In the story of Star Wars, Kylo Ren is the son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, born from their union after the episode 6. As his mother and his uncle Luke, Kylo Ren developed deep links with the Force, and when he was enough old to learn, Luke took him as an apprentice, with other disciples, hoping to create a new generation of Jedi, and perhaps revive the great Jedi Order from the ashes. Unfortunately, an evil lord called Snoke, managed to bribe Kylo Ren, making him fall into the dark side, and took him as an apprentice. That's at this moment that Ben Solo, took the name of Kylo Ren and let himself sink slowly into the darkness, by taking example of his grandfather, the legendary Darth Vader.
On the Starkiller base, as the squad of the resistance attack the first order to try to destroy the main canon, Kylo Ren finds his father, Han Solo, came to save Rey, but also to try to bring him back in the good side of the Force. Initially, Kylo feels shared, wondering if he would be enough strong. Han said he is ready to help, and Kylo accept, but not like Han would have believed. With his lightsaber, Kylo kills his father, under the horrified eyes of Chewbacca, Rey and Finn, powerless in the situation. And that's without remorse that Kylo watching Han fall into the void, disappearing forever into the mists of the base.
Later, Kylo finds Finn and Rey in the forest to prevent their escape. At first it was Finn who engages in combat with lightsaber against Ren, but despite the injury of Kylo inflicted by Chewie, Finn is quickly defeated and severely wounded in the spine. But under the astonished gaze of Kylo, it's Rey who gets the lightsaber with the Force which manifests itself more and more into her. Kylo then fights against it in a violent struggle still, and even after attempting to bribe her, promising to teach her the way of the Force, Kylo is defeated and wounded by Rey. It is not known what happened to him after the destruction of Starkiller, but we can think that he survived and joined his master, Snoke.
One of the most interesting points of Kylo Ren is his personality. He's a tortured character with a tragic past, corrupt from an early age by an evil spirit, who uses him for his powers. Many people have unjustly accused by saying that Kylo Ren was a villain "weak" and even "ridiculous". I disagree. Kylo Ren is young, and as said Snoke at the end of the film, he has not finished his training. Ren still feels at times the attraction of light, tearing him in half, one side wanting to close eyes and remain with Snoke, and another, wondering if he really does the good choice. And that's what I find really interesting with Kylo Ren. We don't know which side he'll finally choose in the end. Leia thinks that somewhere there's still good in him, and I think also.
One of the weaknesses of Kylo is his too great confidence in him. We see that he feels omnipotent, that he believes no one can defeat him, and that is precisely what plays tricks on him throughout the film. He thinks that no one can resist his powers of persuasion, and Rey manages to resist. He thinks she can not win against him with a lightsaber, and she defeated him. I think over time, Kylo will learn from his mistakes, he will become more vigilant but even more strong, determined and evil, especially under the influence of Snoke.
For his personality, his story, to have become the new villain for the new Star Wars trilogy, and one of the icons of the episode 7, Kylo Ren deserves its place in the list.
See you next time, in a galaxy far, far away.
