Kylo Ren is the dark warrior in Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. He attempts to use Rey in his plans of taking over the galaxy, but she is stronger than he anticipated. Kylo Ren was raised in the good side of the force, but later learned of his dark ancestry and chose to follow in those footsteps and turned his back on his entire family. Now he plans on ruling the galaxy and will use anyone in his path.
Rey is the newest member of the Star Wars family appearing in Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. Her natural colored attire isn’t too striking, but she carries a staff that she isn’t afraid to strike anyone with that comes at her with force. Rey was abandoned as a child and had to learn to take care of herself quickly. She finds herself face-to-face with Kylo Ren who has some pretty nasty plans with a new Death Star.

Beginning with A New Hope in 1977, George Lucas created a pop culture phenomenon with Star Wars. Estimated at over $42 billion, it is now the second highest-grossing media franchise behind Pokemon. The series takes place in an unknown galaxy where humans and aliens co-exist with a mystical element known as “The Force.” The Force separates two factions in the galaxy: Jedi who embrace the light side of the force through good, and Sith who embrace the dark side of the force through aggression.
In 2012, Walt Disney bought Lucasfilm to continue production. New characters like Rey, portrayed by Daisy Ridley, and Finn, portrayed by John Boyega, have become the focus of the latest films, The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi.
