Ren quotes from Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

Tied on a string indeed, General Hux. Well done. The Resistance will soon be in our grasp.

Thank you, Supreme Leader. [leaves the throne room]

You wonder why I keep a rabid cur in such a place of power? A cur's weakness, properly manipulated, can be a sharp tool. How's your wound?

Kylo Ren

It's nothing.

Hmm. The mighty Kylo Ren. When I found you, I saw what all masters live to see: Raw, untamed power... and beyond that, something truly special. The potential of your bloodline. A new Vader. Now, I fear I was mistaken.

Ren

I've given everything I have to you... to the dark side...

Take that ridiculous thing off. [Ren takes off his helmet, revealing his bandaged facial scar] Yes... there it is. You have too much of your father's heart in you, young Solo.

Ren

I killed Han Solo. When the moment came, I didn't hesitate.

And look at you, the deed split your spirit to the bone. You were unbalanced, bested by a girl who had never held a lightsaber! You FAILED!!! [Ren tries to attack Snoke, but he blasts Force lightning into the ground which ricochets into Ren, blasting him back; the Praetorian guards draw their weapons in response] Skywalker lives! The seed of the Jedi Order lives. As long as he does... hope lives in the galaxy. I thought you would be the one to snuff it out. Alas, you're no Vader. You're just a child... in a mask.

Ren

Why is the Force connecting us? You and I?

Rey

Murderous snake! You're too late! You've lost! I've found Skywalker!

Ren

Did he tell you what happened? The night I destroyed his temple, did he tell you why?

Rey

I know everything I need to know about you.

Ren

You do? Oh, you do. You have that look in your eyes, from the forest. When you called me a monster.

Rey

You are a monster.

Ren

... Yes, I am.

Rey

I'd rather not do this now.

Ren

Yeah, me, too.

Rey

Why did you hate your father? [Ren turns around shirtless] Do you have something? A cowl, or something you could put on? Why did you hate your father? Give me an honest answer. You had a father who loved you! He gave a damn about you!

Ren

I didn't hate him.

Rey

Then why?

Ren

"Why" what? [pauses] "Why" what? Say it.

Rey

Why did you... why did you kill him? I don't understand.

Ren

No? Your parents threw you away like garbage.

Rey

They didn't!

Ren

They did, but you can't stop needing them. It's your greatest weakness. Looking for them everywhere, in Han Solo, and now in Skywalker. Did he tell you what happened that night?

Rey

Yes.

Ren

No. He'd sensed my power, as he senses yours, and he feared it.

Rey

Liar.

Ren

Let the past die. Kill it if you have to. That's the only way to become what you were meant to be.

Rey

I thought I'd find answers here. I was wrong. I've never felt so alone.

Ren

You're not alone.

Rey

Neither are you.

Luke

STOP!!!

Rey

Is it true? Did you try to murder him?!

Luke

Leave this island, now!

Rey

Stop... STOP! [knocks Luke down in the back of the head with her quarterstaff] Did you do it?! Did you create Kylo Ren?! [the two proceed to fight each other along the cliffside until she gets the upper hand, forcing Luke into submission with Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber] Tell me the truth.

Luke

I saw darkness. I sensed it building in him. I'd seen it in moments during his training. But then I looked inside, and it was beyond what I ever imagined. Snoke had already turned his heart. He would bring destruction and pain and death, and the end of everything I love because of what he will become, and for the briefest moment of pure instinct, I thought I could stop it. It passed like a fleeting shadow, and I was left with shame and with consequence. And the last thing I saw were the eyes of a frightened boy whose Master had failed him.

Rey

You failed him by thinking his choice was made. It wasn't! There's still conflict in him. If he would turn from the dark side, that could shift the tide! This could be how we win!

Luke

This is not going to go the way you think.

Rey

It is. Just now, when we touched hands, I saw his future. As solid as I'm seeing you. If I go to him, Ben Solo will turn.

Luke

Rey... don't do this.

Rey

Then he is our last hope.

I did not expect Skywalker to be so wise! We will give him and the Jedi Order the death he desires. After the Rebels are gone, we will go to his planet and obliterate the entire island. [Rey tries to use the Force to take Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber, but Snoke uses it to hit her on the head] Such spunk. Look here now. [uses the Force to move Rey toward the viewport to show her the Resistance transport ships being destroyed one by one] The entire Resistance on those transports. Soon, they will all be gone. For you, all is lost. [Rey uses the Force to take Ren's lightsaber] Oh, still that fiery spit of hope? You have the spirit of a true Jedi! [Rey charges at Snoke with Ren's lightsaber. Snoke picks her up with the Force and she lands in front of Ren. His lightsaber spins around and stops in front of him] And because of that... you must die. [uses the Force and turns Rey toward Ren] My worthy apprentice, son of darkness, heir apparent to Lord Vader. Where there was conflict, I now sense resolve. Where there was weakness, strength. Complete your training, and fulfill your destiny.

Ren

I know what I have to do.

Rey

Ben...

You think you can turn him? Pathetic child, I cannot be betrayed. I cannot be beaten. I see his mind: I see his every intent. Yes. I see him turning the lightsaber to strike true! [without Snoke knowing, Ren uses the Force to face Anakin's lightsaber toward him] And now, foolish child, he ignites it... and KILLS HIS TRUE ENEMY!!!
[Ren uses the Force to ignite Anakin's lightsaber and Snoke is cut in half at the waist. The lightsaber flies back into Rey's hand. Ren ignites his own lightsaber and he and Rey fight Snoke's Praetorian guards]

Ren

It's time to let old things die. Snoke, Skywalker, the Sith, the Jedi, the Rebels; Let it all die. Rey... I want you to join me. We can rule together and bring a new order to the galaxy!

Rey

Don't do this, Ben. Please, don't go this way.

Ren

No, no, you're still... holding on! Let go! [quickly calms down] Do you want to know the truth about your parents? Or have you always known? And you've just hidden it away. You know the truth. Say it. [Rey continues to tear up] Say it.

Rey

They were nobody.

Ren

They were filthy junk traders, who sold you off for drinking money. They're dead in a pauper's grave in the Jakku desert. You have no place in this story; you come from nothing. You're nothing... but not to me. Join me. [he extends his hand towards Rey] Please.

What... happened?

Ren

The girl murdered Snoke. [looks out a window to notice half of the Supremacy floating away] What happened?

She took Snoke's escape craft.

Ren

We know where she's going. Get all our forces down to that Resistance base, and let's finish this.

"Finish this"? Who do you think you're talking to? You presume to command my army. Our Supreme Leader is dead! We have no ruler!

Ren

The Supreme Leader is dead!

Long live the Supreme Leader.

Ren

Did you come back to say you forgive me? To save my soul?

Luke

No.

Luke

I failed you, Ben. I'm sorry.

Ren

I'm sure you are! The Resistance is dead! The war is over, and when I kill you, I will have killed the last Jedi!

Luke

Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong. The Rebellion is reborn today. The war is just beginning. And I will not be the last Jedi.

Ren

I'll destroy her...and you...and all of it.

Luke

No. Strike me down in anger, and I will always be with you. Just like your father.

Ren

No...

Luke

See you around, kid. [his Force projection fades away]

Ren

NO!

Ren

YOU TURNED HER AGAINST ME!!!

Luke

You have done that yourself!!

Ren

YOU WILL NOT TAKE HER FROM ME!!!

Luke

Your anger and your lust for power have already done that. You have allowed this dark lord to twist your mind until now.. until now you have become the very thing you've sworn to destroy.

Ren

Don't lecture the power of the dark side! I see through the lies of the Jedi. I do not fear the dark side as you do. I have brought Peace, Freedom, Justice and Security to the FIRST ORDER!!

Luke

Not the others seem to think they're waste time!

Ren

Don't make me kill you!

Luke

You're wrong. Soon I'll be dead, and my allegiance is to the republic-to democracy!

Ren

If you're not with me, than you're my enemy!!

Luke

Only feelings have now betrayed in his failure is absolutes. I will do what I must.

Ren

You will try!! [The two activate their lightsabers. Ren charges at Luke and engage in a fierce and furious duel each blow as he returns to a ready stance]

Luke

I failed you, Ben! I said, I have failed you!!

Ren

I will NEVER seen you again and leave the Jedi alone to take over! The Resistance is dead! The war is evil! This is the end when I kill you, I will underestimate my power against the last Jedi!! [lividly] YOU'RE AN INHUMAN MONSTER!!!

Luke

Then you are lost!! Every word of what you just said was wrong! Don't say such things to me! The Rebellion is reborn today! The war is just beginning! And I will not be the last Jedi!

Ren

I'll destroy her...and you...and all of it! I! GIVE!! UP!!! With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict, and NEVER letting mention that being such a bully, and you didn't do anything that’s mine ever bring order to the galaxy!!!

Luke

I'LL NEVER JOIN YOU!!! Strike me down in anger, and I will always be told you enough! He told me you killed him! Just like your father!
[Suddenly, Ren Snaps And He Launches Into An Rage Outburst In Anger, Furiously Growls And Angrily Grips His Lightsaber Tightly. Then, enraged with high pitched, savagely charges at Luke one last time, screaming furiously, but Luke is still standing. Growls angrily, he scowls into silence as his lightsaber through Luke before staring in bursts into tears, sobbing like giving up and shakes his fist in rages out of series ideas, which get more tense as he realizes he's been fighting a Force projection all this time - and Luke is still physically on Ahch-To]

Ren

I HATE YOU!!!!

Luke

See you around, kid. [his Force projection fades away]

Ren

I HAAATE YOOOOOU!!!!!
