Warning!

However, the Supreme Leader is sorely mistaken as this newStar Warsissue continues.

Darth Vader confirms that everything that makes him so “magnificent” was achieved by his own actions.

Vader’s power was singular, and he alone claimed his power in the dark side.

It wasn’t through the aid of Palpatine, or was merely given to him.

Was This Vision Kylo Ren’s Most Genuine Encounter With Vader?

Palpatine’s secret manipulations presumably include the times when Kylo Ren sought guidance from his grandfather’s mask.

With that in mind, this new vision is likely even more significant in theStar Warstimeline.

Kylo Watches Vader Kills Rebels in Legacy of Vader #3

The son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, Ben was manipulated by Palpatine through the Force for most of his life, influenced toward the dark side of the Force. A misstep by Luke Skywalker ultimately left Ben feeling he had no choice but to embrace the dark side, and he became Kylo Ren, a key figure in the First Order. Kylo Ren’s heart remained deeply divided, however, even after he ascended to become Supreme Leader of the First Order. He was ultimately redeemed by Rey, with whom he shared a remarkable Force bond, and by the love of his parents.
