Star Wars | Kylo Ren

"Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to. That's the only way to become what you're meant to be."
A child who lost his way, a man who made mistakes. A story of redemption.
Hi! Thanks for watching my tribute video to undoubteldy, the best thing that happened to Star Wars' sequel trilogy, Kylo Ren/Ben Solo. I absolutely love his character arc, the downright badass aura he has around him and also the conflicted nature. Lot of people will disagree and hate on the character, but everyone has their taste and opinions. Of course, here's my attempt at reflecting all of these traits in a short clip. Hope you enjoyed!

Rey should have died then kylo abandons the dark side becomes a jedi goes to tatooine and instead of saying “I’m Ben skywalker” he sees ever jedi force ghost and sees his father and said”Ben solo

[@calebknapp8478]

I feel like it was a redemption for what anakin couldnt do. Save Padme. I feel like they wanted to pull some shit where Kylo was more powerful than Vader by doing the one thing that Vader never could, and when vader tried to he wanted both him and Padme alive, but Kylo sacrificed himself for Rey which makes him so much stronger than Vader and also showed how he managed to turn from light to dark to back to light which also made him stronger.

[@SwissFMC]

Well, they completely destroyed his arc and character in the last movie. They should have killed him at the begining before he became a joke and an incredible bad written soulless character to just drive the mary sue love interest plot, the han solo cameo enabler, and the tiny little hurdle for mary sue which really wasn't even a hurdle. At the end of the Movie his character was unredeemable destroyed for me, so killing him should make sure they don't butcher that character anymore in the future. I partially liked his character in the TFA movie though. With his mask on he was a fearsome, intimidating, strong, raging and emotionaly unstable character which i could imagine as great antagonist. Without it he was a whiny 10 year old kid, which got ridiculed by mary sue which portrait him as insanely weak compared to how he was portrait at the start of the movie. And the longer his Story progressed the more he became a Plot device with sudden character/emotional changes to drive the plot where it has to end. I guess without Mary sue his Character might have been interesting. He was Emotionaly split and could have a lot of similarities to anakins struggle. sad he had to be ridiculed and formed into mary sues plot device.

[@matts8791]

*”Kylo should have felt pleasure in reaching out with the force, inserting himself into the Wookiee’s mind, ripping away his memories and thoughts, instead it was exhausting. He saw flashes of the Wookiee laughing with a much younger Han Solo than he himself remembered, felt Chewbacca’s joy when his best friend married the women he’d come to love as a sister. He saw the Wookiee cuddling a human toddler, teaching an older boy to fly a speeder, target practice with a young man their blasters set on stun against a haphazard dummy made of rocks. Uncle Chewie, he’d called him back then…nausea rolled in the pit of Kylo’s stomach when he finally walked away from interrogation room six.”* - TROS novelisation, was originally meant to be in the movie but ended up being cut for time…still canon though.

And in my opinion kylo shouldnt have died....his blood IS skywalker. He IS the continuation of the chosen one. Palpatine should've died killing Palpatine not only ending the bloodline but also finalizing its legacy in the light at the end.

[@adelinas.7335]

I hear you. However, the first and second trilogies largely followed a male protagonist. It was really something special to see a female in that role. That being said Adam Driver did an incredible job of moving the story forward. It speaks of what an incredible actor he is despite the lack of very good story lines or conversational words spoken. So given where we were coming from I think it played out the best way possible. I just wish we didn’t have the movie before this one- Rogue One. That felt like a gigantic waste of time. I would have preferred a side story of Kylo Ren & Rey the early years. Then I would have had a deeper sense of their character development. On the whole the latest trilogy lacks story development. Too many pieces going in many different directions. It’s like only going a inch deep a mile wide.

[@LuciferMorningstar-th4yp]

Calm Dust no one wanted a female protagonist🤷🏿‍♂️

[@adelinas.7335]

Lucifer Morningstar How about all the women who love Star Wars? Up until 2011 only 25% of lead actors in films were female. It’s steadily has climbed since then. You didn’t ask for it, but the world does not revolve around only what men want. Get used to it.

[@LuciferMorningstar-th4yp]

Calm Dust it’s not that. it was going so good until they introduced Rey SKYWALKER 🤷🏿‍♂️.

Disney fucked up so bad . There should have been a big light saber battle between kylo and luke master and apprentice and they blew it Rey should have been kylos twin sister or Luke's daughter. I would have stuck to the books Han and Leia have jedi twins Ben and rey One good one bad That way her character has more purpose Have a big fight between Luke and kylo Focus more on kylo in all 3 movies Develop finn more Dont kill off admiral akhbar Dont kill off luke Have luke save kylo in the end turn him to the light like he did vader Let palpatine stay dead Keep chewie and lando The end The trilogy would have been so much better

[@prska]

@@jasonraczkowski6001 only three or four things in your reply are correct, it would've actually sucked if luke was alive and turned ben back into the light again, his story is over, the sequels are about the new characters mostly, it was the best choice that ben's parents, han and leia (with a little help from rey) turned him back to the light, and why do you think it should've been a better lightsaber fight between ben and luke? luke died as a hero who saved the last members of the resistance without trying to fight ben, it shows that he still cared about his nephew and he was just buying time for the others to escape without hurting ben, and he had his part in saving ben from the dark side, luke was flawless in the sequels and i dont fucking get why you guys are moaning about it

Adam's Kylo is probably the only one that sticks with me after the awfully handled sequel trilogy. As angry and hateful he seemed, inside he's still genuinely a good person. He came off as trying too hard to be something he's not. "oh he's not cool because he's trying to be his grandpa vader." that's his character flaw, he's not perfect. Adam did good.

[@themarsman5155]

No he's cool because part of his story is that he could never be the next Vader it was snokes manipulation that made him think that's who he should be, it was unrealistic. I think it's clear Ben solo and han had a troubled relationship but I did wish it was shown on screen, like a scene of Leia and Han sending a young Ben solo to Luke's temple.

It’s a shame because they almost had it, both TFA and TLJ did him and the story good then TROS came along and screwed it all up

But it did a great job with Luke and Kylo, had nice themes and felt like it actually told a new story.

@@Potatoe-KaiZy Nah g, he died because they wanted rey to become the new skywalker and to possible push the message that anyone can become a skywalker idk. But what we do know is that they tried a redemption arc with Ben and while it was somewhat good, it was incomplete and in another perspective, overdone. It’s also admitted that Ben wasn’t even suppose to die and it was an addition added in the development of the final movie. This is Star Wars so you should always expect a good ending for the main character as it pushes its traditional message of hope

[@Potatoe-KaiZy]

@@patrickthestarboy5612 First the "redemption" of Ben solo is present in the movies since TFA by his conflict between the light and the dark. Second, the redemption of Vador was decided during ROTJ without any introduction in the previous movies so.. I prefer Ben's redemption. Second, Rey becomes a Skywalker because all his life changed by the force and she's the legacy of the bloodline. Ben had to die.

The only thing I think would’ve brought the whole starwars community together is having their favourite character, that also had direct links to the most loved characters in starwars franchise, come out and be the spotlight surviver at the end of the movie. I think it would’ve been so much better for Rey to destroy her own evil family name for good and in the meanwhile sacrificing herself as it’s the only way to truly kill off the palpatine bloodline. With then kylo ren turning to the light as he did, and therefore following in a similar arc to his grandfather after he turned to Vader.
