Ben Solo, son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, was once a promising Jedi apprentice taught by his uncle Luke Skywalker.
Many of the Expanded Universe stories take place after or in between the events of the movies, and follow the main characters as they grow and start families. Han Solo marries Princess Leia and they have three children: twins named Jacen and Jaina, and a younger son named Anakin.
In canon Han and Leia only had one child, Ben Solo. Ben was born not long after the Battle of Endor. As he was the one and only child of Han and Leia, the pressure of continuing the legacy of the Solos, the Skywalkers, and the Jedi were thrust upon him from an early age.
Ben Solo (portrayed by Adam Driver) is the son of Leia Organa and Han Solo, the nephew of Luke Skywalker, the grandson of Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala, and the great-grandson of Shmi Skywalker. He initially trains to be a Jedi under his uncle, Luke.
Darth Vader didn't learn he had a daughter until Return of the Jedi, when he stood before Emperor Palpatine. The Emperor's power probed Luke's mind, attempting to goad him to fall to the dark side, and he discovered Leia's existence. "Sister," the Emperor taunted.
However, Leia's strong-mindedness during Vader's probe denied him the opportunity to discover she was his daughter. That serves to justify Vader's lack of awareness of his connection to Leia, although, perhaps, not as satisfyingly as if Lucas had planned for the relationship from the beginning.
She figured out her mother's identity after Return of the Jedi, when she learned she was the daughter of Anakin Skywalker; it didn't take Leia long to connect the dots between Anakin and the senator of Naboo he had spent so much time with during the Clone Wars, who died under mysterious circumstances on the day Leia ...
“So Leia Force projects herself as Ben and uses her life force to save Rey. Even going as far as to kiss Rey to convince her it's Ben. It's why when Ben disappeared, so did Leia.”
More Stories by Kyle Kizu. After years of speculation, Star Wars: The Last Jedi revealed that Rey (Daisy Ridley), the main character of the new trilogy, is not the child of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill). In fact, she's the child of “nobody” — per Rey's own words. However, the subtitle for J.J.
Born in 35 ABY during the rise of the First Order, Zayne was the son of Ben Solo and Rey Palpatine. Zayne's mother sought to protect him from Kylo Ren, committed to the dark side and on a conquest during his tenure as Supreme Leader of the First Order.
The Rise of Skywalker revealed that Kylo Ren and Rey were two halves of a "dyad" in the Force, which Terrio alternatively described as "sort of soulmate[s] in the Force" and "twins of fate, twins of destiny." Their relationship was also described as a romance by both J.J.
What is the connection between Kylo Ren and Rey? As Kylo Ren himself says in The Rise of Skywalker, he and Rey are bonded not just by their familial legacies (Ren as the grandson of Darth Vader and Rey as the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine) but by their unique connection in the Force.
Alderaan's princess knew she had been adopted by Bail and Breha Organa after the Clone Wars, but she had no idea who her parents were. That was until Luke Skywalker told her the truth - that he was the son of Darth Vader, and that she was his sister.
Leia and Han had three children, and they named their youngest son Anakin after Anakin Skywalker, Leia's biological father. Since Luke was the twin to spend more time with Obi-Wan in the old canon, it made sense that he, not Leia, was the one to honor Obi-Wan when naming his child.
In the third installment, the 1993 novel The Last Command, he is born five minutes after his sister Jaina on Coruscant. The twins, and eventually their younger brother Anakin, were sent to live at various safe havens, under the protection of Leia's handmaiden, Winter.
Han Solo married Leia Organa after Return of the Jedi, but his first wife in Star Wars was a woman named Sana Starros.
But a new tie-in novel, Shadow of the Sith by Adam Christopher, finally fixes this. Rey's parents are none other than Dathan and Miramir. No, that's not a typo. Her dad's name is Dathan, which is at least slightly better than Sheev Palpatine.
He also revealed his connection to the Jedi apprentice, informing Ren that Rey was, in fact, his granddaughter. Ren envisioned a future in which the galaxy was ruled by himself, Vader's grandson, and Rey, Sidious' granddaughter.
The offspring of Darth Sidious' cloned son, Rey inherited her grandfather's power in the Force. Born on the planet Hyperkarn in 15 ABY, Rey was the daughter of a man named Dathan and woman named Miramir, but their names were later lost to history.
Why Did Rey Bury the Lightsabers? Since Luke and Leia, her masters, have become one with the Force, this is her way of honoring them by putting their weapons to rest. It also shows that Rey is burying the past while carrying it with her — both in her spirit and in the lightsaber she now wields.
Following Palpatine's final defeat and her own resurrection, Rey adopts the name Rey Skywalker to honor her mentors and their family legacy and renounce her lineage. As the last remaining Jedi, she makes it her mission to rebuild the Jedi Order.
Leia sacrifices herself to bring back Ben from the dark side, destroying Kylo Ren in the process. After reaching out to Ben, Leia dies.
This is not because the Third Sister knows that Leia is Anakin Skywalker's child; it is because the Third Sister found a link between Obi-Wan and Bail Organa and she believed Obi-Wan would do anything to save Bail's daughter.
At the end of the war, Bail Organa adopted Padmé's daughter Leia and raised her as an Alderaanian princess.
With Leia's strong connection to the Force, it seems like the most likely solution to this inconsistency is that she's caught glimpses of her mother through Force visions. As Luke trains with Yoda on Dagobah during Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, the wise old master says, "Through the Force, things you will see.
