Ben solo is the most interesting character in star wars. That's it. I said it.

It just hurts my heart! He was manipulated by a pervert magician and died!

Wow it’s amazing how Palpy constructed all of this. Putting the dark visions into Luke’s head. Presumably causing the Force storm to frame Ben for destroying the temple. Being the dark voice in Ben’s head. Snoke. And he’s probably behind the Knights of Ren as well especially considering they became his guards after Ben defected in TROS. ST Palpy might be more kiniving than he was in the Prequels. Also Palpy let’s Kylo come to him unguarded at the beginning to TROS knowing he wouldn’t kill him because Kylo basically has Stockholm Syndrome at this point.

I would not mind a Disney plus mini series about this.

I just realize how Kylo almost always fights like a calm Jedi despite being a dark side user

I was so extremely disturbed by Snoke but I really want to see more to see how he behaved before he began to abuse Ben. It's obvious Ben thinks he has no friends other than him.

Ah man, something about that image of Snoke, welcoming Ben with open-arms , inside that creepy space bio-dome sent a chill through my body

Something I really want to see in this comic series is Kylo Ren attempting to bleed his Kyber Crystal.

8:35 « I like Tai. He is a in-universe Bendemptionist. »😂👌 My heart... My poor Benny-boy😭😭😭 Why did he have to die in TROS? And what the hell is Snoke wearing? It’s CREEPY!😅

What really bothers me about this is that none of this is clear in the movies. People really HATE Kylo Ren and Reylo. Twitter is a dumpster fire rn bc of how much people hate Reylo, but there’s so much they don’t know. The novelizations provide so much more context and nuance, and now these comics will too. The fact that he didn’t kill his fellow Jedi classmates is huge, it clears him of a lot and proves even further how sick Palpatine was. I love that we have so much more to read and preoccupy ourselves with now that the sequel trilogy is over, but casual fans won’t ever know who Ben Solo actually was. They see him as a whiny bitch boy lmao and I don’t entirely blame them. I did too, until I learned more about him, and now he’s my favourite character in all of Star Wars. I just feel like the sequel trilogy didn’t do Ben Solo justice, and with an actor like Adam Driver, it’s so much wasted potential.

So for anyone who's worried that Reylo has ended for good, I found a Tumblr post by millennium-eagle that goes into considerable detail on why Ben is not really dead, he's just hanging in some kind of Limbo/Purgatory. He's stuck between life and death in the WBW (World Between Worlds) and Rey needs to go and get him back, since the Dyad is not complete. Edit: it's called Hope Is Like The Sun

From the TROS Visual Dictionary: *The knights wear gifted to Ben Solo by Snoke* *After a gruelling trial Kylo Ren emerged to lead them* I think Charles Soule will reveal this in the next few issues. I imagine Snoke will bring Ren and Ben together, they will fight where Ben is then broken and turned by hate and rage because of his opponent and after slaying Ren with that, he then becomes Kylo Ren and the master. The dictionary also says that the knights could be compared to the Inquisitors in a way. And after TROS I'm wondering if JJ was even aware of this and if he was he probably ignored it determined to do his own thing.

Can’t wait to get my hands on this comic it sounds like this mini series is going be really good and also sad since we see his fall to the dark side. Still don’t get why some people hate Ben/Kylo’s character :/ but oh well guess you cant please everyone thats why some hate reylo as well *shrugs*

This story should be put into an animated series.

Finn, definitely not liking this post 😂

Great start for the new year, I can’t wait for more videos of The Rise of Kylo Ren, to keep celebrate the life of Ben Solo. 💕

I always loved Kylo, after reading this I love him more... here I go getting angry about TROS again!

I spent my New Years Eve arguing with a friend about whether Kylo is an emo teenager or not. True story. 😑🤣

Why could this story not be told in a TV show or movie?! 😭 Its so great!

I really loved this first issue. I hope that this series can help make up for my disappointment in episode 9. Anyways, thanks for the breakdown! Cheers 👌

Wait, there is a * Comic Series * full of Kylo Ren stories, drawn in the likeness of Adam Driver ?!? YES, please !

I just finished watching TROS for the third time and I keep hoping the climax and end will turn out differently. We should have listened more in TLJ especially when Luke says, “This isn’t going to go the way you think.” 🙁🌈💖😃 Btw, Happy New Year 🎆🎊 and I’m looking forward to more videos. Thanks AT-AT Chat

Starting out the year right with another Kylo Ren video while you do that I’m getting ready to go to my third viewing of Rise of Skywalker and I’m pumped even though this is my third time but we’ll see if third time is a charm (This is tradition for all Star Wars movies for me in theaters) Anyway happy new year everyone well wishes good health and happiness and Star Wars

I hate how Palpatine killed all of the jedi. They should have had Palpatine start screaming at him with Luke's, vaders, snokes, and Palpatines voice. Telling him to finsh what he started, do what Vader once did. Dew it come on. Ben it's what I want! Then Ben starts screaming and running into the temple.

They need to make this into an animated series. It's too monumental to just make into a comic.

Yes! I was waiting for this. Nice video, great chapter, amazing comic

I really appreciate that they are filling in the gaps that lead Ben to the dark side but it really does break my heart that this character didn't have a chance. He obviously has both the, as you put it, arrogance of Han but also the compassion of both his parents. It just sucks he had to die given all these details. Although part of me wonders if Adam Driver didn't intentionally request his character's death similarly to how Harrison Ford wanted Han to die originally.

I think it’s interesting that, seemingly Palpatine destroyed the temple, but he didn’t do it until he could find a way to blame it on someone else and keep his identity a secret. He must have really feared Luke discovering he was still around.

Love your review. Enjoying your story telling style. So Luke failed Ben, put his head in the ground, and consistently failed Ben his whole life. At the end of Last Jedi Kylo asks if Luke has come to forgive him when it should have been the other way around. Luke misses the point and opportunity completely- and nothing is accomplished except that Luke dies in order to buy a few minutes time for the resistance to flee.

Finna binge watch all ur vids dude ur commentary is great

Good evening everyone here is an update on today of my third viewing.... I got to say I think I enjoy this film a little more and see it for what it really is granted I still wish some parts of the film took their time instead of being so quick to jump from one scene after the next. I guess I wanted it to be more like Return of the King given it's almost three hour gap and I think over time once the blu ray release comes out I'll like it a little more but there's still some things that I still wish could have been dealt with better and I think a lot of it had to with making the deadline for the December 2019 release because they wanted to keep up with the tradition of having a Star Wars release every two years in the month of December. But that's just me. But I left all my beef behind and just enjoyed myself and took advantage of it because this is the last time in probably the next two years that I'll be watching a Star Wars movie in theaters but at least now in a few months I'll get to own it forever. And yeah the ending is still a bummer it's bittersweet and doesn't feel like it should be the true ending, it's still unsettling for a lot of people. But lately for me now that some time has past I learned not to let the ending of the film bother me or make me as sad as I was a few days before going to my first showing. I stopped worrying how each viewing would make me feel , or anytime I pondered about it randomly and just let myself reconnect and embrace my love for Reylo and Ben Solo and in my own way keep him with me. In fact I bought a wolf calendar today and the front cover had a wolf standing on top of a rock looking mighty and majestic and it looks the wind is blowing in his direction and he looked a lot like Ben Solo on the cover of Vanity Fair. I always compare Ben Solo to wolves and every day when I look at my new calendar and change the month I'm looking at Ben Solo. Yeah I know kind of weird but it's a nice feeling.

Thanks so much for this, Nick. And happy 2020 (and beyond) to you and yours! 🎆

This comic is just great and would have been awesome flash back for about 20 min instead of canto bites in episode 8. I like parts of 8 canto bites was a waste bc holdor would have told him the plan. That was dumb but take that out add this to 8 and make Luke not grumpy at least after he touched the saber and 8 be just epic. And the first part would have Ben cool flash back for knights of ren in episode 7 instead of the scene where Han finds the falcon. He should have been at resistance base and Rey fin find there way there with bb 8 has a tracker or something.

I love this comic already. Ben Solo is my favorite character in the sequel trilogy and I can't wait to get more content about him.

Man you’re videos are so so good

Kylo Ren/Ben Solo is one of my favourite Star Wars characters! LIKE

i saw a comment once that compared the tragedy of ben to the story of thomasin in "the witch". don't know if you've seen the movie, but these comics are really supporting that idea complete with snoke playing the role of black phillip, creepy undertones and all.

Like before it started love your content it’s my work out genre for utter power

Happy new year

The first time I read this comic everything started to make sense. Ben's story becoming Kylo Ren is huge should have been a prequel to the last trilogy. Why did I have to read all of the novelisations, these comic books and so much more to find out why Ben/Kilo Ren turned away from his family? Tai was right about Ben but of course he couldn't live Ben couldn't have anyone believe in him

Looking back at Rise of Skywalker and the Rise of Kylo Ren things makes sense. Kylo Ren was a manipulated victim.

I love this comic, it gaves us a look into ren's mind, and kinda confirmed something I thought about, ren's identity, I always thought ren had a problem to find who he is. Luke, leia and han wanted him to be the jedi master like obi wan, snoke wanted him to be a dark side wielder like his grandfather, both sides of the force tore him apart til he had hard time to find out who he is

Thanks for the explanation man. I never caught that the surviving brother was killed cause he wasn't force-sensetive. I didn't realize that the "shadow" was a reference to the force/dark side. I thought Ren was just being erratic.

I love these videos

I wonder if Snoke or Palpatine pushed Luke to turn on Ben by playing on his anxieties?

So good

Yeah the comic is so good. It makes me mad we didnt get any of it in the movies

I think Ben may have summoned that force storm that destroyed the temple, he was screaming at the temple and all of a sudden red clouds form and lightning storm hits it...I honestly don’t think Palpatine did that, I think this was the first time Ben truly let the dark side in and all that anger came out of him causing the force storm...him saying “what” only shows us he didn’t mean to do it, but it makes more sense than Palpatine doing that from across the galaxy, in his extremely weakened state...

New sub alert!

We need this to be adapted into a mini series

thank you

I’d love to see a tv show about the knights of Ren

How do they not know Luke is alive? Why can't they sense his presence in the Force? These are bad Jedi.

What I think happened that Ben Solo did cause the lightning storm that destroyed the temple, but he didn't want to do it and only realised what he did in the last second when it was too late (or at least that's what I think he meant when he said he didn't want this). I think it makes sense since we saw him causing explosions with the Force in his rage (remember the dark side cave on Dagobah?) and why would he say he didn't want this if he didn't do it? But anyways that's my own headcanon

Is this comic out already?! All my my local bookstores in Canada at its only available for preorder in April!

does anyone know where i could get this comic? id love to read it myself before watching the video:)

wow...now we all know the truth...ben didn’t destroy the temple

I'll buy this!

Best comic to come out since Kanan

The real question is WTF is on Snoke's head is that some kind of toupee?!

Snoke looks like he would be called Karen with that hat on his head

I might have been the only one who wanted them to keep this kinda of father son mentality, so in the second movie when Kylo kneels and all that snoke instead of insulting and berating kylo he talks to him more like a disappointed father. Something more like "No i am not angry at you Ren, i am disappointed. When we first meet i thought i had found what all masters wanted. A apprentice, a teacher, a worthy successor. But perhaps i was mistaken." even if it was just snoke manipulating kylo i feel it would make it abit more intriguing and it would make kylo perhaps a bit more tragic. Also the night buzzard is the best ship in the new cannon. A diesel truck made to roll the coal in space.

What comics are these from

I actually think it was Ben that conjured up the storm to destroy the temple. He was fillies with rage and confusion, and couldn’t control his anger. He didn’t want to destroy the temple, but he did cause it

Now we know...the rest of the story. Well, some of it.

'right after his uncle Luke Skywalker tried to strike him down' Maybe from Ben's perspective, but it isn't true (or entirely helpful) to phrase it like this. Luke never 'tried' or made an attempt on Ben's life. He thought, fleetingly, it was the just thing to do for the greater good of the galaxy. Then, immediately, realized he was wrong. Ben awoke to an ignited lightsaber and assumed the worst, as anyone might. It was an intrusion for Luke to look inside Ben's head while asleep. And an emotional failure to react by igniting his lightsaber. But Luke is not a cold murderer or an executioner, and he would have never done it. But let's acknowledge Luke's POV and struggle. How hard would it be to see these atrocities committed by your nephew and pupil? We have to imagine Ben's going to get into some pretty ruthless work when he joins the Knights (especially based on their portrayal here), he goes on to murder family friends (Lor San Tekka), and order the massacre of civilians with the First Order. It's a tragic sequence of events with a lot of emotional weight and nuance: the consequences these characters face from their decisions in high-stake situations. I'm glad these themes are being explored in Star Wars.

Why was all this important stuff not in the movies

Wait luke caused his disfigurement? Why did all the snoke clones look disfigured already in rise of skywalker?

BRO PUT A SPOILER WARNING FOR THE ROSW ENDING YOU RUINED IT FOR ME!! I just found your channel and I’ve been loving it until now.

Heard that Disney is trying to Retcon this..😕

Ok, today i watched TRoS again. I don't know if i accepted every dissappointment. But i actually enjoyed it pretty much this time.

I loved the entire sequel trilogy.

sos noke was clones by palps after luke fucked up his face?

Sup

Omg what the fuck snoke looks creepy af

Kuruk being the weakest es two times stronger than the grand inquisitor trudgen middle class knight as strong as maul in the clone war savage oppress ark

So Ben was such a good Jedi they couldn't believe it and tried to kill him? Sorry, I don't see Luke doing that unless he was under some sort of force mind control. If that turns out to be what they say happens, it should have been in the movies in some way... This is what holds star wars back, just making shit up without explanation just so you can explain it in New random comics to make some more sense (or less) of this convoluted mess... :/

Very tragic nuanced character that is too good for Disney Star Wars

Voe? Ty? Hennix? What liberal non binary writers do they have at lucas film...god give me shaak-ti, aayla secura, kit fisto, ki adi mundi etc

I don't like Comic authors fleshing out the Star Wars universe. Ugh!
