Kylo Ren dies on Kef Bir (the ocean moon of Endor) shortly after Rey deals a mortal wound during a lightsaber duel on the wreckage of the second Death Star. Though Rey Force-heals him, saving his life physically, this blow, coupled with the memory of his mother and father, destroys the man known as “Kylo Ren” forever.
While it matches Anakin's death, killing Ben Solo right after his redemption takes away all the potential future he could have had (which would have been quite compelling had Disney/Lucasfilm chosen to invest more into the character).
Kylo Ren, the villain introduced in The Force Awakens, was killed by Rey in Kef Bir – both literally and figuratively. Rey healed Kylo Ren, a symbolic moment that brought Ben Solo back to life.
Ben Solo, the man who had spent several years as Kylo Ren, died by sacrificing the last of his life force to revive Rey, essentially returning the gift she'd given him when she healed him.
In Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, Kylo Ren met his demise. So how did Kylo Ren die? In The Rise of Skywalker, Kylo Ren almost died three times before he finally became one with the Force.
She does not have a baby bump, her hand never goes to her stomach to indicate she's carrying a child, and there wasn't exactly any time for her to have conceived a child with anyone in the course of the film, including Kylo Ren/Ben Solo.
Reclaiming his identity as Ben Solo, the redeemed Jedi joined Rey on Exegol to save her from Sidious and defeat him once and for all, though the effort took Rey's life. When Solo sacrificed himself to revive Rey, he died and became one with the Force, joining his parents, uncle, and grandfather.
The question of why Leia's body only disappears after Ben Solo's death has a few potential answers, but it boils down to Leia's own journey as a Jedi. Her character can be considered one of the most important of the sequel trilogy. Her arc has always been inherently tied with that of her son.
Even though Kylo Ren uses a red lightsaber, harnesses the dark side of the Force, and wears a cape, he is not a Sith. Because of that, he can never hold the title of Darth.
For all we know, Leia specifically channeled her own life force into Ben, helping Rey along and sacrificing herself in the process. That may be why Leia finally dies and fades away at the moment Ben revives Rey and fades away himself. When Ben dies, any tether Leia still had to the living world went with him.
He obviously sacrificed himself for her to survive. He could've let her die and been the one survivor and take on the next generation of power.
A kiss of gratitude, acknowledgement of their connection, celebration that they'd found each other at last.
A crystal embodies the Jedi as the heart of the lightsaber, and pure kyber has no color until it's bonded to the Force user. This process likely resulted in Rey Skywalker's lightsaber being yellow.
According to ComicBook.com, the novel reveals that Ben had some final words for Rey in one of the film's last scenes. “A voice came to her through the Force, clear and strong. 'I will always be with you,' Ben said.
Initially unknown to Rey, she forms a dyad in the Force with Ben. The dyad is an unbreakable Force-bond that makes them one in the Force, despite being born as two physically separated individuals. Thus, despite not being related by blood, Ben is Rey's other half, making him her "soulmate" or "twin of the Force".
confirmed that what Finn wanted to tell Rey was that he's force sensitive!" Abrams apparently revealed Finn's Force sensitivity after the Q&A, when fans "wanted to talk and take pics," ren clarified in a follow-up tweet. When "one person asked about what Finn wanted to say," the Force-sensitivity answer "is what J.J.
After beating the rogue Stormtrooper on Starkiller Base, Kylo Ren—the grandson of Darth Vader—tried to claim the weapon that once belonged to his grandfather. Instead, it was taken by Rey. Despite her earlier rejection of it, the scavenger took up the Skywalker lightsaber and engaged Ren in their first lightsaber duel.
1 Darth Sidious
There has been no Sith, as powerful, meticulous, nor as evil as the Emperor himself, Darth Sidious. As previously mentioned, Sidious trained in the Dark Side by Darth Plagueis before Sidious killed Plagueis in his sleep, making Sidious a Sith Master.
The lightsaber's redesign was a byproduct of the bleeding process that damaged its kyber crystal, rendering it dangerously flawed and unstable, and necessitating the lateral vents were meant to prevent the cracked kyber crystal from overloading.
However, rather than be an oversight or plot hole, Leia might not have remembered old Ben for one sinister reason. This has to do with Ben's Jedi powers, namely the mind trick. As he grew older, he'd use it on Stormtroopers to protect Luke Skywalker.
The premise of the first three episodes — as Obi-Wan rescues Leia in an attempt to return her to Alderaan — show that Leia not only knows Ben Kenobi's true identity but that the princess owes her life to him.
So, even when she eventually learns his real name, Leia always associated the Jedi Master with Ben rather than Obi-Wan. Inspired by this, it makes sense that she decided to name her son Ben Solo — after Ben Kenobi.
Even though Finn is once again Force-sensitive, and tries to tell Rey about it throughout the film, the film ends without the story addressing his abilities. While fans were left wondering about Finn's Force status, subsequent Lego films have confirmed it, and Finn is already on the road to becoming a Jedi.
In The Rise of Skywalker (2019), the final film in the sequel trilogy, Palpatine is revealed to be the mastermind behind the First Order and creator of its puppet leader, Snoke, as well as the grandfather of protagonist Rey.
Rey's lightsaber was a yellow-bladed lightsaber that was constructed by the Jedi Rey Skywalker following the First Order-Resistance War.
