In the years since he faded into nothingness with a single kiss, star wars has gradually developed Kylo Ren. Or rather, a single writer has done it: Charles Soule, with the help of artistic teams led by Will Sliney and Luke Ross, has explored how Ben Solo gets up and took charge of the Knights of Ren and his first days as Supreme Leader of the First Order. Now, with the character’s solo film gone, Lucasfilm continues the Ren train with yet another comic.
Later this year, Soule and Sliney will team up again for The fall of Kylo Ren, a five-issue miniseries set before The Rise of Skywalker. Set after Vader’s Legacy In the comic, Ren returns to the First Order and discovers that Generals Hux and Pryde have “torn it apart with treacherous ambition.” Like the Sith masters before him, Kylo intends to put both men in their place and create a stronger First Order through everyone’s fear of him.
“This is the one book I’ve been dying to read again,” Sliney said in a statement to IGN. “Since Charles and I worked at The rise of Kylo Ren, We knew we were part of something special. I’ve never experienced a group of fans so excited about the story when we worked on it. Raise, And quietly behind the scenes, we had been talking about Fall for a long, long time.”
“Kylo’s story (and Ben Solo’s, of course) always seemed huge to me,” Soule continued. “I am delighted to be able to offer new stories for one of star wars most prominent villains once again. It was clear that there was a lot to explore beyond the moments provided by the films, and it has been a great pleasure. fact sheetteased that the comic would “take Kylo to where he is when we see him in rise of Skywalker opening scene. (Legacy) gave him clarity and even a little happiness. Fall It is the last piece of the puzzle.”
