The Star Wars sequel trilogy introduced the villainous Kylo Ren, whose fate gets a new direction in amazing Ben Solo fan art. Kylo Ren first appeared in 2015 in Star Wars: The Force Awakens as the son of Princess Leia and Han Solo who was obsessed with living up to Darth Vader’s dark legacy. Throughout the trilogy, however, the pull Kylo feels from the light side becomes stronger, and he begins a tumultuous redemption arc.
In a new work, artist UzuriArt imagines how Ben Solo’s character might have been styled if he had not joined the Knights of Ren.
The artist takes a redeemed Kylo Ren, aka Ben Solo, and portrays him to look more like his smuggler father. Complete with a blaster as well as his lightsaber, this version of Ben Solo has a more rugged, roguish look than the one he has as the Master of the Knights of Ren. While his dark pants and jacket still pay homage to Kylo’s cloak and sinister demeanor, the light grey shirt with black trimming is somewhat reminiscent of Luke’s outfit in Return of the Jedi.
