Star Wars: The Last Jedi gave Kylo Ren more agency as a villain as he stepped out of Vader's shadow, but The Rise of Skywalker reversed those changes.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi allowed Kylo Ren to have more agency as a villain, but Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker reversed all those changes. As the most prominent villain in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, Kylo Ren had big shoes to fill. Not only is Darth Vader still one of the most iconic villains in popular culture today, but Kylo's background intrinsically linked him to the Skywalker family and all the baggage that comes with it.
When Kylo destroyed the helmet and killed Snoke, he finally took control of his personal narrative. By ditching the mask in The Last Jedi, Kylo could no longer hide behind his grandfather’s legacy. Instead, he took ownership of his hate and his power and allowed the galaxy to see his true self. And, while at first glance, Kylo’s killing of Snoke parallels Vader’s betrayal of Palpatine, their motivations were completely different.
Kylo Ren's Arc In The Rise Of Skywalker Made Him Another Vader Palpatine’s return in The Rise of Skywalker is a convoluted plot point for many reasons – it showed that the final movie in the sequel trilogy was too reliant on fan service and nostalgia, especially. Perhaps even more egregious is the damage it did to Kylo Ren as a standalone villain.
How Kylo Ren's Star Wars Arc Could Have Been Much Better Parallels can be powerful storytelling tools, but The Rise of Skywalker took it too far – Kylo’s story had no originality to it. Sometimes villains should remain villainous. Kylo’s lack of redemption could have made Rey’s story more powerful, too. As one half of a Force dyad, Kylo’s choice to remain in the dark would have affirmed Rey’s decision to side with the light.
