UNKNOWN REGIONS PODCAST: Episode 11 From Blue Butterflies & Baby Ben to Ren

Will we ever stop talking about Ben Solo/Kylo Ren? Not likely! In this episode we focus on one, Ben Solo, both as an innocent roly-poly baby child and also as we follow his turn to the Dark side becoming angst-ridden Kylo Ren. We begin by musing about Ch 2 of Star Wars Roll Out's "Ben Solo and the Bug Hunters" as we begin a new segment, "It's MetaFORCEical" in which we will explore the metaphorical layers found in Star Wars. What do we know about Roll Out's mastermind creator, Hideo Itoyanagi? Two interviews we found shed some light on him. Next, now that the series is complete, we finally take a deep dive into the BRILLIANTLY written (by Charles Soule) and beautifully drawn (by Will Sliney) comic series "The Rise of Kylo Ren" about which I have....a lot of complicated feelings.
