Fans only got to know Ben Solo, more famously known as Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) in the 2015 “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” Aside from being the son of Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and General Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher), details about his personality are very scarce.
Apart from idolizing his grandfather, Darth Vader, viewers wanted to know what pushed the Force warrior to be on the Dark Side. However, the known “Star Wars” theorist Mike Zeroh revealed that fans are about to see a glimpse of his past once again in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.”
Ben’s transformation as Kylo Ren
In “The Force Awakens,” a little teaser about Kylo Ren’s past along with his Knights of Ren was seen in a Forceback vision of Rey (Daisy Ridley).
Now, in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” Mike Zeroh revealed that fans will be treated to another flashback, Daily Express reported. “There will be another Forceback vision sequence,” he said in his new video on his YouTube channel.
He also added that the flashbacks in “Episode 8” will be the ones seen in “Episode 7,” only they are much longer. Some shots are from the 2015 film’s novelization while others are from the clips that didn’t make it into the movie.
To recall, in “The Force Awakens,” Rey saw a boy and another figure looking at the child. This unknown individual is believed to be Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis) looking at the young Ben Solo. He is said to be converting the kid to be part of the Dark Side of the Force that will eventually make him Kylo Ren.

Meanwhile, “Star Wars” fans and collectors are now looking forward to the new memorabilia they can buy that are “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” inspired.
