[31], However, Ren had deeply rooted insecurities that he attempted to conceal by wearing his mask and acting like Vader. [4] Exulting at the prospect of victory,[18] Rey caught his lightsaber and moved to kill him[10] by running his abdomen through with his own blade.[4]. The battle moved outside of the outpost as Solo tried to leave while defending himself from the other students. Solo ultimately succeeded in bringing Rey back to life, though the effort would cost him his own life. In childhood, Ben Solo had unintentionally destroyed objects with the Force when angry. Ren's mysterious connection with Rey grew more powerful with time, until they could see and hear each other across light-years. Ren questioned the capability of Hux's soldiers and training methods, wondering aloud whether the Supreme Leader would be better off using an army of clones[9] as the Galactic Republic[47] and the early Empire had once done. As a result, her world was set aflame as Ren returned to the Star Destroyer in orbit.[65]. Only the threat of Snoke's reprisal for killing his favorite officer prevented Ren from ending Hux's life. Her vision changed into a Force connection with Ren. [66], Ren was aware of Pyre and Tierny's failure to defeat the Colossus resistance[67] and declared that he would not tolerate the existence of any Resistance cell. While in the conference, the creature that the stormtrooper, FN-2187, was chasing turned off the lights, interrupting the conference. Stormtroopers aimed their rifles at her, but did not attempt to intervene. Snoke approved, believing that the new name represented Solo's true nature and would become known to the entire galaxy one day. Ren followed Rey and Finn into the forests outside of the oscillator, as they made their way back to the nearby Millennium Falcon. Rey believed that, without Solo's intervention on Exegol, she would not have defeated her grandfather. Ben Solo was born in Hanna City on the day that the Galactic concordance was signed, between the New Republic and The Galactic Empire. [58] Ren personally oversaw the search for Resistance fugitives at the Black Spire Outpost on Batuu, having traveled to the remote installation via a TIE/es assault shuttle—along with the 709th Legion,[59] elite stormtroopers chosen by Ren himself[60]—after receiving word that Rey had apparently been sighted on Batuu. Height Additional Characters maybe added in later as the story progresses. One stormtrooper, FN-2187, hesitated and ultimately chose not to fire on the civilians, an act that Ren noticed as he could sense his fear before boarding his shuttle.[9]. [7] Ren's inner conflict grew as his Master encouraged him to use the heritage of both the light and the dark,[70] honing Ren into a weapon of the First Order and the archetype of a new kind of dark side user that filled the void left behind when the Sith were destroyed during the Battle of Endor. As a result, he found inspiration in Rey's grandfather Sidious, wanting to be able to embrace a plan so long suffering and painstakingly careful, and being able to do it without feeling tempted by the light. Following their confrontation on the Steadfast, Ren found himself enjoying the experience of seeing Rey in person again, taking little notice of the dead and the injured around him. Though abandoned by Hux, Ren stood his ground and managed to incapacitate the norwood by using the Force to smack its head against a tree. Solo destroyed the entrance of the Jedi outpost, trapping Voe and Tai on Elphrona before continuing to Varnak. He said that he did not want to have to kill her, but he would find her and turn her to the dark side. Please click the dropdown below to see the full list. This helmet also contained a vocal modifier, which lowered the pitch of Ren's voice considerably. Remembering his own death at Vader's hand,[18] Sidious scornfully told Solo that he would fall as the last Skywalker and hurled him into a chasm.[37]. It also served a symbolic purpose, representing the power embodied by Ren's grandfather, yet also "weakness and dependancy" as Vader could not live outside of the mask.[7]. [41] When confronted by his uncle on Crait, Ren's hatred intensified,[24] and he overlooked inconsistencies in Skywalker's illusionary appearance while the Resistance fled.[7]. [18] Listening to the voice of his father and seeing pride and joy in Han's eyes ultimately caused the last vestiges of the persona of Kylo Ren to fade from the mind of Ben Solo.[10]. At the same time, Rey succeeded in destroying her grandfather with the help of the spirits of the Jedi,[18] although the monumental effort left her dead. After a moment, he surrendered to his second thoughts and abandoned the trigger control. Resurrecting the boy he once was, he sets out to find you, not as Kylo Ren but as Ben Solo. Eye color. Meanwhile, The Force Awakens takes place in 34 ABY, and Ben Solo was born in 5 ABY. In his misunderstanding, however, Hennix called Solo a monster and threw his lightsaber at Solo, not realizing that the latter was struggling to keep Voe from falling to her death. [9] He kept a shrine to Vader in his personal chambers aboard the Finalizer, with the charred remains of the Sith Lord's helmet that had been recovered from his funeral pyre on Endor, as both a monument to the dark side's powers and its weakness. Ren was puzzled by the strange connection he felt with Rey during their first encounter. [7] Like Vader before him, Ren believed it was his destiny to rule over the weaker beings of the galaxy. Ren discovered Rey on Takodana and took her prisoner once he realized she had seen the map to Skywalker. Aside from his mother, whose Jedi training was cut short,[7] Solo was the first student in Skywalker's initiative to rebuild the Jedi Order. He even overheard his parents talking about how dangerous he might become. The droid ultimately made it out of the forests and into the hands of the Resistance.[9]. He was determined to show the First Order's true power to the galaxy, and he expected gratitude from them. Lando Calrissian, another surrogate uncle to Solo, discovered a holodisk in Chewbacca's cabin in the Millennium Falcon, revealing images of the Wookiee with a young Ben Solo. It is reprised throughout the film, including in "Kylo Ren Arrives at the Battle. Finally, Rey began to be more strongly resistant to his mental attacks. Ren challenged his uncle Luke Skywalker to single combat, intending to finish what Darth Vader began by killing the last Jedi. This takes place when OC and Ben are in their last year of high school. Quinn was skeptical of their alliance with the Sith Eternal, disdaining the cultists and their beliefs. He was able to evade the Raddus' defenses and destroy the vessel's starfighter hangar,[30] owing to his own talents as a pilot. Her thoughts drifted to Solo while gazing at the planet's twin suns.

He eventually found and repaired an old scout-class TIE fighter. Dameron was brought aboard the Finalizer for interrogation, where he was placed into an interrogation chair. Skywalker recognized that his young nephew possessed Force powers that were already immense, and accepted Solo as his student. Ren replied by saying he wasn't. This tension was particularly palpable with General Armitage Hux, the commander of Starkiller Base, the First Order superweapon capable of destroying entire star systems. [10] Killing the cultists had not been a challenge for Ren; nevertheless the Eye deemed him worthy of claiming the wayfinder in accordance with Vader's wishes. [56], The Supreme Leader made good on his vow to punish any world that showed anything less than absolute loyalty. Deeply frustrated with his family's expectations of himself, Solo used the kyber crystal from his saber to bleed his hatred for the legacy of his family into it, renouncing his origins to the distant Darth Sidious and Snoke's approval. [6] The busy lives of Organa and Han often kept them away from their son, causing Solo to develop a sense of loneliness.[1]. [30], Ren felt that Skywalker was talking about Rey, the old man's supposed "Chosen One. Ren, his temper under control, felt something nearby: something from the planet that should not be on board. [9], Ren ordered for a search of the Millennium Falcon, for the ship had shortly been sighted at the edge of a cliff. [8] During the early rebellion against the Galactic Empire, Chandrila was listed as an Alliance to Restore the Republic safe world. Physical information Reclaiming his identity as Ben Solo, the redeemed Jedi sacrificed himself for Rey at the Battle of Exegol in 35 ABY. [10], Rey grieved for Ben Solo, whose death caused her to feel as though she had lost her other half in the Force. When the duel ended, Rey healed Kylo Ren's wound and confessed that she wanted to take Ben Solo's hand. His wingmen, however, had no such qualms—ever loyal to the First Order, they launched their rockets in Ren's place upon the bridge. Ren continued to pursue Rey in the aftermath of the Battle of Crait, having vowed to destroy her. Pryde, however, supported integration between the two forces, arguing that the Star Destroyer fleet would increase the First Order's range in power by ten-thousand fold, replacing the losses they suffered with the destruction of Starkiller Base, which he held Hux responsible for. [105], For the film's soundtrack, composer John Williams wrote a theme for Kylo Ren that first appears in the track "Main Title and The Attack on the Jakku Village." Solo also activated his weapon, a blue-bladed lightsaber, but remained out of the ensuing fight, as Skywalker instructed him to protect San Tekka. [41] Although he was adamant that Han Solo meant nothing to him,[9] Ren struggled with uncertainty when his father confronted him. Kylo Ren was the subject of Force visions before he was even born. Despite his anger and rage, Ben Solo could not bring himself to strike down the apparitions of his parents, Han Solo and Leia Organa. These lines proved a source of retroactive amusement when The Last Jedi featured a scene in which Ren appears to Rey shirtless and sporting a heavily muscled chest. Despite Ren's actions, his parents missed him and longed for the return of the boy they named Ben Solo. Enforcing a zero-tolerance policy on espionage and treason, Ren had the prisoner, the Ovissian miner Boolio, hauled before him to face summary execution by decapitation. [9] Even though she defeated him, Ren had sensed that their destinies were somehow intertwined. Ren watched the lightsaber fall out of Rey's grip and shut off, sliding on the floor back to its owner's feet. Kylo Ren confronted the Benathy decades after their battle with his grandfather. Ren returned to the Steadfast and found Rey when he landed his TIE whisper in the hangar. He turned about face and said he had been waiting for this eventuality. Ren and Hux argued before being attacked by an Acklay. [7] After Solo became Kylo Ren, he studied both Jedi and arcane dark side lore, using these contradictory teachings for greater power. [4] As Ren prepared to confront her, he realized that killing his father had not eliminated his pull to the light because Rey remained as his light. In developing the character, original screenwriter Michael Arndt, whose screenwriting duties were taken over by Abrams and co-writer Lawrence Kasdan when Arndt departed the project, said the character's backstory came about because the writers needed a rationale for the heroes of the original trilogy to have separated after the events of the 1983 film Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi. In the end, Finn, who nonetheless landed one blow on Ren's right shoulder, was no match for Ren's power. The shuttle ramp lowered revealing Captain Phasma and a squad of stormtroopers, leading to the norwoods' immediate death by blaster fire. Covered by three wingmen, until the third pilot was quickly destroyed, the dark apprentice intercepted the Resistance's MC85 Star Cruiser Raddus, capital ship of the fleet. Snoke approved the general's request, causing Ren to question the Supreme Leader's faith in Hux. This confirmed the rumors that Ren had heard about Exegol, particularly the Sith Eternal cultists who secretly resided there and continued to worship the Sith despite the demise of the last Sith Lords. Human[8]Jawa[9]Mon Calamari[9]Pantoran[10]Rodian[9]Trandoshan[9]Twi'lek[9] Rey kissed Solo during his final moments, acknowledging their bond as a dyad for the first time. [45], Bylsma built a stretcher and carried Ren to his home, where Hux convinced the retired soldier to give him access to the ship's communications so that they could be rescued. According to Skywalker, however, strength had nothing to do with how the Force worked. [38] Ren fought alongside his stormtroopers on the front lines of the battlefield. Then he sensed Han Solo. [31] Ren struck down a vision of Skywalker on Dagobah without hesitation or regret. After regaining consciousness, Ren played along with Hux's deception until a shuttle arrived to retrieve them. The memory of Han Solo helped his son, Ben Solo, overcome the dark persona of Kylo Ren. Appearances Star Wars: Forces of Destiny—Rey (imagination only) [30] Ren, who saw Rey as an ally in destroying the past he hated,[5] wanted the former scavenger to join him permanently. Ren informed General Hux of the new development and left the recovery of the droid in the hands of the military. [18] As she demanded the wayfinder, Ren claimed she had proven she was not a Jedi, and like him, could never return to Leia Organa. The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. However, the siblings Kel and Eila survived the destruction of their village and fled Tehar after stowing away on a cargo ship. Recalling his Knights also motivated Ren to reforge his mask as a symbol of his place among their ranks. Ren understood Rey's feelings of solitude and abandonment; having experienced such emotions as well, he was all too familiar with the psychological effect they had on a person in the long term. Although Rey called him a liar,[30] she sensed no deception from Ren. "[65], Ren visited another world that the First Order subjugated on his behalf. However, in time he grew more accustomed to his position as head of the First Order, as well as, his undisputed authority in particular. [33] When defending himself from Skywalker the night his Master came close to murdering him, Ben Solo was able to telekinetically collapse an entire hut on Skywalker without harming himself while they simultaneously clashed blades. The Knights refrained from killing him outright, as they were confident in their ability to defeat a single opponent who appeared defenseless before them. Ren reached out towards the vessel using his own powers trying to pull the transport out of Rey's grip. [18][46] Having honed his fighting skills on the battlefield, Ren had little respect for his rival, General Hux, as a warrior. Rey avoided the question and asked why he had not taken the opportunity to kill her when he had the chance. Ren remained at war within himself, having sustained hidden emotional wounds in addition to physical ones. Instead of its original placement, they moved the scene later in the film to foreshadow Han Solo's death. [8] He had black hair, light skin, and brown eyes[9] that appeared ancient to his father when Solo was a child. Abrams described the table's contents as ashes of the enemies that Ren killed. He was wrong on all counts, according to Skywalker: the war had just begun, the Rebellion was reborn, and he would not die as the last of the Jedi. Ren also suspected that, in the course of Solo's journey with the Knights, the former Jedi would eventually make a sacrifice that was worthy of the Knights of Ren. [24] Snoke tasked Ren with destroying any remnants of the Jedi, including his own uncle, whose attempt to restore the Jedi Order was thwarted when Ren betrayed him and the other Jedi students. With that he used his powers to collapse the entrance, trapping his remaining pursuers inside.[32]. The years that Hux spent jockeying for power against Ren ultimately worked against the general, his authority being superseded not only by Ren, but Pryde as well. Blinded by overwhelming rage and desperate to end his pain, he succumbed to the temptation of killing her. [61], Ren was in command of the Resurgent-class Star Destroyer that captured a Resistance Intersystem Transport Ship. Determined to sever all ties to his past, Ren killed his father, assassinated his master, and conquered vast regions of the galaxy as the new Supreme Leader. Chandrila[1] Solo saw this as a betrayal that confirmed his worst fears about his family. [24], The bond between Ren and Rey was unprecedented in its strength and raw power. [30] He reached out again, but could not feel Organa anywhere. [30] After surviving his confrontation with Skywalker, Solo believed that he had killed his Master, a feat which caused his confidence to grow and led him to seek Snoke's guidance. Given the name Ben Solo, he was born in 5 ABY, one year after the Battle of Endor, on the planet Chandrila to Princess Leia Organa and General Han Solo, whose busy lives left Ben with feelings of abandonment. Though not yet at the heights of his grandfather's[9] or his uncle's power,[41] Ren's raw strength still gave him powerful abilities with the Force and in combat. [108] Terri Schwartz of IGN praised Driver's performance and said that it "adds great depth to a character who could have come off as one-dimensional. In the last days of the First Order/Resistance War, Darth Sidious offered the Final Order fleet to Ren in return for killing Rey, his granddaughter and the last Jedi. To his frustration, he could see that Rey was still clinging to that futile hope of hers. I’d never heard of Chandrila until now, but in the Star Wars canon, Chandrila is a planet that was the birthplace of both Ben Solo (aka Kylo Ren) and the home world of Mon Mothma. Once the First Order stormtroopers, under the command of Phasma, rounded up the denizens of the village, Ren arrived on the battlefield and confronted San Tekka, lamenting how old the former explorer had become, to which San Tekka replied that Ren's fall to the dark side was far worse. The TIE fighter was eventually shot down after a brief skirmish, and it crash-landed on Jakku. Parodying the show Undercover Boss, Kylo Ren disguises himself as a radar technician named Matt and mingles with the crew of Starkiller Base—including a stormtrooper played by future Star Wars Resistance voice actor Bobby Moynihan—to learn more about what it is like to work on the base. Male[5] Back when he was still Ben Solo, he fought off three of his fellow students on Elphrona. They conversed telepathically while Skywalker and San Tekka talked about the outpost, noting that it may have dated as far back as the High Republic Era, when the Jedi greatly expanded their activity throughout the galaxy. Eventually, the film's editors, Mary Jo Markey and Maryann Brandon, felt that the revelation came too early and it was a waste of a good moment. In addition, he used Ren's heritage to his advantage, informing Bylsma that the man whom the norwoods attacked was, in fact, a fellow son of Alderaan. Hux tried to advise him against what he considered a waste of time, but Ren thrashed the General against the wall with the Force, knocking him unconscious. It had mild seasonal weather and rarely experienced dangerous weather conditions. During their argument, an acklay approached the pair, causing Hux to run for his life while Ren stood his ground. [10] At one point Ren believed that he had made contact with the spirit of his grandfather, as he once beseeched Vader's helmet to "show [him] again, the power of the darkness."[9]. Human[5] (Chandrilan)[6] Ren, who could sense Hux's ambition to kill and replace Snoke, and therefore, deemed him untrustworthy, was certain that his master knew it as well. Concept artist Doug Chiang took "iconic shapes that we know from Star Wars" but put "different material on them—in this case turning them into concrete instead of that slick painted metal." Ren attempted to compensate, but lost control of the starfighter as it tumbled and ripped apart. The differences between the personalities of Solo and Ren, as well as the way they fought as one on the side of the light, convinced Rey that this was how the bond between them was always meant to be. [18][10], Then Ren stopped; from across the galaxy, he sensed his mother use her remaining reserves of strength to send him her love, forgiveness, and hope as she called him to the light. He sensed she still wanted to kill him, and she said it was because she was being hunted by a creature in a mask. Other known locations on Chandrila included the Old Gather-House, the Senate Plaza, and the Silver S… [4], Ren knew from the analysis of Ochi's dagger that Rey would next travel to Kef Bir, an ocean moon located in the Endor system. When Voe and Tai asked what happened to Hennix, Solo told them it didn't matter. They were discussing travel to a planet in the Western Reaches. [28] He kept a calligraphy set filled with Jedi insights[29] in his quarters during his time with Skywalker. He would be in a meditation chamber, where energies from a sun could come into the room and he would consume whatever power was within it. The dark warrior realized that Tekka gave the map to Dameron and ordered that the troopers bring the pilot onto Ren's command shuttle, before giving the order to kill the rest of the villagers. Within a year of Kylo Ren's ascension to supreme power,[3] a mysterious transmission broadcasting the voice of Darth Sidious—the long-dead Galactic Emperor and Dark Lord of the Sith—reached the far corners of the galaxy. Ren and Rey stood back-to-back against the Supreme Leader's vengeful Praetorian Guards. [44], After the conference, Ren transmitted orders to Phasma via private frequency. His mask projected and amplified his voice in a deeper way. Kylo Ren sacrificed everything in his pursuit of power through the dark side, choosing to isolate himself from the people he loved as Ben Solo. In an act of desperation, Solo used the Force to collapse the entire hut on his master. Armed only with a blaster and his own conviction, Solo charged through the cavernous cathedral beneath the citadel, shooting his way through the Sith cultists and elite guards who obstructed his path. On Supreme Leader Snoke's instruction, the new military undertook a major offensive against several of these kingdoms to seize their worlds and resources to fuel their rise. Convinced the Old Empire had been too lenient, Ren adopted a zero-tolerance policy in regard to the Resistance, and as such, he personally decapitated the official. As Ren composed himself from his injury, he made eye contact with Finn and Rey. Ren watched from the bridge of the Finalizer[9] as the weapon's phantom energy[38] left the surface of Starkiller Base and made their way[9] to the Republic's capital of Hosnian Prime,[31] where they destroyed the entire Hosnian system.[9]. Just then, he spotted Resistance X-wings flying past and assaulting the thermal oscillator,[38] hoping to destroy it and set off a chain reaction that would cause the planet to implode before the weapon could destroy D'Qar. It then occurred to Ren that Rey could, in fact, care about him. Ren removed the mask but told Solo that he had destroyed Ben, who Ren thought was weak and foolish, much like his father before him. He ordered the First Order to retreat, as they had what they came for, and their forces left Takodana. Ren believed that if Vader had not succumbed to the light, the Empire would have prevailed. Ren led the First Order's assault on the Resistance's last redoubt, determined to end his mother's movement. He then ordered his ship to be readied, resuming his quest to eradicate the Resistance.[30]. The pilot, who resisted the Force attack, finally was forced to reveal that he had hidden the map inside his BB unit, BB-8, who was likely still on Jakku. [7] Although Ren saw his actions towards Hux as petty, he still enjoyed exerting power at the expense of his former rival. Ren commanded the First Order troops to be on alert for Rey as she began making her way through the base, as he knew that the longer she was able to tap into her powers while escaping, the more dangerous she would become. [18], Shortly after Ren's arrival on Pasaana, the Millennium Falcon was found by the Knights of Ren and their stormtrooper escorts. [32], Solo was taken aback by his own actions and seized Voe in midair with the Force, attempting to save her. [42], Kel and Eila eventually made their way to Castilon and sought refuge on a supertanker fuel depot known as the Colossus. [7] After Snoke's demise, both sides of the dyad exerted equal control over the Skywalker lightsaber, which caused the weapon to break into two separate pieces. During the fight, Finn approached them and Rey instinctively pushed him away with the Force to protect him. [33] After he was tracked to Elphrona by the same students who confronted him at the temple, Solo telekinetically lifted both Tai and Voe, tossing them into the abandoned Jedi outpost. "[24] He vowed that he would see her annihilated, along with Skywalker and "all of it." Bormea sector[2] Rae Sloane coins the term "First Order" as she establishes the reborn empire that will eventually take that name. [20] After destroying the Jedi temple, Solo sought out Snoke, whom he regarded as the only friend he had left. The warship Supremacy led the charge, its powerful turbolasers showering the fleet with unyielding blasts. Ren sought to put his past behind him, become immune to the temptations of the light, and claim his birthright by ruling the weaker beings of the galaxy. [7] Organa recognized similarities between her son and her father; therefore, she counted on her brother to prevent Solo from following his grandfather down the path of the dark side. Even though the mask was helping him breathe, there was still a certain look to it." Ren's anger and hatred fueled his attacks[10] as he drove the exhausted Rey back and knocked her off her feet, which caused her to lose her grip on her lightsaber. Ultimately, Meeko was unable to resist Ren's powers and revealed that San Tekka took the map with him to Bayora. He would give no quarter to his enemies, nor take a single prisoner. Black[9] After a grueling trial, Kylo Ren emerged as master of the Knights of Ren. [5] First, he used the dark side to bleed the crystal; it cracked in its master's grip with a surge of fiery energy. In a vision,[18] he showed Ren tens of thousands of Xyston-class Star Destroyers, modeled after Imperial Star Destroyers, but outfitted with axial superlaser cannons that were capable of destroying entire planets. Notwithstanding Skywalker's view on the Force, Solo surpassed his peers in every aspect of their training, including lightsaber combat and meditation. Both vied for the attention of the Supreme Leader. The thought that she had dared to reject him fueled his rage, causing Ren to lose himself to his anger and hatred, forgetting for a moment about his plans to overthrow the Emperor and take control of the Star Destroyer fleet. One of the worlds that he visited was under military occupation; the officer who greeted him expressed how honored they were by his presence while another prepared his speech to the local population, which included metaphors and allusions of cultural relevance to the world that they occupied. During target practice, Chewbacca and Solo fired stun shots at a haphazard dummy made of rocks. [100] Abrams described Driver has having a "wonderful ferocity that was perfect for this character. The First Order deployed an army, under the command of Kylo Ren, to the Benathy homeworld in Wild Space, intending to put an end to their expansionist campaign. His cloned body had further deteriorated, yet Ren was impressed by Sidious' ability to commune with another being across light-years. As Solo began telling his story, his thoughts drifted to years past when he was younger—a child surrounded by other young students whom Skywalker had taken under his wing. Ren confronted Rey within the wreckage of the Emperor's Throne Room in the ruins of the second Death Star. His faith in Solo began to erode upon discovering the dead body of Hennix, whose lightsaber was claimed by Voe as a replacement for her weapon, which was destroyed during her battle with Solo.[32]. He also thought of his old Master, Supreme Leader Snoke, who conditioned Ren to believe what the voices said to him. He sought to foster cooperation among the top First Order military leaders, and as such Ren formed the Supreme Council, a cabinet consisting of members of High Command, such as Allegiant General Pryde, General Hux, Admiral Frantis Griss, and generals Amret Engell, Bellava Parnadee, and Domaric Quinn. Having promised to kill Rey with the cruelest stroke, he immobilized Rey and gave Ren the chance to execute the girl who defeated him on Starkiller Base. The Supreme Leader launched a manhunt for the surviving members of the Resistance, deploying First Order forces to various locations across the galaxy. Standing together as a true dyad, Ben Solo and Rey confronted the clone remnant of Darth Sidious. Ren, who now saw himself as ruler of the galaxy, toured the worlds that the First Order conquered in the name of their new Supreme Leader. By the time he arrived on the scene, everything checked clear and not a single hidden trap could be found. [10] He felt betrayed, but resolved to fight them out of determination to help Rey. When Ren returned to the Steadfast, Pryde and Hux presented him with the First Order's newest prisoner, Chewbacca; he had been on a second transport, not the one that Rey destroyed.
