After Kylo's confrontation with Rey in The Rise of Skywalker, he's left to ponder all his decisions and regrets while surrounded by the ruins of the Death Star. Harrison Ford then makes his surprise return as Han Solo, who forgives his son and provides Ben Solo the closure he needs to leave Kylo Ren behind.
But this is actually a very sad reason because it actually had the opposite effect, and he deeply regretted his decision to kill his father and it haunted him for the rest of the trilogy.
Han Solo's memory encourages his son to return to the light. Han had a loving relationship with his son, prior to Ben's fall to the dark side. However, Han's relationship with Ben, while loving, was flawed.
In the Star Wars sequel trilogy, Kylo Ren -- also known as Ben Solo -- believed he needed to kill his parents in order to remain on the dark side. While he had mixed feelings about Han Solo and Leia Organa, his repeated hesitation and conflict demonstrated he still cared for them.
Likewise, Ben Solo's redemption from his darkness as Kylo Ren was very similar in the sequel trilogy's Rise of Skywalker. Following Rey's defeat of the resurrected Emperor, Ben used the last of his essence and power in the Force to bring Rey back from the brink of death, an act that cost him his own life.
For all we know, Leia specifically channeled her own life force into Ben, helping Rey along and sacrificing herself in the process. That may be why Leia finally dies and fades away at the moment Ben revives Rey and fades away himself. When Ben dies, any tether Leia still had to the living world went with him.
Kylo Ren made everyone hate him when he committed patricide and killed Han. Han wasn't the father he needed to be for his son, but he did try to make amends in this moment and help his son find a way forward. This forgiveness and dedication for a fresh start was repaid with murder.
Ben Solo, son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, was once a promising Jedi apprentice taught by his uncle Luke Skywalker. But under the influence of the mysterious Snoke, Ben rejected Luke's teachings and destroyed his temple, leaving with several of his uncle's students and killing the rest.
The Rise of Skywalker novelization insisted the kiss was not romantic, explaining that it was “a kiss of gratitude, acknowledgment of their connection, celebration that they'd found each other at last”, but when looking at the context and what their connection was like since The Last Jedi, the kiss between Rey and Ben ...
He is a Wookiee—a tall, hairy, highly intelligent species originating from the fictional planet Kashyyyk. He first appears in the original film trilogy as the loyal friend of the smuggler Han Solo. He is also the co-pilot of Han's starship, the Millennium Falcon. Chewbacca is portrayed by Peter Mayhew in five films.
Ben Solo was a human male Force-sensitive who fell to the dark side of the Force as Kylo Ren—the "Jedi Killer," master of the Knights of Ren, and ultimately the Supreme Leader of the First Order—but he returned to the light side and the Jedi shortly before his death.
Why does Kylo Ren punch his blaster wound during his lightsaber duel with Finn? To generate pain and thus adrenaline. The Dark Side of the Force feeds off of such things; anger, pain, fear. Earlier in the movie we'd seen Chewie blast some poor Stormtrooper and send him flying despite his armor.
So, let's just get the super obvious out of the way. Yes, that was the character formerly known as Darth Maul you saw in hologram form at the end of Solo: A Star Wars Story. The villainous character was first introduced in 1999's The Phantom Menace.
Why Do You Think Kylo Ren Was So Obsessed With Rey? He saw her as a useful tool for his rise to power. He was intrigued by the mystery surrounding her. He wanted closure for his defeat at her hands.
I suggest that when Ren's emotional outbursts, impulsivity, and unstable self-concept are looked at more closely, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that he suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder and that perhaps he is simply not just a cold-hearted villain after all.
Summary. Rey gained knowledge and skills through her connection with Kylo Ren, allowing her to tap into his training and skills. Kylo Ren was wounded by Chewbacca's bowcaster, which he believed inhibited his ability to defeat Rey.
Darth is a title reserved for Lords of the Sith. Ben/Kylo was not a Sith. He was the leader of the Knights of Ren - hence the 'Ren' suffix. Darth is an honorific granted only to Dark Lords of the Sith.
Kylo Ren was no Sith. He was a dark Jedi at best,a dark Force user but he never became a Sith Lord. He also pretty much paled in comparison to the Sith Lords we've seen before him,when power is concerned. Nevertheless,he did manage to kill his Master.
It seems that with his last ounce of strength, Ben gave what was remaining of his life energy to save Rey. This was his last sacrifice, effectively acting as redemption to return him to the light side of the Force.
Leia kept Han's medal as a treasured memento of her dead husband. She held it before reaching out to her son, perhaps somehow connecting to Ben and Han's presence in the not-so-living Force. In all honesty, the filmmakers probably recognized the meme nature of the moment.
It's during this experience that Obi-Wan really makes an impact on Leia's life. So, even when she eventually learns his real name, Leia always associated the Jedi Master with Ben rather than Obi-Wan. Inspired by this, it makes sense that she decided to name her son Ben Solo — after Ben Kenobi.
