Just prior to

killing his father, Han Solo

Kylo Ren says that he has to do something difficult (paraphrasing).

Is there more to it other than the simple fact that his father is part of the rebellion?



Best Answer

In parts of the film we see Kylo Ren struggling to stay on the Dark side. He confesses this to Snoke and Snoke also has worries about whether or not Ren will be able to kill his father. Ren is also seen confessing the issue of the Light side to the melted helmet of Darth Vader.

He kills his father as a way to strengthen his resolve, a reinforcement of his testament to the Dark side of the force. I think in part he also believes this will make Snoke believe in his resolve as well.

The reasons then are ones that are often seen in Dark side users selfishness and power hungry-ness. These two motivations will also help to solidify his stance on the Dark side at least within his own internal struggle.

I'd also doubt the rebellion part has much to do with it anyway, until a few days prior Han was not even associated with the new rebellion except through Leia.

What did Kylo Ren mean when he said I know what I have to do?

Did Han Solo know what Kylo meant when he said, "I know what I have to do, but I don't know if I'm strong enough to do it?" Just rewatched TFA and I was always curious about this. It seems the straightforward interpretation is that Kylo believed, to truly be a dark sider , he had to kill his father.

What did Kylo Ren have to do?

A dark side warrior with a mysterious past, Kylo Ren was neither Jedi nor Sith, but a product of both sides' teachings. Once an apprentice of Luke Skywalker's, he killed his fellow students and drove Skywalker into exile, becoming a First Order warlord and servant of Supreme Leader Snoke.

What did Kylo Ren mean by I feel it too?

The line as it appears in the novelisation is more nakedly cruel, devoid of any genuine reassurance or empathy. The stress is on Kylo taking the map from Rey by force, and without the qualifier \u201cdon't be afraid\u201d reads as an empty attempt to calm her and make her more pliable in the face of his invasion.

Why does Kylo hit his wound?

And, as we all know, giving in to your emotions takes you to the dark side. That's why Kylo continuously hits his wound while fighting. This is to increase his pain, and by doing so, tap deeper into the power of the dark side. This helps him become even more powerful while fighting.
