Kylo Ren (Ben Solo) is killed by his own sacrifice, giving his life force to resurrect a dying Rey in The Rise of Skywalker, but his physical death follows an earlier, near-fatal blow from Rey during a duel on the second Death Star wreckage. After being redeemed, Ben Solo travels to Exegol to help Rey, but after she defeats Palpatine and dies, he uses the Force to bring her back, becoming one with the Force himself.
Star Wars reveals another key reason why Rey was able to beat Kylo Ren in The Force Awakens, going beyond Kylo's wound from Chewbacca. It wasn't a secret. Kylo Ren was injured from being shot by Chewy and his mind was out of focus because of killing his father.
Rey and Kylo battle ferociously, but it's pretty clear by the end Kylo is just wearing Rey down. She attacks, he defends, he's not even trying all that hard. She grows increasingly unstable trying to fight back. She “wins" by stabbing him while his back is turned, with the saber HE DROPPED.

Unnamed Alazmec Colonist - Slashed by Kylo Ren with his red crossguard saber.
No. For the “briefest moment of pure instinct” he considered it, after he had the vision of Kylo bringing destruction and the end of everything he loved. Similar to the way he reacted in rotj when Vader threatened Leia, except this time Luke doesn't give in to his impulse and instincts and stops himself.
The saddest Star Wars deaths often involve poignant sacrifice, broken relationships, or innocent lives lost, with fan favorites including Kanan Jarrus (heroic sacrifice for his family), Duchess Satine (Obi-Wan's lost love, brutally killed by Maul), Clone Trooper 99 (innocent loyalty and tragic end), Tech (sacrifice for his squad), Padmé Amidala (heartbreak and loss of hope), and Han Solo (fatherly tragedy). These deaths resonate due to their emotional impact, the characters' potential, or the deep impact on other heroes.
Zayne, son of Rey Palpatine and Ben Solo, was born shortly before Exegol. In 34 ABY, Padawan Rey Palpatine and Dark apprentice Kylo Ren were among those who fought in the First Order-Resistance war in a decisive battle for the galaxy at the Battle of Crait.
Likely unaware of his true nature, Snoke was an artificial genetic strandcast created on the planet Exegol by the resurgent Dark Lord of the Sith and Galactic Emperor Darth Sidious as a proxy and the product of cloning experiments.
Famously, Shaak Ti has died more times than almost any other Jedi in the EU.
Palpatine is killed by a blaster shot fired by Han, but his spirit is captured by the mortally wounded Jedi Empatojayos Brand. When Brand dies, he takes Palpatine's spirit with him into the netherworld of the Force, destroying the Sith Lord once and for all.
Born on the planet Hyperkarn in 15 ABY, Rey was the daughter of Dathan and Miramir. While their names were lost to history, Rey's father was the cloned son—an artificial genetic strandcast—of the resurrected Darth Sidious, making her the granddaughter of the fallen Galactic Emperor and Dark Lord of the Sith.
The Lost Twenty, also known as the The Lost, was a name given to the group of twenty Jedi Masters who left the Jedi Order throughout its history. According to Yula Braylon of the Jedi High Council, the Lost Twenty became disillusioned with the Jedi way of life.
Yoda is alive during the events The Acolyte. He is also known to be up to approx 2'2" (or 66cm).
The answer, revealed in Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, rewrote much of what we thought we knew. Rey is the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious or Sheev Palpatine—not through a traditional lineage, but through a failed clone named Dathan, Rey's father.
In Star Wars lore, Order 37 was a grim Clone Trooper contingency plan to capture a wanted individual (often a Jedi) by taking a civilian population hostage, locking down the area, and threatening mass execution if the target wasn't surrendered, making it a horrific tactic used by the Empire to force Jedi compliance. It was considered more brutal than Order 66 because it targeted civilians directly, forcing Jedi to often turn themselves in to save innocent lives, as seen on planets like Bellassa.
No, Darth Plagueis is not Anakin Skywalker's father; Anakin had no biological father, being born of the Force itself in response to Plagueis's dark side manipulations, with Palpatine's tales of Plagueis's power over life being a manipulation to turn Anakin to the dark side, though Plagueis's attempts to create life did inadvertently cause Anakin's conception.
Ben Solo. 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.
