    ah, so kylo ren used to be luke's best student, trained in the ways of the force and lightsaber combat for several years, was even the grandson of the chosen one, only for him to lose a lightsaber duel to a random girl named ray who was wielding a lightsaber for the first time...that's even worse than what i originally knew about 😭

      You forgot the circumstances
      1 He just killed his father which he thought would make him more powerful in the darkside but actually weakened him.
      2 He was shot in the gut with A cross bow and that’s shown to be able to throw stormtroopers several feet in the air.
      3 He had compassion on Rey and didn’t want to kill her why Rey was fully bloodlusted and Using the dark side to try and kill Kylo.
      4 Rey because of the Dyad was able to Adopt Some of Kylos Skills when they had the mind battle. That’s why Rey was using mind tricks after because she got it from Kylos mind like an imprint. She also was self trained and used a bow staff for most of her life so it’s not like she was completely unexperienced She just didn’t know how to use the force.
      5 Rey is a Palpatine and Palpatine himself destroyed his entire family using the force even tho he wasn’t trained at the time.

      He was shot and bleeding out, had a shoulder wound from Finn and was incredibly unbalanced and conflicted and in emotional turmoil due to murdering his father. The whole point is he had everything going against him and set up. Meanwhile Rey allowed the Force to guide her and is a naturally powerful force sensitive being Palpatine’s granddaughter AND a Dyad with Kylo.

      Lose? You need to watch the movies again, or at least the duels.
      Firstly, in Ep 7 Kylo was shot by Chewie's Bowcaster. Those things hit like a truck. They even use bullets. Its metal projectiles coated in plasma energy.
      So Kylo was wounded af(it was definitely the dark side keeping him standing), and it was basically a 2v1 fight, Finn THEN Rey(who isnt some random after 8 & 9 fixed her bad 1st impression). Also, Kylo was blinded by his emotions after seeing Han again.
      Now look at 8 & 9, especially 9. Rey was rash & blinded by her emotions. She fought with rage, while Kylo was calm and dodging & weaving lightsber swings. He had Rey on the ropes, showing the skill gap between the two. Plus he picked up on the same move of force pushing a saber.
      Until Leia interfered, and Rey almost killed Kylo(& seemingly killed Leia).
      So not a single time did Rey beat Kylo on her own. If it wasnt for Leia, Kylo wouldve won.

    We should have gotten this in the sequel trilogy. Ben Solo/Kylo Ren is the best/most interesting character in the trilogy. Showing his backstory onscreen would give greater context for not just him, but also Luke, Han, Leia, and even Snoke.

    Ben's parents and uncle set themselves up to fail him. I think Leia is more to blame than Han, although he bears some of the responsibility. Parents are supposed to do anything for their children and love them unconditionally.
    Leia cared more about her career than her only son, failed to notice how isolated and lonely he became, and could not provide him with a trustworthy adult figure to confide in or turn to when he needed it. Also, Ben was unable to really confide in Luke, because any attempt to help him work through his problems would probably have looked like favoritism since Luke was basically a teacher as well as an uncle.
    Then when her son went off the rails, as children with abandonment issues frequently do, Leia gave up on him pretty much straight away. A better parent or mother would have done everything and tried everything to reach out and help their child.

    I don’t feel sorry for him to me while he may had been best part of the sequel trilogy due to Adam driver performance but to me Ben Solo/Kylo Ren is nothing but a fool. There is nothing to admire about Darth Vader he nothing but a slave to the dark side brought misery to others and a broken man. One thing I dislike about this lore is that it make no sense for Luke or Leia keeping Darth Vader a secret for that long especially Luke because it would make sense for Luke to use the story of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader as a template and warning to his new Jedi order to never fall to the dark side. (Sigh) watching this makes me wish Luke had a son of his own like he did in the Expanding Universe imagine a child born within the order raised in tradition of the Jedi sounds like a interesting story especially it Luke’s son i imagine Luke name him Jinn Skywalker or Cade Skywalker.

      The reason they didn’t tell anyone is because it would completely destroy their Image the galaxy would never forgive Anakin like Luke did and Leia didn’t even forgive him for a very long time. Was it the smartest thing No but that’s the point. Ben finding out the way he did plus Snoke and Palpatine consistently manipulating him made him feel like he had to go down that path because it’s in his blood. And after What he think he saw Luke did made him believe that even more and so he idolized Vader because he felt like that’s what he Should be even tho deep down he doesn’t want to be Vader.
      Ben is naturally pulled to the light Why Anakin was naturally pulled to the dark.

      @@theforcedragon3781 The Galaxy wouldn’t forgive Anakin/Vader either way if Luke and Leia told the truth to their trusted allies at the start when Vader and emperor is already dead I’m sure they be more mature about it I just find it foolish for them keeping it secret for that long and made Anakin a black sheep in the family plus imagine what the galaxy going to do when they find out Rey is The emperor granddaughter. Ben solo fall to the dark side just seems like the writers rip off Anakin but feels cheating on how he turn and desperately wanting their own Vader. In the end of the day there is no justification in doing evil it is why I believe Vader would have hated and be insulted to Kylo ren existence he don’t know a thing about the dark side just a boy playing dress up. Also the light side is the force in it natural state it doesn’t seduces that’s the dark side it’s corruption. Overall the skywalker family in Disney canon are terrible being Jedi.

      @@jaieregilmore971 you do have a point but the video stated Leia Was keeping It a secret at first and wanted to wait until Ben was ready.
      But the information was found and he found out through the hallow net. I see it like A reverse of what happened with Luke and Vader.
      The realization that Vader was his dad could’ve easily turn Luke to the dark side but he went Down the light path. And Ben Took the Darker path unlike Luke.
      And Unlike Leia and Luke there are 0 accounts of Rey being Related to Palpatine.
      Everyone that did know are dead and Left No record.
      Unless someone Got a blood test and found a way to trace it back to Palpatine and I doubt anyone would have the time or want to do that with All the building the galaxy has to go through.
      I believe Vader would see Kylo as Foolish at first but Then Help him grow past that.
      And Kylo Would be fancily loyal to Him so Vader could turn him into a true Sith apprentice.
      I saw a what if a while back about what if They brought back A pure evil Vader like what they did with lord Garmadon, in Lego Ninjago instead of Palpatine. And it was very interesting.
      But I do believe eventually Ben would come back to his senses because he would realize how Evil Vader really was and Ben isn’t nearly as heartless as Vader because Ben’s naturally pulled to the light

      That’s about to change. Some guy is writing a Star Wars book called secrets of the first order and in it, it reveals that Luke has a son named Orion. He trains him after his mother’s death at the hands of Boba Fett, but he also tells Orion the truth about Vader and why he used to be good. Instead of falling to the dark side like Ben did, Orion is a wreck but Luke comforts him and tells him that there is still good in their family. When Orion turns 21, he is sent to train under Ahsoka alongside his cousin Jaina Solo, who Han and Leia doted on. Unlike Ben, Jaina is not sent to train with Luke, instead she stays with her parents and bonds with them. She is also a smart kid, but she is prone to self-blame and guilt. She is upset at first for having Leia hiding the truth about Vader, but Ahsoka convinces her to trust her more which she does. When Orion and Jaina find out Luke is in exile, they call him and Luke is so overjoyed that his son has survived, he vows to leave Ach-to for good and help Leia. That’s how you fix characters.

    I’m honestly not afraid to admit that 7-9 is my fav sw trilogy and 8 is my favorite sw. Yes I have a lotta nostalgia for the prequels I love Anakin, Obi & padme. & Ik that 4-6 is the best through and through stories with 3 great films. But I just enjoy 7-9 the most mainly because of Ren. And how yes he’s our new Skywalker but he’s rather fascinating because he’s tryna pull away from the light vs tryna pull away from the dark. We don’t see that in Vader till episode 6 really. Ben solo makes it those films so entertaining to me. Sure I think episode 8 would’ve been sick if Kylo & luke clashed sabers before Luke disappeared. But it was technically still a duel. Sort of a fencing meets the matrix kinda duel.
    And I love Rey/ren together. Episode 9 the weakest outta the three still gave us an epic few scenes of Ben.
    I love the sequels and always will. And I totally understand and respect if you disagree with me that’s ok they are just films at the end of the day for entertainment (:
    7 = ultimate og sw nostalgia fest for OT fans from ‘77-83. B+
    8 = anti nostalgia and a rebirth of Luke miring King Arthur. B+
    9 = a lesser version of episode 6 with great action. Straight up popcorn film. C-!
