Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 10 Theories On How It Ends

4. Kylo Ren Will Turn His Back On The First Order And Help The Rebels

Based on what information has been released on Kylo Ren, he seems to be a fearsome villain who wields his own homemade red lightsaber but isn't strictly a Sith Lord, he knows how to use the Force thanks to Snoke, Kylo Ren isn't his real name, and he is a Darth Vader fanboy. But based on interviews with Adam Driver about how Kylo Ren isn't strictly a bad guy, maybe there is the possibility of redemption for this wannabe Sith lord? One theory that has been floating around is that Kylo Ren is actually the son of Han and Leia, meaning that Vader is his grandfather. Due to some bad decisions during his youth, he follows the path of his grandfather and becomes obsessed with Vader's dark side whilst never knowing about the Anakin Skywalker part. Upon discovering Vader's tragic downfall in The Force Awakens through Leia or Luke, he decides to defect to the Light side instead and help bring down the First Order. A nice redemptive story is great and all, but seeing Kylo Ren be a bona-fide antagonist with wicked lightsaber and Force skills will work just as well.

My life story is nothing special. I haven't cured ebola, I'm nowhere near stopping terrorism, and I'm still working on that climate change problem. Instead, all I've done so far is put a few hundred words together in an attempt to make people laugh. You can follow me at @Fry_ying_pan but don't be offended if I don't tweet back. It's usually because I've spent too long trying to think up a witty response that the reply window has closed.
