Despite making his turn to the Dark Side and ending up killing his father, Kylo Ren is pretty much still torn between both sides and has "too much" of his father's heart within him too. Star Wars fans never really got to see a lot of these similarities between them, but all that changed in The Rise of Skywalker.
This article contains SPOILERS for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.
It is already known that Ben Solo was redeemed in The Rise of Skywalker after his mother's death and seeing a memory of his father. Towards the last part of the film, we see Ben racing towards Exogol to help Rey in defeating Emperor Palpatine.
There was a scene in the film where Ben shot a blaster at one of the Knights of Ren, but he did so without even looking at what he was aiming at. This is very similar to the one Han Solo did in The Force Awakens where he shot a Stormtrooper.
Another clip shows Ben shrugging prior to fighting the Knights of Ren using his saber. Star Wars fans also noticed that this mimicked his father's when engaging in a fight. The last clip isn't from Episode IX but it shows Kylo Ren sliding in The Last Jedi, which is also similar to Han's in Return of the Jedi.
With just a few clips, it is evident that Ben has a very similar body language to his father, this is effectively shown in Episode IX when the character finally got his redemption arc. This also adds a nice touch with a nod to the iconic character in the prequel trilogy.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is now showing in theaters.
