Ben Solo

Ben Solo, also known as Kylo Ren, is the main antagonist of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. The son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, Ren is a member of the Knights of Ren, the former apprentice of Supreme Leader Snoke, and the Supreme Leader of the First Order.

Early Life
Ben Solo was born to Han Solo and Leia Organa one year after the Battle of Endor. As a Force-sensitive and a descendant of Anakin Skywalker, Ben was sought after by Supreme Leader Snoke, who regarded Ben as a balance between light and dark. Leia, worried that Ben would turn out like Anakin and join the dark side, sent Ben to her brother Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy, but Snoke slowly tempted Ben behind the scenes.

Leia's worst fears rang true one day when Luke, sensing a great darkness in Ben, tried to kill him in his sleep. Though Luke faltered, it was too late as Ben woke up, saw his uncle brandishing a lightsaber at him, and struck back. Ben soon destroyed Luke's Jedi temple and joined Snoke as Kylo Ren.

How The Force Awakens Should Have Ended
Ren is first seen in his quarters speaking to Darth Vader's mask. Unknown to him, Anakin's Force ghost hears Ren refer to him as "grandfather" and is elated at the news, running around and yelling about how he is now a grandfather.

Later, Ren meets with Snoke/Gollum about Rey's Force potential. Snoke orders Ren to bring him "the precious," which confuses Ren.

During his duel with Rey, Ren tries to tempt her into joining her, as she needs a teacher. However, he soon uses the Force faint ability on her and drags her off.

Finally, Ren confronts Han Solo at Starkiller Base. Ren slowly prepares to kill Han, but is himself stabbed in the back by Luke.
