A change in Star Wars management is all followers must renew hopes of really getting the scrapped Hunt for Ben Solo film to change into a actuality. But when Adam Driver goes to return to provide the son of Han Solo and Leia Organa his very personal film, there’s already one unbelievable story that might do a lot, way more to revive the Star Wars saga to its glory days. And provides followers the precise story they have been ready for.
The Ben Solo Story Followers Really Need is Instructed in ‘Legacy of Vader’
The Sequel To Kylo Ren’s Origin is The Journey Followers By no means Bought To See
At the beginning, there is not any denying the enchantment of Driver’s return for The Hunt for Ben Solo, persevering with the story of the redeemed inheritor to the Skywalker household (regardless of his obvious loss of life in The Rise of Skywalker). But when the motivation is that common audiences nonetheless crave extra of the character, and demand extra insights into his story as outlined or teased within the movies, the reply is not a sequel.
As a substitute, the minds behind Star Wars have the power to provide followers precisely what they need, by filling within the components of Ben Solo/Kylo Ren’s life that they have been disadvantaged of within the sequel trilogy. A seemingly essential chapter in a key character’s journey, which fortunately fell to acclaimed Star Wars author Charles Soule, first explaining how Ben Solo truly turned Kylo Ren earlier than The Drive Awakens, earlier than setting his sights on the hole after The Final Jedi‘s closing moments.
Having beforehand wowed followers along with his 2017 Darth Vader sequence with Giuseppe Camuncoli, earlier than taking on Rise of Kylo Ren with Will Sliney, Soule has distinguished himself as the important thing determine in not simply increasing film canon, however enriching it as effectively. Becoming a member of forces with Luke Ross for Legacy of Vader, Soule explains to StarWars.com that this third sequence is meant to ship the identical expertise for followers:
“I feel each of these labored so effectively partly as a result of they have been set in components of the Star Wars timeline stuffed with unanswered questions on characters the viewers actually loves. This new sequence is not only a mix of these two books, but in addition an opportunity to discover an especially wealthy part of the timeline that is virtually solely open: Kylo Ren’s time as Supreme Chief of the First Order.”
“Kylo is really misplaced at this explicit second. In a really quick span of time, he is confronted two of his most vital mentors in fight (one in every of whom is his uncle), killed his personal father, virtually killed his mom, stolen management of a galaxy-level navy that he has no thought how he’ll use, and naturally, discovered a deep reference to one other Drive-user named Rey. All of that’s swirling round in his emotional matrix, making him deeply unstable, offended, annoyed… harmful.”
The Star Wars Sequels Skipped Over Ben Solo’s Biggest Chapter
Darth Vader is Lacking From The Sequels, However Lastly Will get His Correct Position
The place the movies have been telling Rey’s story greater than Ben Solo’s, there isn’t any understating simply how a lot Star Wars: Legacy of Vader successfully rewrites the Supreme Chief’s story within the months following The Final Jedi. Whereas Rey educated to be a Jedi at Leia’s aspect, it is virtually unimaginable to imagine simply what number of breathtaking, poetic, and ‘dream come true’ moments unfolded in Ben’s mission to unravel the lifetime of his grandfather, Anakin Skywalker.
From returning to Tatooine to face Watto, to main a resistance cell on Naboo, to uncovering the mysteries inside Darth Vader’s Mustafar fortress, it’s virtually an excessive amount of story to suit right into a single movie (however nonetheless achievable). And realizing how The Rise of Skywalker revealed Sheev Palpatine’s feud with the Skywalker household was behind all of it, Ben Solo’s personal path to that closing battle is just too wealthy, too resonant, and too thematically essential to depart out of the film saga.
At the beginning, due to the one particular person Kylo Ren turns to after changing into the chief of the galaxy’s best military:
“He is searching for any type of steerage he can get — even when he will not admit it — and so he turns to only about the one factor he is acquired left, the legacy of his grandfather, the Sith Lord Darth Vader.”
Realizing the sequel trilogy heroes have been being performed as a part of Palpatine’s grasp plan, the conclusion is just half a victory. The Jedi defeat the Sith as soon as and for all, and the galaxy is healthier for it. However as only one voice amongst numerous others, supporting a younger woman he by no means even knew, the position of Anakin Skywalker in Palpatine’s defeat is tremendously diminished. And even then, solely the ‘Jedi’ half of his character partakes in thhe struggle.
Contemplating this is similar trilogy which featured Kylo Ren worshipping the burnt helm of Darth Vader, vowing to realize his grandfather’s mission, that appears like a missed alternative. And it is one straight addressed in Legacy of Vader, from its very title by each single web page of its story. With Palpatine probably pulling the strings on to forge Ben Solo into a brand new Vader, renewing his domination of the Skywalker household, his mission is a failure.
In the long run, Ben is lastly given his likelihood to change into every thing Darth Vader was, because the true ‘Legacy of Vader’… solely to reject it, rewriting the story of his household, and setting the stage for their very own victory over Palpatine. It is the story that Ben Solo deserves to have advised to movie audiences across the globe, and the one Star Wars must make occur earlier than a sequel ever will get off the bottom.
