The first two movies of the sequel trilogy have shown Kylo Ren's conflict with himself in being pulled to the Dark and Light Force. As a result, Star Wars fans have always been curious about where the character will eventually end up in. And since The Rise of Skywalker is finally here, not only will it conclude the Skywalker Saga, but will also feature an epic Kylo Ren scene.

This article contains SPOILERS for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

One of the most heart-wrenching scenes in Episode IX was the death of General Leia. This happened while a battle between Rey and Kylo Ren ensued, which got him stopping in his tracks while Rey grabbed the opportunity to stab him. Both of them felt this and as Kylo Ren sat and processed what just had happened, Rey seemingly felt guilty and healed Kylo in the process. The heroine then rode off with Kylo's TIE fighter and burned it down.

What follows is another emotional scene where Kylo is left at Kef Bir. His father, Han Solo, shows up through his memory. The same lines from The Force Awakens were repeated, but this time, Kylo Ren tells Han that his son is dead. His father responds by saying that Kylo is the one who is dead and that his son is alive. As Han touches Kylo's face, he didn't respond, but his father understood this silence. "I know," he uttered. Kylo throws his saber into the water, thus finally getting redeemed and showing his turn to the Light side.

Ben Solo then races to Exogol where Rey is seen facing Emperor Palpatine. When the heroine was about to strike the Sith Lord, she felt Ben's presence. Ben was seen surrounded by Knights of Ren but has no saber with him. Using their force connection and the two sabers, Rey gives Anakin's weapon to Ben.

The following scene was a really epic one, using his grandfather's lightsaber, Ben fights off the Knights of Ren. A scene where he took a breather and sliced through one of the Knights was a really cool Ben Solo moment, too.

That being said, it is quite unfortunate that we didn't get to see more of Ben in the sequel trilogy since he used his own life to heal and bring back Rey.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was released in cinemas today.
