When Kylo Ren was introduced inStar Wars : The Force Awakens , he was distinctly ghost with his grandfather . Kylo Ren saw himself as the embodiment ofDarth Vader ’s bequest , and believed his goal in life was to complete the Dark Lord of the Sith ’s delegation . It was never exclusively clear what Kylo Ren believed Darth Vader ’s commission to be , though .
No doubt Kylo Ren was grip by the apparent parallels between his own experience and those of Darth Vader , but he was blissfully unaware this was simply because they had both been pull strings byPalpatine .

Rae Carson ’s novelisation ofStar war : The Rise of Skywalkergoes further , imply Kylo Ren never truly understood Darth Vader at all . In one early scene , Kylo Ren strides through Corvax Fen , one of the few patch of liveliness onthe planet Mustafar . He considers why Darth Vader would call this planet household - and gets it wholly unseasonable .
" Kylo Ren evidence clemency to nothing and no one , but he had a scrimy grasp for things that struggled to survive . Even though the close lava stream was many kilometer by , it seemed as though the air ought to be too red-hot , too chemical , for lifetime to rightfully expand here . As they ’d landed , Hux had proclaimed the satellite a ' desolate hellscape , ' and Kylo had n’t bothered to correct him . The truth was , Mustafar was pullulate with aliveness - all connected through the Force . Like those wretched cultist he ’d just killed , who ’d been obsess with protecting Vader ’s bequest . Or this forest of twisted irontrees they endeavored to civilize . Or even the extremophile organisms that swarmed the lava flows . All thin but compulsive , maimed but never-say-die .
It was no wonderment his grandfather has chosen this place for a home . "
In reality , of course , Darth Vader had a far more inner connection toMustafarthan Kylo Ren look to have suspected . This planet was rich in the dark side of the Force , and as such Darth Sidious prefer it as one of his main ground during the Clone Wars . InStar Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith , the newly - baptize Darth Vader headed to Mustafar to slaughter the Separatist leaders . He was pursued there by Padmé Amidala and Obi - Wan Kenobi , and in a moment of anger Vader killed his darling married woman . He then duel Kenobi , and was left critically wounded , with Palpatine forced to transform him into a cyborg to keep him awake . In a common sense , then Mustafar was the major planet where Darth Vader was truly produce .
The Emperor originally sent Darth Vader to Mustafar in orderliness to torment him , to force him to confront the demons of his past times . But DarthVader swiftly found another reason to call Mustafar abode , when he learn of legends of a Mustafarian gemstone calledthe Brightstar . As revealed in Oculus VR’sVader Immortalgame , the Brightstar could be used to perform a dreary side ritual that would revive the dead . Darth Vader hoped to acquire the Brightstar and rise Padmé , an act that would potentially have been potential , but would have required the sacrifice of the full planet . Far from impressed by Mustafar , Darth Vader exist on the hellscape because he hear it as a agency to an end - nothing more . Kylo Ren ’s loser to appreciate this paint a picture that , for all his cognition , he had fundamentally failed to understand Darth Vader at all .
