"One of the key things to understand about Kylo is that he’s not particularly honest with himself. As I see his character, he’s big on grand pronouncements, big on posturing, big on trying to convince himself he feels a certain way, e.g. untouchable and all-powerful. In reality, though, he’s pretty lost. So while he’s telling himself he wants to kill his own past, part of him is also looking for any sort of guidance he can get. That sums up his feelings about his grandfather at this point – he’s conflicted." -- Charles Soule

Star Wars: Legacy of Vader #1

"Poor Ben. We know he’s still in there somewhere because of the things we see in both Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker, but at this particular moment he’s been shoved down into some dark corner of Kylo Ren’s psyche. In a very short amount of time, Kylo’s faced down one of his great mentors in Luke Skywalker, killed another in Snoke, killed his father, almost killed his mother, met someone with whom he’s felt a unique, powerful connection in Rey, and assumed total control of one of, if not the most powerful military organization in the galaxy. All that in what seems to be just a matter of weeks! Kylo wants to move forward, but all of that trauma and intensity is very fresh – not easy to get past." -- Charles Soule

"Star Wars Adventures #30 comes out this Wednesday, and it's the first time I'm writing the lead story! And it's a pretty fun one, featuring Kylo Ren and Hux bickering and fighting monsters while bickering!" -- Michael Moreci

Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren #2

"These are the moments where the fate of the Force, the fate of the galaxy, and the balance of the Force, all these things are on the scales being weighed. And this book, if we do it right, should be building and building and building to a moment where Ben makes a choice and you understand why he does it and you realize he had no choice, even though he thinks he’s making one. That’s what the story’s supposed to be. That’s what happened to Anakin. If we do our job right, it will feel utterly inevitable and also utterly preventable, which is the tragedy of the whole story." -- Charles Soule

leahandillyanaRecently published comics elaborate on Kylo's start of darkness, presenting details that honestly should have been covered by the movies. Below I present excerpts from The Rise of Kylo Ren #1 (first batch of pictures) and Snoke one-shot (second batch of pictures). I also discuss contents of other one-shots from Age of Resistance series, therefore spoilers apply. Also, spoilers to a crucial scene from The Force Awakens.

Edit: Only too late did I see that most of those pages were already posted. Oh well. At least I hope my commentary adds something of value.

“Ben Solo is tragic. The potential of him from the day he was born, everyone around him saw or thought they saw what he could be. So he was put in all these different paths, and we've kind of seen how that's gone wrong in the films so far. This is a story about Ben Solo, understanding some of the choices he made." — Charles Soule

"Just to be clear, our Snoke comic is set before The Force Awakens - back when his top half and bottom half were joined in the middle by a spine and internal organs and stuff." -- Tom Taylor

"Having posted a preview of our Hux comic, I've now learned the Millennium Falcon can take some hits, but the strongest ship in Star Wars appears to be Hux and Kylo Ren." -- Tom Taylor
