- I’d like Ben to survive. I can make it so when Leia becomes one with the force, she basically gives Ben a second chance at life. But having him alive on Tatooine is currently beyond my abilities. If I can’t make that happen, then Ben accompanies Luke and Leia when Rey adopts herself into the Skywalker family. Alive or dead, he deserves to be present. (FX by jonh)
I’ll just copy paste what I wrote in another thread regarding the same topic:
I always thought the only way to keep Kylo alive would be to cut him completely from the big Exegol showdown and move his scene with “Han” to the end of the movie -an open, bitter-sweat ending. It could be the last scene of the movie or the scene before the Tattooine ending.
It’s like, he came back to the light, but where can he go now? How will he redeem himself?
I believe it’s way better than what we got in the movie (basically Vader 2.0).
