Kylo Ren Is Adorkable

The reylo pipeline

To me, the Skywalker story has always felt like something bigger.

It began with Anakin, a child whose birth was surrounded by mystery and the Force itself.

Over three generations, the Skywalkers became intertwined with the fate of the galaxy. They shaped wars, inspired hope, fell into darkness, and fought their way back to the light. Their choices changed lives.

Ben Solo was the last Skywalker by blood. His ending has never felt complete to me.

Rey carrying the Skywalker name is meaningful, but her deepest connection was not to Luke or Leia, the generation before her. It was to Ben Solo through the Dyad. With him gone, Rey was left alone once again.

And that is where I felt something was missing. Hope.

The very thing that has always stood at the heart of Star Wars, just as the Skywalkers have. A story that taught us that no matter how far someone has fallen, they can still choose the light.

Darth Vader made that choice in the end.

Ben Solo did too.

But while Vader's story reached its conclusion, Ben's felt as if it were just beginning. And then it stopped.

I'm not saying I need a simple happy ending. I'm saying that a family that has been at the heart of this saga for decades deserves a conclusion worthy of everything that came before.

Stand together. Die together.

Redemption [2/5]

Darth Vader's redemption was completed through sacrifice. His story had been told, and his final act brought it full circle.

Ben Solo's redemption had only just begun when he sacrificed himself for Rey.

To me, redemption is not the moment someone decides to change. It's what comes after.

Ben Solo recognized his mistakes. He chose the light. He chose compassion over fear and suffering.

But what comes next?

How will he live with that choice?

How will he make amends?

Who will he become?

These are the questions that linger… and why his story feels unfinished.

Redemption isn't just about dying for the right thing. It's about learning to live with that choice and becoming someone new.

Ben Solo never got that chance.

I think this matters not only for his character, but also for the message behind his story. Many people make mistakes. Many people lose their way.

The important part is finding the strength to change and then learning how to live with it.

Episode X alone won't be the sole solution to Star Wars' problem, though. The franchise also needs to bring back its most beloved and recognizable characters to get viewers to show up to the theater. Putting Rey in a new trilogy with a bunch of new and unestablished characters wouldn't be a recipe for success, it would be a major gamble. Setting Rey on a quest to find Ben Solo, arguably the most popular character in the sequel trilogy that she had the most chemistry with, would be a much safer bet.

Simon Kinberg is reportedly leading the effort to make a new Star Wars trilogy that has been widely speculated to be Episodes X, XI, and XII continuing Rey Skywalker's story. That new trilogy would be the perfect opportunity to bring Ben Solo back. The franchise already needs to have Rey rebuild the Jedi Order and start to shape the galaxy in the wake of the First Order and New Republic's destruction. She'll need all the help she can get, and Episode X could easily include Ben Solo in the list of her allies.
