Biography
Ben Solo, son of Leia Organa and Han Solo, trained under Luke Skywalker until he destroyed the new Jedi temple and became Kylo Ren, apprentice to Supreme Leader Snoke. He killed Han on Starkiller Base, kept Darth Vader's burned helmet as a relic, seized the First Order after killing Snoke, and fought Rey across a Force dyad. At Exegol he returned to the light as Ben Solo and gave his life to restore Rey.
