23 Facts About Kylo Ren

Kylo Ren is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise.

Kylo Ren is the chosen name of Ben Solo, the child of original Star Wars trilogy characters Han Solo and Princess Leia Organa.

Kylo Ren was first seen from behind, but still not named, in the 88-second The Force Awakens teaser trailer released by Lucasfilm on November 28,2014, wielding a jagged red lightsaber with a crossguard.

Leia never really gave up hope that Kylo Ren could be redeemed, and she knew that Rey was probably the way that it would happen.

I'll say this – the moment when Kylo Ren makes his appeal for her to join him, and Adam captured it so well in his little please, it was important to me that it wasn't a chess game, it wasn't just a manipulation.
