Star Wars: Comics In Canon – The Rise Of Kylo Ren (Redux): How Ben Solo Destroyed Luke’s Jedi Temple & Bled His Lightsaber Crystal, Plus The Knights Of Ren, Snoke & More – Ep 109

HOW DID KYLO REN GET HIS RED LIGHTSABER AND WHAT HAPPENED TO LUKE’S JEDI TEMPLE? In ep 109, Mike delves into the archives to redo the four Rise Of Kylo Ren comics, giving much more information than when he tackled it previously (in episode 1, over 2.5 years ago), including connections to The High Republic, the 2020 Star Wars comics, the 2017 Darth Vader comics, Crimson Reign and gives much more information on the Knights Of Ren! He also delves into the process of bleeding a lightsaber crystal and explains how Kylo got his iconic lightsaber from the sequel trilogy!

This episode was first released on the feed of Comics In Motion, in October 2022.

This comic mini-series is around 28 ABY (flashbacks between 18-25 ABY), approximately 6 years before the events of The Force Awakens.

The Rise Of Kylo Ren is written by Charles Soule, with Will Sliney as the artist and Guru eFX as the colourist, issue 1 was released December 2019, issue 4 released March 2020 and the trade paperback collection was released August 2020.

In ep 108, Mike delved into the fourth batch of Crimson Reign comics, where the infamous Knights Of Ren (& their leader before Kylo) attempt to steal a key from Darth Vader while the Crimson Dawn conspiracy continues to plunge the galaxy into chaos. Plus, the Bounty Hunters crew try to escape a horde of Unbroken Clan loyalists, Vader probes Sabé & Ochi about Crimson Dawn, Commander Zahra makes a daring gambit against the entire Rebellion fleet and Aphra finally gets her hands on the Spark Eternal…

TY TORRICK’S MYSTERIOUS PAST IS REVEALED! Mike starts this episode with a brief bio on Ty Yorrick, where the Monster Of Temple Peak comics sit in The High Republic and what Tholothians (Ty’s species) are before he delves into the plot of issue 1. As well as going through the plot of these 4 issues, Mike provides information on various species (including Gundarks, Segredos & more), various planets and other connections to the rest of the SW universe – this episode is a must-listen for any fans of The High Republic book The Rising Storm!

These High Republic comics are set in 231BBY, in the first phase & second wave of the High Republic; after Light Of The Jedi but before The Rising Storm.

The Monster Of Temple Peak 1 was released 11th August 2021, issue 4 was released November 17th 2021 and the trade paperback collection is to be confirmed. Cavan Scott is the writer of these comics, with Rachael Stott as artist (& cover artist) with Vita Efrenova & Nicola Righi as colour artists.

This episode was first released on the feed of Comics In Motion, in February 2022. Mike tackled the first volume of High Republic comics (by Cavan Scott) in episode 84 of SWCIC and the first volume of HR Adventures comics (by Daniel José Older) in episode 86 of SWCIC.
