10 Best Scenes When Movie Characters Turned Evil
10. Kylo Ren - Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi
When audiences first met Kylo Ren, he was clearly a bad guy, and it would take another movie to further flesh out how he went from being the son of Princess Leia and Han Solo, and a disciple of Luke Skywalker to the right-hand man of the leader of the First Order.
Ren's transition to the Dark Side was actually spread across two scenes, with one shown from three perspectives. The first scene was canonically his final transition to the Dark Side, having occurred later in his life. It was that moment when he fully embraced his destiny by thrusting his lightsaber through his father's chest.
While that did send him over the edge in terms of which side of the Force he was on, it wasn't the moment that set him on that path. In Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi, Ren and Luke explain how he went from a trusting padawan to the leader of the Knights of Ren.
The scene was explained three different times from multiple perspectives, but they all told the same story: one evening when Luke sensed the evil growing in Ben, he went into his home and stood over him with his lightsaber, ready, yet wavering to strike. Upon awakening, Ben saw what was happening, and he pulled the building down around them before heading out to recruit some, and kill the remaining students who sided with Luke.
