the dark side and the light,[31] a balance that made him a target of Snoke so Ren's powers could be used to further the ambitions of the First Order. He touched her face and began probing her mind with the Force. Ren saw himself as a monster, and believed that the dark side was in his nature. After the duel with Rey on Kef Bir, Ren questioned his beliefs and regretted the choices he made. [33] His turn to the dark side was marked by killing the Knights' leader and murdering Voe, a fellow Padawan. Han, a smuggler before joining the Rebellion, was unable to stay in one place for long, while Organa became occupied with routine senatorial duties. He responded that she could not hide from him.[4]. Shortly after the Battle of Fortress Vader, the Sith Lord Darth Vader, the Sith persona of the famed Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, heard the voice of Ren saying that it was time to "Let the past die" as he slaughtered illusions of Jedi while exploring the portal constructed by Darth Momin in Fortress Vader on Mustafar. [58] Ren personally oversaw the search for Resistance fugitives at the Black Spire Outpost on Batuu, having traveled to the remote installation via a TIE/es assault shuttle—along with the 709th Legion,[59] elite stormtroopers chosen by Ren himself[60]—after receiving word that Rey had apparently been sighted on Batuu. [35], After successfully killing Ren and taking control of his knights, Ben returned to face Voe, snatched Voe's weapon, and killed her by igniting Ren's lightsaber through her chest. He was physically stronger, and though she was a little faster, she was tiring and slowing due to lack of sleep and not recovering from healing the vexis on Pasaana. Explore. While a majority of deaths (save one very big one) in Star Wars are final, there is a way for Ben Solo to return even though he looked about as dead as one can be. He proceeded to say that he knew Ren was afraid, as he should have been because he had no control. He soon grew resentful of his status as Snoke's apprentice, believing he would always be kept subservient as long as his Master was alive. Kylo Ren saw himself as the rightful heir to the legacy of his grandfather, Darth Vader. [23] There was a strong family resemblance between Solo and his parents; he had his father's long face and posture, and his mother's warm eyes. Hux assured him that Ren was indeed like his mother, even if he would have denied it. Before he knew it, a vision of Rey appeared before him. Ren realized that it could only have been FN-2187, after remembering how the conflicted soldier had hesitated in Tuanul, and he said as much to Hux.
