Despite his many accomplishments, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker may have glossed over Kylo Ren’s greatest feat in the sequel trilogy. Many events led to the final battle that happened on the Sith world Exegol, and though Kylo Ren wasn’t involved in the airborne fight, he and Rey’s confrontation with Palpatine on the ground was among the most pivotal moments of the Skywalker saga's final installment.
The reward for believing in his parents and Rey's faith was witnessing Kylo Ren turning back to the light in The Rise of Skywalker. For the entirety of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Ren grappled with the pulls of the dark and light sides of the Force. Kylo ascended to Supreme Leader of the First Order himself after betraying Snoke, but remained haunted by his past and the whispers of Palpatine.
While the other ships of the Resistance were able to reach Exegol through a beacon broadcast by Rey, there’s no evidence that Ben also used that beacon, considering he flew to Exegol in an old TIE fighter. The Rise of Skywalker doesn’t show his second trip to Exegol at all; rather, he reappears in the middle of the battle running past the Imperial TIE and Luke Skywalker’s X-wing, which serves as a convenient explanation.
Kylo Ren Proved His True Force Potential Off-Screen The more likely scenario for Kylo Ren finding his way back to Exegol in The Rise of Skywalker is that he used the Force to guide himself there. Between his strong bond with Rey and the strength of his Skywalker lineage, it’s not surprising Kylo Ren is that powerful. Using the Force as his own personal wayfinder shows what potential Ben Solo had as a Jedi.
While Ben Solo was never shown to live up to his full potential Jedi as the prequels had done for Anakin Skywalker and the original trilogy did for Luke, it was still meaningful to see Kylo Ren turn towards the light side of the Force after suffering through so much internal conflict.
They ruined Kylo. 🤷♂️
