Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) might have made a decision to completely turn towards the Dark Side in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, but fans are still expecting the wayward son of Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Leia (the late Carrie Fisher) to veer towards the path of redemption in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
While Lucasfilm has been keeping The Rise of Skywalker's secrets under wraps, rumors and leaks continue to circulate online, and as it turns out, one of the newest reports suggests that Kylo Ren's going to get a little help returning to the Light in Episode IX.
According to a new post by Redditor u/JediPaxis, a Star Wars fan known for making reputable Star Wars spoilers, Han Solo will make a surprise return in The Rise of Skywalker to help bring his son towards the path of redemption.
This leak might come as a major shock to fans. Han was killed by Kylo Ren in Star Wars: The Force Awakens after the smuggler attempts to bring back his son to the light. How can Han return in Episode IX?
The leak suggests that Han will return to Kylo in a vision, telling his son that it's "never too late to return to the light and make the right choice."
This visit from his dead father will sway Kylo Ren back to the light – though we suspect that other major events will take place to help reinforce the character's decision.
What do you think of this new leak? Do you think we'll get to see Han Solo again in Episode IX? Feel Free to share your thoughts in the comment section below.
