Ben Solo’s Return

I think we can really empathise with Ben’s belief that his greatest weakness was his greatest strength. So many times, I’ve felt like my anger, rage and pain were a source of powerful energy that focused my intentions and would lead me to be successful. That there was no point trying to be kind, to show love, patience and tolerance towards others. Why should I, after all this pain was caused by them?

Watching this scene in RoSW was such an important moment in both Ben’s story, but also my own. I see so much of myself in him. The cold rage beneath the skin, the belief that my anger was my strength, that the voices in my head were right to encourage me (”I have been every single voice inside your head”). When he finally let go of it all, he found himself again and came into his power.

Ben came from a family of legends. His father, the great smuggler Han Solo. His mother, the noble princess general Leia. His uncle, the powerful Jedi Master Luke. His Grandfather... That pressure must have been immense. He didn’t want to be any of them; he just wanted to be Ben. 

Perhaps the greatest achievement of this trilogy is Ben’s character arc, and showing that it takes *time* to know who we are and to overcome the obstacles in our way. I look forward to the day when I can see myself fully in the mirror, when I can hold the light in my heart once more with full confidence. When I finally come into my power.

The Witcher 3 + Signs

Though they are not warrior mages who employ powerful magic, witchers can cast simple magic spells that can prove effective when used properly. Witchers call these spells Signs and usually use them against monsters, though they also have non-combat applications. Because of the Signs, witchers prefer single-handed weaponry since it leaves their other hand free to cast.

The Rise of Kylo Ren makes it abundantly clear Palpatine’s dark presence was at Ben’s side that night, when Luke entered his nephew’s room to watch over him. Although it’s not officially stated, the comic strongly implies Palpatine chose to let the mask slip, allowing Luke to sense the infinite evil of the Dark Lord of the Sith himself. Little wonder Luke reacted on instinct, suddenly aware of an infinite darkness and believing it to be Ben himself. It was probably Palpatine himself who stirred Ben Solo at that moment, and the boy defended himself, goaded into action by the Emperor’s words.

With Luke Skywalker supposedly slain, the entire galaxy believes Ben Solo then turned on the Jedi and destroyed the Temple, slaughtering all of Luke’s students. […] In contrast, [to Anakin’s slaughter the Younglings], Ben Solo was no participant in the destruction of a Jedi Temple; The Rise of Kylo Ren reveals Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Temple was destroyed by Palpatine. The Emperor didn’t want to act openly, fearful Luke would be too powerful for him to defeat. But with Luke down, Palpatine unleashed a terrible Force Storm upon the Jedi Temple, killing everyone there. Ben was nothing more than an observer, watching in horror as almost everyone he’d grown up with was slaughtered. He took the blame for what happened when three Jedi who had been offworld arrived, and found him standing there, grief-stricken because he believed he’d just slain his own uncle and was unable to explain the atrocity he’d just witnessed.
