10 Star Wars Details Only Explained Outside Of The Films
2. What Happened To Luke's Jedi Temple - The Rise Of Kylo Ren
The tale of what happened to Luke's Jedi temple before the sequel trilogy began seems like a cut and dry sequence of events. Ben fell to the dark side when it looked like Luke was trying to kill him, and he burned the temple to the ground as payback before going to the First Order.
Well, the first part of that is definitely true.
Ben DID trap Luke under a pile of rubble and run off to the temple, but as was revealed in the comic "The Rise Of Kylo Ren" he wasn't going there to kill anyone, because he hadn't fallen QUITE yet. Instead he went to get help because his uncle just tried to chop his bloody head off!
Snoke then pulled a Yoda in The Last Jedi and blasted the whole temple and everyone inside it to pieces with a force summoned storm. Having nowhere else to go, he went to the First Order.
Would have been nice to have this be revealed to us in Rise, where we're supposed to root for Ben to make the right decision. Would have helped us root for him if we knew he DIDN'T murder his friends. Just saying.
