Screen Rant 2s5h6u Ben Solo/Kylo Ren The son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, Ben was manipulated by Palpatine through the Force for most of his life, influenced toward the dark side of the Force. A misstep by Luke Skywalker ultimately left Ben feeling he had no choice but to embrace the dark side, and he became Kylo Ren, a key figure in the First Order. Kylo Ren's heart remained deeply divided, however, even after he ascended to become Supreme Leader of the First Order. He was ultimately redeemed by Rey, with whom he shared a remarkable Force bond, and by the love of his parents.

Andorseason 2 provided brand-new insights into Star Wars movies and TV shows, but one of the most shocking examples was this Kylo Ren/Ben Solo connection that actually explained his obsession with Darth Vader. Andor was a fascinating addition to the Star Wars franchise, and, particularly following season 2, it proved to be one of Star Wars' best TV shows, if not the single best. In part, this was because Andor broke the mold in such an interesting way. 6x3d3u

Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Star Wars: Legacy of Vader #4Prior to the events of The Rise of Skywalker, Kylo Ren had little interest in Emperor Palpatine, completely underestimating the Sith Lord he assumed was dead. Arrogantly assuming he was the best candidate to become the peak embodiment of the dark side and succeed his grandfather during the sequels, Kylo Ren went on a journey between films, seeking to learn more about Darth Vader's legacy. However, Marvel's ongoing Legacy of Vader series has also proven just how blind Ben Solo truly was.
