Before we start this video I want to announce the official launch of the forums on the website
You can find the link down below
This is where I'll be holding a lot of future contests going forward
Especially the one that I've been debating on doing if I can pull it off
Regarding flying one of you or a couple of you from anywhere in the world to the set of Vader Episode two
So go check the forum out sign up right now. It's free of course and
Just chat amongst the community
Hey guys, how you doing? Today? We're going over the little series that we've had the rise of Skywalker novelization
and today we're gonna be going over something that
brings me a bit of
enjoyment in knowing
because if you didn't know kylo Ren is my all-time favorite character for the sequel trilogies 4 so 7 8 & 9
He is my guy. He's number 1
His character arc is very fluid. It's just it's up and down. It's all over the place
It's not just this linear path that continues to go up or stays the same
Even if we were declining that would at least be a little bit of a character arc as well
But his he's always finding more about himself who he is what his internal struggles are and his path
From the light to the dark and then back to the light
so one of the things in the end of the movie where he dies
It was a little bit anticlimactic for me because I was like, wow, this is like my favorite character
They just killed him off. Like, you know, Ray's kind of had it all through the beginning and I
Wanted to see more from Ben and I understand this is his
redemption or Bend emption as it's called, you know after he
Resuscitates her gives her his life. This is kind of his
What he's paying for to the galaxy like hey, look I was bad
And now I'm giving you you know, the light I'm giving you ray I'm sacrificing myself
But the main thing in Star Wars is that when you die you turn into a force ghost or something if you are good
right
we saw this with Luke and obi-wan and Yoda and all the force ghosts at the end of episode 9 at least their voices and
of course with Anakin
Unfortunately, we didn't see that with Ben we didn't even hear that so we don't really know where he is
He just poof gone because he was part of the dark side or was that last?
bit of effort that he gave his life and and
Resurrected Rey was that enough for him to be in?
The light side of the force and be a force ghost
So today we're gonna go over
What happened to him?
Because something did actually happen to him and then what's gonna discuss how exactly he became a force ghost in legends?
Because I have the answer
Regarding how Anakin became a force ghost because a lot of people were confused as to how he how he did that right?
so quickly if we read right here on page 239
So at this point in the book basically were led up to the point where reign Palpatine fight
she kills him with his own attack, you know reflecting it back on to him as we've seen before and
now
kylo comes out of the
the pit that he was thrown into and he doesn't actually use the force like we saw in the comics so that was kind of
Pointless, it says he just found a jagged piece that he he landed upon. Let me try to find it here
Ben's fall had been caught on a jagged outcropping his ankle was twisted and he was pretty sure he'd broken at least two ribs
But he had to get back to the throne room
so he his fall was caught on a jacket outcropping so he didn't actually use the Force to
Float above the ground like we saw in the comics like Snoke or Palpatine was actually training him to do unfortunately
But that would have been pretty cool to see cuz it would have shown some leniency, but that's fine
He got lucky, I guess with the outcropping. Um
You are not in control
You are confused
unsure of your convictions filled with doubt you feel
powerless as Snoke tells him that powerful beings can harness their rage very easily if they so wish
he tells them that he must use it to strike for either you strike or
You fall and with that he lets go of the force and kylo falls to his death as Snoke tells him to use his fear
To let it crystallize into anger to turn that anger into power. Kylo begins to float off the ground using the force
This is a really cool force power that shows just how force users can survive massive falls
Without a single injury when kylo asks Snoke if he would have caught him had he not been able to save himself
Snoke tells him that Skywalker would have which is why he was holding him back
Snoke tells him that you were to rule at my side
I can't have you defeated by Heights which I think is a really cool line as they get into Snoke ship
He tells kylo that he's taking him somewhere else to Train been poured everything into her he found reservoirs
He didn't know he had he gave her his whole self her diaphragm rose with a breath and her warm hand
Covered his her eyes lit up
So then she goes on to kiss him a kiss of gratitude acknowledgement of their connection celebration that they'd found each other at last
But then she drew back concerns on her face. She could feel him growing cold then smiled at her
He had given Rey back to the galaxy. It wouldn't atone for the darkness
He draught but it was what he could do
Ben solo had no regrets as he collapsed to the ground the force reached for him and welcomed
His final awareness was a ray clasping his hands with her own
Raced her over the place Ben had fallen staring down at his empty tunic tears streamed down her face
He had sacrificed everything for her. She did not mourn. Kylo Ren
She would never mourn kylo Ren
But she dearly would have loved the chance to get to know Ben solo
It felt like half of her was missing and she's supposed it was
the girl who had felt alone for all those years on jakku had been part of a diet the whole time and
Just when she discovered that precious connection that incredible oneness
It was ripped away a voice came to her through the force clear and strong
I will always be with you. Ben said she smiled let the truth of it wash over her
No one's ever really gone. She whispered. She retrieved her lightsabers and sprinted from the ruined Cathedral
Today we have it
Ben solo is a force ghost and he is
Quote-unquote alive. Well basically alive in the Star Wars universe. We saw Luke Hall grab a lightsaber
We saw him used the force to lift the the x-wing from above
I mean pretty much now if you're a forest ghost, you're more powerful than it you were if you were alive, but
And I'd love to learn more about force ghosts
It would've been cool if Rey was like wait, you can do all this
It's just just hop in the x-wing that I wanted to just teleport and I'll meet you over there. That wouldn't appreciate so
How would it been do it? Okay. Well that's not explained obvious Kanon yet
But in legends the way Anakin did it after you know, he defeated Palpatine and roses from Darth Vader
In a split second
It was kind of like everything slowed down as he was looking at Luke and Luke removed his mask and returned the Jedi
This is from the I think that is it the junior novelization or is it?
Dark Lord
It's it's one of those books
The rise of I think it could be I don't know it's one of those books anyways
This is pointless
So at that split-second everything slows down and he hears Obi Wan's voice and as he's dying
He's like obi-wan would how can this be and then obi-wan snaps at him?
He's like look
we only have a few moments for you to get this right and if you don't you will just cease to exist entirely so
Learn my teachings and in that like split second. He teaches him as he's about to die and
It becomes a force ghost and it was literally that quick in that simple. That's how they explained it in the book. So
I assume that someone reached out to Ben and
Most likely Luke and so that's probably how he did it now Anakin in this book so far
is
alluded to but as being there, but I have to read more about it and
There's a there's a part
Where is someone's talking about like ray-ray senses that Luke is with someone or something like that and from beyond the force
but
It's not explained as to who could be kind of just like when Luke died in the last Jedi novelization
it was said that someone was speaking to him to let go and
No one really knows who it was. It could be been a Ben Kenobi. It could be Anakin Skywalker. We don't know
Before the movie ever lasted I ever came out
Someone emailed me saying that we're going to hear Anakin's voice at the end of the film
They said they've worked on the film blah blah blah
But I guess that was cut but it left it was left in the novelization. So I
Don't know. I don't know why they keep cutting Anakin now, man
It's I wish they would just leave him in there in the flesh least, you know
I kind of read you see like a Mufasa moment at the end of the last Jedi
It's like Luke's looking at the clouds' and she's like and it kid appears my son
with David Prowse voice
Sorry, not David Prowse James Earl Jones. David Prowse was the guy who was Vader in the suit. Okay. Well, that's today's video
I'm sure all the reloj fans are happy. I'm a kylo fan myself
so I'm happy that he's at least you know one with the force and he's a force ghost now, so
That's cool
I'm gonna find more stuff in this book stay tuned for that as well as the animations come soon and Vader episode 2 info and
a whole bunch of yeah daily content and stuff like that hit like if you enjoyed this one catch you in the next video until
Then remember the force will be with you always
