Summary
The Emperor is dead, the First Order vanquished, but the darkness still lingers, as does the shadow of Ben Solo’s past.
In the aftermath of Exegol, Ben emerges—not as the savior, but as a man tethered to his mistakes, haunted by the name he once wore: Kylo Ren. He cannot reconcile the blood on his hands with the hope Rey places in him. Redemption, he believes, is a dream too far, for the darkness inside him has never truly gone. He is neither light nor dark, but something in between, a soul adrift. Every time he draws on the Force, the ghosts of his past rise up to meet him, and he questions whether he is worthy of the future they are trying to build.
Rey, too, is lost. The last Jedi, a title she never asked for, the weight of a dying order pressed upon her shoulders. She is the keeper of hope, the bearer of tradition, but she is also a child of the galaxy’s scars. The Jedi are gone, the Sith crushed underfoot, but what path does she carve for herself in this new dawn? How does she honor the Jedi legacy when she, too, is broken?
