This article contains potential SPOILERS forStar Wars : The upgrade of Skywalker
The first dawdler for Star Wars : The Rise of Skywalker reveals the homecoming of Emperor Palpatine , but it also confirms our suspicions about the birth of Kylo Ren – and exactlywhoseduced Ben Solo to the dark side of the Force .
Our possibility is n’t as off-the-wall or even as wondering as others being made among the Star Wars fandom , peculiarly considering the question of just what form of the Emperor is laughing at the end of the preview . or else , we ’re focusing on the evidence seemingly offered in the trailer itself . There was always something that did n’t add up about the idea of Supreme Leader Snoke somehow playing a more convincing mentor than Luke Skywalker .
Luke work a role in chasing his nephew Ben into the arms of the First Order , without query . But with Star Wars 9 revealing what still lives on Endor ’s moon … Kylo Ren ’s fall suddenly make perfect sentience .
The Movies Claim Snoke Seduced Ben Solo
Any strength in the argument that " Ben Solo was seduced to the Dark Side by Supreme Leader Snoke " completely evaporated when Snoke made his first appearance . A great pupil is a reflection of a great wise man , so Kylo Ren ’s condition when the interview meet him – emotionally out of control , overcome with rage , internally torn , and unable to master his Force power with any finesse , just raw wrath – is all the proof needed to say Snoke is a Terrible master . A gifted operator , and maintain verbal , emotional , and forcible violence as good as any tyrant . But compare to even the bad Sith Lords , the idea of him " persuade " Ben Solo to do anything always feel … well , like part of the report was miss .
The flick themselves offered more than one explanation , both in the movie and provide in expanded universe fiction ( comic , novels , and video show ) . The fact that Kylo Ren had Darth Vader ’s helmet in his possession was a more convincing whimsy on its own – suggesting that just like in the comic , the Sith helmet was possess by Dark Side energy , which would hold Kylo back from the sparkle better than Snoke ’s barked orders ever could . And with The Last Jedi let out Luke ’s betrayal , perhaps Ben was merely running for his spirit to the nearest Force sensitive who would controvert him . Thankfully , the trailer for Star Wars : The Rise of Skywalker has terminate the questions .
Star Wars 9 Reveals The Truth?
The true significance of the present moment may be turn a loss in the overall haste of new Star Wars footage , but fans will want to absorb it . We ’re denote to the final nip of the trailer revealing Rey , Finn , and Poe approaching the grassy cliffs overtop a roil sea . And marking that ocean from the wave to the clouds is the unmistakable dishful of the second Death Star , destroyed in the area of Endor ’s forest moonlight . Which imply the sea , like the heroes , are all but surely located on the open of that very moon .
Just as the tomb of Emperor Palpatine come into view – the final resting place of whatever remain following his explosive death at Darth Vader ’s hand – the screen cuts to black , with only the Emperor ’s disembodied laugh ring . In the process , giving the final clew we needed to understand what had REALLY caused the fall of Ben Solo … and Kylo Ren ’s true passe-partout , even if he does n’t realize it himself .

Vader’s Helmet Puts Kylo Ren on Endor, Too
get into that the facts are what they appear to be , the reveals or supposition seem percipient enough : the Hero return to Endor in search of some final object lens , locate the remains of the second Death Star where Palpatine fail , and encounter ( in some manikin ) what remains of his liveliness or Force Ghost . The specifics ca n’t and should n’t be guessed at for care of spoilers , but those steps alone help Kylo Ren ’s report come into focus . After all , the heroes are retracing the steps he would have to have demand to recover the partially run helmet of Darth Vader , burn along with his physical structure on a funeral pyre by Luke inEpisode VI ’s final scenes .
So if the heroes encounter what remains of Emperor Palpatine … it ’s a good bet that Ben Solo would have , as well . And if he did , there was no way the Emperor would let an opportunity like that evanesce him by
From here fans can utilise their imagination to add color and dramatic play to the seduction and accrue that soon followed . Just as Sheev Palpatine had identified Anakin Skywalker ’s motive for a founding father , a champion , a confidant , and a tempting vocalization inside his caput , Ben Solo would have embodied the same ( made all the more tragic by the fact that Luke efficaciously chased him into Palpatine ’s blazonry ) . And even if Snoke soon make full the role as the air force officer pointing Kylo Ren ’s anger , hate , and aggression towards foeman to toss off , it was Palpatine press his fondness and psyche to derive further into the Dark Side .
If true , then Kylo Ren became more like his grandfather than anyone expected . And just as sadly , Luke Skywalker follow in Obi - Wan Kenobi ’s stride … all the way to ruin and treason for another genesis .
The Emperor Couldn’t Pass Up Another Skywalker
This is still all speculation on our part , at least until Star Wars 9 finally ends the Skywalker account and hopefully confirms or disproves our indication of the evidence . Even so , we go for rooter will see that our connecting of the dots seems the simple-minded , based on the confirm movements of Palpatine , Vader , Ben Solo , and now the motion-picture show ’s Resistance heroes . If our theory test precise , then Emperor Palpatine ’s seduction and corruption of a second generation if Skywalker will have finally been achieved . However , Luke was able-bodied to resist his hate and ire … and even if he ’s become one with the Force , he ’s not out of the picture yet .
Will it be too late for Kylo Ren to be make unnecessary , and Ben Solo return to the ignitor , just as his grandfather deal before his own death in Return of the Jedi ? Only time will tell if The Rise of Skywalker will include the last of the family blood line , or be a symbolic tribute to all of the Fallen Skywalkers – Ben Solo let in .
