The full character catalogue
Two Ben Solo designs from one era.
Torn Between Darkness and the Light
Born on Chandrila to Han Solo and Leia Organa, Ben carried the weight of two legendary bloodlines before he could choose what to do with either. Force-sensitive from birth and trained at Luke Skywalker's Jedi temple, he showed a raw strength in the Force that set him apart — and made him a target.
Seduced by Snoke and pulled toward the dark side, Ben abandoned the Jedi path and became Kylo Ren — First Order enforcer, patricide, architect of his own ruin. Yet the pull to the light never fully left him. It surfaced in flashes: a moment's hesitation, a bond with Rey that defied everything he had chosen to become.
His return came in the Rise of the First Order era — and it cost him everything he had left. The two designs on this page are drawn from that period: the Ben Solo Lightsaber in silver, and the Ben Solo SE Lightsaber in grey.
Redeemed at the last — Ben Solo's legacy is the Force itself, passed forward.
