gffa:Star Wars Adventures #30 | The Rise of Kylo Ren #1These two comics came out within in a month of each other and it’s entirely possible that it was just two authors (Michael Moreci and Charles Soule) touching on a similar character trait, but it was sort of fascinating to see these two moments so close together, even if they’re in tonally different comics.The Star Wars Adventures one is mostly this hilarious hissing catfight issue between Kylo and Hux who are getting on each other’s nerves and are set off by the slightest annoyance at each other, while The Rise of Kylo Ren has a much more serious moment, where the other Jedi are asking Ben for clarification on wtf just happened, because Luke wouldn’t just attack one of his students like that and you could never– “What? What, Voe? You don’t think I could do it? You don’t think I’m straong enough in the Force?”Both are about Ben reading way too much into what someone else says and immediately lashing out because he thinks they’re questioning how strong he is, you really get a sense of him hanging his hat on the idea of that power and strength, because even when people are clearly not saying that (as in TROKR), it’s the first place his mind jumps to, that Hux clearly isn’t saying he’s not physically strong enough, but that Hux is trying to get involved with the First Order stuff again.That these moments are far and away more about how Ben Solo sees himself and how is self-esteem is cracked and fractured, so he patches over it with anger and rage and “I’ll show you how strong I am!” lashing out, instead of actually hearing what they’re saying or taking a look within himself to settle more firmly in his own skin. -- source link
