I'm really excited about Star Wars: Legacy of Vader—Kylo Ren's inner turmoil could lead to some epic storytelling Charles Soule's knack for character depth makes me think this could be a pivotal addition to the Star Wars lore.

I'm really intrigued by Star Wars: Legacy of Vader and how it aims to flesh out Kylo Ren's character during such a chaotic period. It’ll be interesting to see how Charles Soule develops the emotional depth of a character who's often seen as more of an antagonist than a fully formed figure.
