Kylo Ren Tie Fighter Rise Of Skywalker

Okay, let's talk about Kylo Ren's TIE fighter in The Rise of Skywalker. Specifically, his... dramatic entrance. And maybe, just maybe, why I think it's secretly awesome.

I know, I know. Some folks hated The Rise of Skywalker. The plot twists, the convenient resurrections, the Emperor palpatine coming back. I get it!

Kylo's Grand Entrance: Was it Too Much?

But let's isolate one glorious moment. Imagine this: Kylo Ren, former Supreme Leader, looking all moody. He's brooding in his TIE whisper, like the space opera rockstar he is.

Then, BAM! Out of hyperspace he comes. He's obliterating First Order ships left and right, turning traitor to save Rey. Talk about a grand gesture.

Some say it was cheesy. Others, that it lacked explanation. And, alright, maybe the logistics of him switching sides again are shaky.

The Cool Factor: Over 9000?

But let's be honest: that TIE fighter scene was objectively cool. The sleek black ship, the laser fire, the sheer, unadulterated chaos. It's pure Star Wars spectacle.

And the sound design? Ear candy! Those TIE fighter engines screaming through the void are just... chef's kiss. It's a symphony of space combat.

Maybe I'm easily impressed by flashy visuals. But I think there's more to it than just pretty explosions.

The Unpopular Opinion: Kylo Deserved That Moment

Here's my spicy take: Kylo Ren earned that dramatic entrance. He'd spent two movies being conflicted, angsty, and generally a mess. He deserved a hero moment, even if it was slightly ridiculous.

Think about his arc. He tried so hard to be Vader 2.0. But deep down, he just wanted to be loved, darn it. He was a whiny space teenager turned supreme leader!

And who wouldn't want to fly a cool ship to impress their crush, I mean, the woman who can defeat them? Okay, his methods are questionable.

The TIE Whisper: A Symbol of Change?

His TIE fighter wasn't just a ship. It was a symbol. A symbol of his internal struggle, his power, and ultimately, his redemption. Remember how Vader used his TIE Advanced to blow up the death star? This is like, that, only good.

It's like saying, "I'm done with the dark side. I'm using my cool, intimidating ship for good now." It's a powerful visual statement, even if he could have just used, like, a regular X-Wing.

The black paint job is very him, too. A little bit edgy, and very, very powerful.

Is it Flawless? Nope. Is it Fun? Absolutely.

Look, I'm not saying the Kylo Ren TIE fighter scene single-handedly saved The Rise of Skywalker. Let's be real, no one scene could do that.

But it was a moment of pure, unadulterated fun. It was a reminder that Star Wars, at its heart, is about spectacle, adventure, and cool spaceships.

And come on, admit it. You cheered a little bit when he started blasting those First Order ships. Or maybe you just smiled. Either way, Kylo Ren's entrance made an impact.

Final Thoughts: Embrace the Space Opera

So, let's embrace the cheesy, the dramatic, and the slightly illogical. Let's celebrate Kylo Ren's TIE fighter for what it is: a ridiculously awesome moment in a galaxy far, far away.

Maybe it's not perfect Star Wars. But it's Star Wars. It's about space wizards fighting with laser swords, and that's what makes it great.

And if you still hate it? That's okay too. May the Force (and the awesome TIE fighter designs) be with you.

Now if you excuse me, I need to go listen to the TIE fighter sound effects on repeat. It's for research. I promise.

One last thing. Can we all agree Ben Solo deserved better? At least he went out in style, right?
