H A V IN G STUDIED JEDI SKILLS as well as arcane dark side lore, Kylo Ren is lhe embodimenl of conflict, drawing upon contradictory teachings and deriving power from discord. Ren has taken pains fo bury his pasl, though he uses the unpleasant emotions that stir within him when reflectíng upon his youth to fuel his anger and dark powers. Through his veins courses the bloodline of the mosl pow erfuljedi and Silh, and Ren sees it as his birlhright to rule the weaker beings in the galaxy. As his power rises, it eclipses his past life leaving the young man further isolated. Kylo Ren aspires to build immunity to the light side - to succeed where Darth Vader and his sentimentality once failed. Kylo Ren is the m ost gifted apprentice of Suprem e Leader Snoke, a mysterious figure steeped in dark side know ledge w ho com m ands íhe f irst Order from a distance.

LIGHTSABER COMBAT The lightsaber skills of Kylo Ren are, ironically, responsible for that elegan! weapon and its combat forms remaining unknown to the galaxy at large. Kylo Ren betrayed the other Jedi students studying with Master Luke Skywalker, and ^ is responsible for their destruction. He has well eorned the nickname "Jedi Killer", whispered in the MT First Order ranks, as it was * his deodly lightsaber skills that prevented the return of the Jedi Order. ;

KYLOS LIGHTSABER Kylo Ren's unusuol lightsaber is an ancient design, doting back thousands of years to the Great Scourge of Malachor. The crossguard blades, or quillons, are tributaries of the primary central blade, ali spawning from a cracked kyber crystal that is the couse of their ragged, unstoble oppearonce. An array of focusing crystal octivators split lhe plasma stream into perpendicular blade energy channels, creating lhe quillons. The emitter shrouds on the crossguard protect the bearer's hand from lhe smaller blades.

She joins Finn on his inherited mission to deliver BB-8 to a Resistance stronghold. Though she still harbours ideas of returning to Jakku, Rey is catapulted into an adventure that makes it clear her fate lies along a path far from that dead-end desert w orld. H er skills as a warrior, pilot and m echanic are fully tested, and Rey com es to discover she has rem arkable abilities she never suspected.

W h e n Rey oversleps this fragile respect b y reneging on a Irade w ith Plutt, the temperamental junk boss orders that she be taughl a violent lesson. This is far from the only betrayal she has suffered. The harsh conditions on Jakku have taught Rey that g o o d fortune often invites trouble, o n d bullies only fear strength.
