Episode VIII. Oedipus Tenebri II: The Death of Kylo Ren

  • Summary

  • Kylo Ren is arguably the most compelling character in the Sequel Trilogy, but these Star Wars films leave several critical questions insufficiently or entirely unanswered.

    The second segment in a four-part series exploring (and perhaps redeeming) the Sequel Trilogy from a mythological perspective, and the second of two episodes concerning Kylo Ren, Chapter VI reframes Kylo's actions in Episodes 7-9 according to Ben Solo's broken psyche, i.e., his unresolved Id-Ego conflict.

    This chapter thus sheds new light on the drivers, actions, and choices available to Kylo Ren as the personification of Ben Solo's Id. Moreover, it reveals how Ben Solo's ultimate Fate is based on the Destiny of Kylo Ren--death at the hands of his counterpart in the Force, the source and catalyst of the end of Ben's psychological trauma: the scavenger Rey.
