Kylo Ren (Ben Solo) was primarily trained in the dark side by Supreme Leader Snoke, who was an artificial creation of the resurrected Emperor Palpatine and groomed Ren to be the First Order's ultimate weapon, although Kylo Ren was also initially a Jedi trainee under Luke Skywalker before falling to the dark side. Snoke taught him to harness dark side power, but also encouraged him to embrace both light and dark aspects, similar to Vader, ultimately using him as a pawn, leading Ren to kill Snoke and usurp his title.
The son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, Ben Solo was seduced by the dark side of the Force and renamed himself Kylo Ren: leader of the Knights of Ren, champion of the First Order, and apprentice to Supreme Leader Snoke.
San Tekka was a seasoned traveler and explorer on the remote fringes of the galaxy. Following the defeat of the Empire at the Battle of Endor, San Tekka aided the fledgling New Republic by providing bureaucrats with information regarding worlds across the galaxy.
Snoke and his many copies were not a clone of any known individual the way the Clone Army soldiers were modified copies of Jango Fett. Nor was he a one-for-one recreation of a previous body like Palpatine's clone body. Snoke was an entirely new being made from scratch, and Dr.
ACOLYTE creator Leslie Heyland revealed Qmir would have gone on to become The first Ren, founder of the Knights of Ren! “It was in the design of the character, as well as knowing that we were going to introduce Darth Plagueis, who has to end up with Palpatine as his apprentice.
"The Stranger," as he was known, was a former Jedi who became a Sith Lord in the later years of the High Republic era. Claiming to have no name and going by the alias "Qimir" in his public life, the enigmatic male individual who became known as "the Stranger" was a human alive during the High Republic Era.
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.
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.
Luke was the last Jedi, then. Rey is the last Jedi, now. The title of each film in the sequel trilogy is a direct reference to the main protagonist of the sequel trilogy, Rey. In the Force awakens, it awakens in her.
Snoke and Kylo aren't Sith because they presumably never knew any sith, and because there aren't any sith around to make them sith. They're just some guys who can use the force for evil stuff.
The clone commando RC-1136, known as Darman Skirata, got Jedi Knight Etain Tur-Mukan pregnant during the Clone Wars, resulting in their son, Venku Skirata, a Force-sensitive child born outside the Jedi Code's restrictions. Their forbidden relationship and child's birth were detailed in the Republic Commando novels, highlighting the complexities of clone troopers' development and the strictures of the Jedi Order, as Etain was killed shortly after Order 66 while protecting her family.
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.
Hamill famously objected to certain creative decisions in the film, namely the revelation that Luke Skywalker essentially quit the rebellion after a painful failure and had spent years living a hermit-like existence by himself. “I said to Rian, 'Jedis don't give up.
Darth Sidious and Darth Vader were the last Sith Lords who followed Bane's Rule of Two. The war's end in 19 BBY, a thousand years after Bane's death, saw the culmination of the Sith's millennium-long vendetta against the Jedi. Sidious declared himself Emperor and reformed the Republic into the Galactic Empire.
In the original trilogy, Yoda lives in solitude on the swamp planet Dagobah. He is introduced as a former mentor of the Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and he trains Luke Skywalker in the ways of the Force until his death at the age of 900.
From slaughtering younglings in the Jedi Temple to tracking down survivors across decades, Vader killed dozens of Jedi, both directly and through the Inquisitorius. Canon sources estimate 50–60 Jedi slain, while Legends materials raise the count to over 100, cementing Vader's legacy as the ultimate Jedi executioner.
No, Darth Plagueis is not Anakin Skywalker's biological father, but there's a strong theory (especially in Star Wars Legends and early drafts) that his experiments with midi-chlorians to create life led the Force itself to create Anakin, the Chosen One, as a reaction, making Plagueis the "unintentional father" of the prophecy. In current canon, Plagueis is a legend Palpatine uses to lure Anakin, and the exact nature of Anakin's conception by the Force remains a mystery, though he had no conventional father.
Palpatine Saw Rey As A Tool, Not A Granddaughter
Kylo Ren idolized his grandfather Darth Vader, but Rey never saw Palpatine in this way, never even acknowledging her familial connection to The Emperor as anything beyond a genetic technicality. For his part, Palpatine didn't really think of Rey as family either.
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.
In the book, the two have an exchange that is clearly and unambiguously queer when Kaeden reveals she wants to kiss Ahsoka. The passage reads: "'I could kiss you. ' Ahsoka stopped in her tracks.
Storm Troopers weren't clones. They were recruited as children from the Empire. Finn was a child taken and trained to fight.
