Ashes to ashes.

…and for those who want an explanation and my thoughts on the Ashes of Kylo Ren Enemies™ :



To be honest I was surprised by the commotion the Ashes of Kylo Ren’s Enemies™ created. For me this is a really interesting device to tell about the character a lot more than ‘oh god he’s a monster~!!!11one‘. Let’s see how I interpret it, shall we?

First of all, those are not the ashes of just anyone. Even in a western culture, keeping ashes in your house means that it was someone important to you. That means Kylo Ren only has the ashes of people who influenced his life.

Secondly, this is a place where he places his helmet. What does the helmet mean to Kylo Ren? What is the hidden meaning? My interpretation is that the helmet symbolizes him being Kylo Ren, or rather his new identity emptied of stupid and foolish Ben Solo.

Let’s do some simple math here: ashes of important people + his helmet = His Journey to the Greater Power™



Allow me to crush your dreams now. You know who is also supposed to be there? Whose ashes Kylo Ren would now keep in his room? Han Solo’s. Merry Christmas. (ok, maybe I’m jumping into a conclusion here but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

To sum up, the Ashes of Kylo Ren’s Enemies™ creates him. Makes him Kylo Ren. You might say it’s creepy or frightening, that it makes him a monster, but for me it makes him human–it means he cherishes the life of those who were devoted so he could be a better version of himself.

disclosure: the fact that I understand it doesn’t mean I approve it. Any reasons behind killing someone doesn’t make a deed any better. But Kylo Ren is a villain so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
