Kylo Ren and Rey had a connection well before the events ofThe Force Awakens.Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren #4 by Charles Soule has confirmed the start of the controversial Force Dyad. The sequel trilogy is more than a little divisive amongst hardcoreStar Warsfans and the Force Dyad is one of the more controversial elements of the trilogy. The concept of each character representing the Dark and Light side of the Force was introduced in 2015 and then further explored inThe Last JediandThe Rise of Skywalker.
InStar Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren #4, we finally see how Ben Solo transformed into the villainous Kylo Ren. The process begins when two Jedi Tai and Voe attempt to bring Solo back to the Light after the destruction at Luke’s Jedi Temple. However, Solo is already in deep with the Knights of Ren and pulling him back proves to be near impossible, even with glimmers of confusion within the young Solo.
Ren can feel the questioning within Ben Solo and uses the Force to snap Tai’s neck, which sets Solo off in a rage. Instantly, Solo is brought over to the Dark Side as he goes on tokill Ren with a Lightsaber and Force lightning. It’s during this time that Solo’s fragile mindset and anger sends a ripple throughout the galaxy. Rey is pictured on Jakku with junk boss Unkar Plutt asking, “Huh, did you feel that? Feels cold.” Rey clearly has no idea what’s going on, but this scene proves that Ben Solo and Rey were connected much earlier on.
Rey wasn’t the only one to feel that ripple through the galaxy. Leia Organa feels her songo to the Dark sideand it deeply hurts her. However, the message is also sent loud and clear to Snoke and Emperor Palpatine, who know that the plan is already working. AsThe Rise of Skywalkerteaches us, Palpatine has been behind everything since the start, even helping the Force Dyad along to ultimately lure Rey to him. There’s a lot going on under the surface and, unfortunately, the movie only really scratches the surface.
Kylo Ren and Rey were destined tobring balance to the Force. That much was teased inThe Force Awakens, though it took some twists and turns to get there. WhileThe Rise of SkywalkerandThe Last Jediweren’t what everybody wanted, the backstory underneath everything is starting to make more sense to hardcore fans, which is pretty much howStar Warscanon has worked for some time now. From here, it’s unclear where the franchise will go, but it is believed that the story of Rey and Ben Solo is finished on the big screen. you may head over to the officialMarvelwebsite to orderStar Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren #4.
