Kylo Ren, appearing in Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), is a complex figure grappling with his heritage and ambition. As the son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, he abandoned his Jedi training under Luke Skywalker, embracing the dark side and becoming a key enforcer for the First Order.

In Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Kylo Ren's internal conflict intensifies. He murders his father, a defining act that underscores his commitment to the dark side, yet moments of hesitation and a connection with Rey reveal his vulnerability and the persistent pull of the light. His interactions with Supreme Leader Snoke showcase his ambition and desire for power, ultimately leading to him seizing control of the First Order.

Kylo Ren's arc in The Last Jedi highlights his struggle between his familial legacy and his pursuit of a new order in the galaxy. This internal conflict is palpable throughout the film, as he grapples with his identity and his destiny, making him one of the most captivating characters of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. This version is often identified as 'Kylo Ren without Cape' due to the costume design without a cape being featured prominently in Episode 8.
