Even earlier than Star Wars: The Drive Awakens got here out and moviegoers discovered that Kylo Ren was actually Ben Solo, Darth Vader’s grandson, it was clear that Adam Driver’s character was a giant fan of the more-machine-than-man Sith Lord. This was showcased by him having Vader’s charred helmet and even chatting with it, however almost a decade after The Drive Awakens’ launch, we nonetheless don’t understand how Kylo obtained the helmet. Nicely, it’s wanting like an upcoming Star Wars story will lastly make clear that thriller.
As Star Wars followers will recall, on the finish of Return of the Jedi, following the Battle of Endor, Luke Skywalker burned his father’s physique in a funeral pyre on the forest moon. However clearly Anakin Skywalker’s stays had been disturbed afterwards, and Allegiant Normal Enric Pryde stands out as the one who did so. Pryde, who was performed by Richard E. Grant in The Rise of Skywalker, is getting his personal quick story within the upcoming e-book From a Sure Level of View: Return of the Jedi. Titled “The Steadfast Soldier” and written by Adam Christopher, an excerpt from the story shared by Del Rey Star Wars reveals that Pryde arrived to see the wreckage of the primary Imperial fleet and the second Loss of life Star, as you’ll learn beneath.

So right here we discover Pryde nonetheless getting over how the Empire misplaced this battle that paved the way in which for its final collapse and the institution of the New Republic. Nevertheless, it’s the point out of the “daybreak” that’s arguably extra necessary right here, because it signifies that Pryde is having these ideas on the floor of Endor. Why Pryde determined to step onto the forest moon reasonably than simply have a look from area after which depart is unclear, as is why he wasn’t current for the Battle of Endor. Nevertheless, on condition that we all know Darth Vader’s helmet didn’t find yourself staying on Endor, it’s completely potential that “The Steadfast Soldier” will see Pryde coming throughout Vader’s corpse and bringing the helmet again with him.
Granted, Endor is a big moon, however because the Ewok village close to the place the funeral pyre was held was additionally not too removed from the Empire’s protect generator bunker, it is smart why Pryde would know to land in that basic space. In fact, we all know within the many years after Return of the Jedi that Pryde turns into one among The First Order’s key leaders, so one can infer that he both willingly offers it to Kylo Ren within the instant years earlier than The Drive Awakens or, if Kylo is feeling fairly daring, has it taken from him. It’s a fairly a beneficial trophy to relinquish to another person both approach, however at the least Pryde had the advantage of realizing that Palpatine was nonetheless alive lengthy earlier than Kylo did.
We’ll know for sure what awaits Pryde in “The Steadfast Soldier” when From a Sure Level of View: Return of the Jedi is launched on August 29. In the meantime, you may stream all of the Star Wars motion pictures so as, in addition to the franchise’s TV reveals, with a Disney+ subscription, or you may look to the long run with our information of upcoming Star Wars motion pictures and TV reveals.
