Kylo defeated Finn and disarmed him. But Rey took up Skywalker's saber. Rejecting Kylo's invitation to show her the ways of the Force, she attacked him – and Kylo found he was no match for her power and rage. Rey defeated him, and Kylo escaped Starkiller Base before its destruction.
Of all people, Hux rescued him! (Bet he long regretted that choice!) But since Snoke had ordered Hux to bring Kylo to him, and he was a faithful servant of the First Order, he did it.
The base and planet were ultimately destroyed by a Resistance attack due to a weak point exploited by pilot Poe Dameron, causing the implosion of the entire planet as the superweapon was firing upon the Resistance base on D'Qar. The stored stellar energy then expanded, causing the planet to turn into a star.
While traveling through hyperspace, a shuttle carrying Hux and Ren crashed on a terrestrial forested planet. They survived, however, due to Ren's command of the Force, although the dark warrior admitted that Hux's survival was entirely accidental on his part.
How Kylo Ren Escaped Starkiller Base - Star Wars Explained
Why does General Hux hate Kylo Ren?
Hux was likely jealous of Kylo for being so close to Snoke, or perhaps he saw Kylo's inner conflict as pathetic. But either way, everything changed after the Supreme Leader was killed. In the aftermath of Kylo and Rey's fight and the destruction of their capital ship, Hux arrived to find Snoke's body in the rubble.
The Commandant Brendol Hux that we meet in The Mandalorian is actually the father of General Armitage Hux, the villain featured in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Both bases could take each other out, but the Death Star might actually be the better of the two thanks to its higher functionality and more reliable fuel source in relation to the power it requires.
Phasma approached TN-3465 and ordered her to follow Rivas in a two-seat TIE/sf space superiority fighter, eventually following Rivas to the nearby Luprora. The Millennium Falcon and the remainder of the Resistance fleet managed to escape Starkiller Base as it erupted into a star.
In Star Wars, Starkiller Base was a weapon used by the First Order to destroy multiple planets at once. It destroyed the five planets, Hosnian Prime, Hosnian, Raysho, Cardota, and Courtsilius. Starkiller Base, really the planet Ilum, was later destroyed by the Resistance.
Kylo Ren dies on Kef Bir (the ocean moon of Endor) shortly after Rey deals a mortal wound during a lightsaber duel on the wreckage of the second Death Star. Though Rey Force-heals him, saving his life physically, this blow, coupled with the memory of his mother and father, destroys the man known as “Kylo Ren” forever.
Luke Skywalker eventually had the lightsaber in his possession after Yoda's death in 4 ABY. Five years later, he offered the weapon to Grogu in a choice against obtaining beskar armor. However, Grogu chose the beskar armor over the lightsaber and went back to Din Djarin.
It was believed that Grogu would eventually become a victim of Kylo Ren's destruction of Luke's Jedi Order. However, The Book of Boba Fett revealed that Grogu chose to follow the Way of the Mandalorian rather than become a Jedi, sparing him from Kylo Ren's wrath.
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. Also, Han was telling him that Snoke was using him, but one of the reasons he killed him was to impress Snoke.
Subject 1138, known informally as "Starkiller," was a clone created as a result of the death of his template, Galen Marek, the original Starkiller who died while saving the leaders of the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
At first, Phasma gets the upper hand, knocking Finn into a pit. Finn emerges unharmed from the pit, riding its elevator; he knocks Phasma down, breaking the visor of her helmet, and exposing part of her face around the left eye. The floor crumbles beneath Phasma, and she falls into the flames below.
When the First Order annihilated the New Republic in J.J. Abrams' The Force Awakens (2015), Starkiller Base blew up the galactic capital Hosnian Prime rather than Coruscant. Lucasfilm executive Hidalgo was recently asked on Twitter about the decision to make Hosnian Prime the capital in Episode VII.
It's a common misconception that 17 year-old Starkiller/Galen Marrek was MORE powerful than Darth Vader. He wasn't. There were two big factors in Starkiller's victory against Vader: He was his teacher.
Galen Marek, better known as Starkiller, was the main protagonist of the Legends games before Disney bought Lucasfilm. He displayed incredible control of the Force, from moving a Star Destroyer to defeating both Vader and Palpatine in succession.
According to many sources, Kylo Ren is about 29 or 30 while Rey is 19. Rey was born eleven years after the Battle of Endor. Kylo Ren was probably conceived right after the Battle of Endor, by Han and Leia. This explains the age difference.
For years, some fans assumed that he knows Kylo Ren has betrayed Snoke and wants to kill him for it. However, his past actually shows that this is a moment he sees as his golden opportunity. If he kills Kylo right there, he will no longer have anyone above him and he can become the new Supreme Leader.
