Kylo Ren Will Return To Star Wars… Probably In 2026

Kylo Ren will return to Star Wars... probably In 2026 by the sounds of Marvel Comics writer Charles Soule

Charles Soule has become quite the regular writer of Star Wars comic books and novels, including the recent High Republic multi-series/media arc that kicked off in lockdown, with only The Broken Blade to find a home in that regard. While his Supreme Leader Kylo Ren series, Legacy Of Vader: The Reign Of Kylo Ren, just finished a Tom King-sized twelve-issue run, on quite a cliffhanger. Okay, not cliff, but close enough.

It always ends in flames for the Vaders. Charles Soule writes on his Substack newsletter, "What the hell kind of a series ender is that? What was I thinking? That's terribly inconclusive and unsatisfying. Who conceived of such a thing? The writer should be fired! (Though the incredible artist Luke Ross, colorist Nolan Woodard and letterer Joe Caramagna should get plum gigs until the end of time.) I hope we find out what all that means some day. IF ANYTHING. You know these writer types, thinking they're cooler than they are, pulling these dumb tricks when readers just want a cool story. Anyway."

I'd be expecting a new Kylo Ren series later in 2026, wouldn't you? Especially as Soules points out, "Apparently the collected edition of the first half of this series, the appropriately-named LEGACY OF VADER: THE REIGN OF KYLO REN VOL. 1 is doing gangbusters numbers. Pretty great to hear. I think the work we all did here is some top-tier storytelling, and it's great that word has spread and the audience is growing for it." Also.., a lot of people really want to see more Kylo Ren. And Marvel Comics is the place where that is still definitely happening…
