Ben Solo's Life As A Jedi

Ben Solo’s lightsaber

Ben Solo started his Jedi training in 15 ABY under the tutelage of his uncle, Luke Skywalker. Padawan Solo built his lightsaber somewhere between 15 and 19 ABY, as was the practice of the Jedi Order which Luke Skywalker tried to reestablish after the Great Jedi Purge. Solo became the "prize pupil" at his uncle's Jedi temple after inheriting his grandfather's connection to the Force, beating the integrated power of his fellow apprentices despite Luke Skywalker's assurance that they were all equal in the ways of the Force. Voe, a Jedi apprentice, sought to be a match for Solo's abilities in lightsaber fighting and Force might but never succeeded.

As he explored the galaxy with Skywalker, Solo defended himself with his own lightsaber. Solo battled the Knights of Ren in a deserted Jedi settlement on Elphrona in 19 ABY.

A New Mission

Solo was sleeping in his hut on the night of the annihilation of Skywalker's Jedi temple in 28 ABY, his lightsaber and his calligraphy set on a table close to his bed. After sensing the dark side's shadow within his nephew, Skywalker used the Force to probe Solo's thoughts and had visions of a future in which Ben Solo will usher in a galactic era of death and destruction. As Luke Skywalker opened his saber to kill his nephew, he instantly regretted his decision. At that same moment Ben opened his eyes to find his uncle standing over him as he slept ready to kill him. Ben, feeling betrayed by his uncle, used telekinesis to draw his lightsaber to his hand and fought his uncle in self-defense, feeling his life was in jeopardy.

Skywalker blocked Solo's strike with his own lightsaber; aware of Skywalker's greater Force expertise, Solo used his abilities to destroy the cabin in a distressed attempt to finish the combat before Skywalker could overcome him. Even though Skywalker was just unconscious, Ben Solo left Skywalker for dead amid the remains of his dormitory. While sobbing out, Han Solo swung his still-lit lightsaber in despair. A huge storm arose over the temple, which demolished it and killed all of the other pupils.

Tai, Voe, and Hennix, three Jedi novices, returned on an off-world assignment to confront Solo. Despite the fact that these three Padawans each had a saber of their own, Ben Solo left his on his belt and instead used his Force skills to defeat his foes. Solo used Tai's lightsaber in conjunction with his own to kill and eventually replace the Knights of Ren's commander. Voe was the only one of the three trainees hunted by Solo who was personally slain by Solo using Ren's lightsaber.

Solo becomes the new leader of the Knights of Ren after abandoning the Jedi way. With his name altered to "Kylo Ren," the fallen Jedi accepted his new identity as the "Jedi Killer," as well as his positions as the new master of the Knights of Ren, a First Order warlord, as well as Supreme Leader Snoke's dark apprentice.

Power Source for The Ben Solo’s Lightsaber

A lightsaber's power source is often in the shape of a crystal. Kyber crystals are extremely rare and can be found on a variety of planets in the Star Wars galaxy. Because they are sensitive to the force, they are great power sources for lightsabers. These crystals are responsive to energies and may be impacted when someone directs their energy into them. Like all the other Jedi lightsabers, the Kyber crystal was used by Ben Solo, to energize his weapon. In the instance of Ben Solo, he employed a blue Kyber crystal, hence his lightsaber's beams are inherently blue. A diatium power cell was also included in the grip as a backup power source. A sliding activation mechanism close to the top of the hilt was used to ignite the blade.

Ren accomplished to channel his concerns into focused rage through Snoke's training, pulling strength from the Force through his rage, but he lacked emotional control. Although Ren's rage pushed him to destroy Skywalker's vision, the Force projected the forms of Princess Leia Organa and Han Solo, begging their son to avoid the dark side.

Kylo Ren’s Destructive Weapon

Though not a Sith Lord, but as a dark side convert, Kylo Ren followed the Sith Order's practices, such as corrupting a Kyber crystal as a sacrifice deed. Ren used the crystal from own weapon for the procedure, while his grandfather Darth Vader, Anakin Skywalker's Sith persona, bled the crystal from a blade he took from Jedi Master Kirak Infil'a. Ren's crystal changed color from blue to crimson, but it was damaged in the process, leading his lightsaber to burn out the first time it was used.

The broken Kyber crystal was still recoverable, but Ren modified the hilt of his lightsaber with quillon exhausts to balance the crystal's energy due to the destructive amount of power it produced. As a result, he constructed a new red-bladed crossguard lightsaber, which came to represent both his power and his duality between the evil and light sides.

Usage of Kylo Ren’s killer weapon

Despite not having an official rank in the First Order military, Ren operated his lightsaber on different missions in his ability as an actual leader of the First Order Army. Ren's lightsaber killed a number of the Benathy, including King Kristoff, and the rest of their forces surrendered to the champion of First Order subsequently he murdered the Zillo Beast they revered as a deity.

Ren was notorious among the First Order's ranks for his explosive and turbulent nature, which prompted him to annihilate his surroundings with his lightsaber, in addition to exterminating villages as well as vanquishing planets for the First Order.

In the aftermath of the Starkiller debacle, Ren continued to utilize his crossguard lightsaber. Ren attempted to personally kill conspirators with his lightsaber while overseeing the First Order's search for the Resistance and conquering of the galaxy.

Ren utilized his lightsaber to execute a resident of Fondor as a message to the rest of the galaxy that no interaction with the First Order's adversaries would be permitted when the Resistance went through Fondor's star system. In addition to using his lightsaber to execute people, the Supreme Leader used it in warfare, fighting together with his forces as he had done at the time of his training under Snoke. Ren arrived at the Sith Citadel with his lightsaber after landing on Exegol with the aid of Vader's wayfinder.

First appearance

Lightsaber Fighting Style Of Ben Solo/Kylo Ren

Ben Soloused which of the seven classic lightsaber fighting forms? Although the evidence isn't conclusive.

Form V: Djem So

He was most likely a follower of Form V, namely the Djem So variety. Ben, like Luke and Anakin, used Form 5 extensively. He concentrates on leveraging his strength to overwhelm his opponents with strong overhead punches, which are a Djem So mainstay. Djem is a very aggressive form that relies on the user's strength to break through opponents' defenses while also redirecting opponents' assaults into stronger and more devastating offense.

Ben's ferocious combat style is reminiscent of Djem So, which necessitates a high level of speed and power in order to perform a barrage of assaults and counterattacks. Another of the Form V master's characteristics is his dexterous ability to parry blaster fire.

Form IV: Ataru

He would occasionally perform acrobatic maneuvers reminiscent of form IV Ataru. He used acrobatics to improve his fighting position and circular movements to strike from unanticipated angles. The constant utilization of physical blows in fighting is another characteristic of Ataru that Ben Solo/Kylo Ren adopts into his combat technique.

Form VI: Niman

Ben/Kylo's most recent significant style was Form VI Niman, which, although not his most prevalent or the footing for his offensive or defense, was a form in which he exhibited considerable competence and incorporated components into his general combat style. Ren did use strategies that were more frequently associated with other styles on occasion. For example, he used the Niman practitioner's trick of using the Force to push or drag opponents into places where they could be struck more readily. Kylo also exhibited the usage of twin blade Jar'Kai as part of this technique. At the time of praetorian guard combat, Kylo displayed this by fighting Ren and employing a unique variation of Jar'Kai.

Ren, on the other hand, was most likely a Djem So follower. That makes sense, given that he learnt battle as a young Jedi student from his uncle Jedi master Luke Skywalker, who is a well-known practitioner of Djem So.
