So in the Force Awakens we all know that Kylo Ren
-
is obsessed with his grandfather, Darth Vader.
-
And we see him speaking to Vader's burnt up mask.
-
But how did he come into possession of it in the first place?
-
The short story Perfect Weapon may provide us with some answers.
-
That story focuses on Bazine Natal, who you might recognize as the First Order agent that turns in our heroes at Maz Kanata's fortress.
-
In the story Bazine is hired by a mysterious figure to retrieve a specific package.
-
It is very Mission Impossible. She gets the mission from a droid with a recording that then self-destructs after delivering it.
-
So, her job takes her to this old, run-down, psychiatric institute that used to be the home for a bunch of retired Storm Troopers
-
who are long since dead by the time she gets there.
-
She finds the package in the room of former Storm Trooper Captain named Jor Tribulus.
-
and we know that he was a Captain at the Battle of Endor.
-
So she retrieves the package and delivers it to her mysterious client.
-
Now
-
I believe, even though we don't get to see what's inside the package, it is very Pulp Fiction that way.
-
I believe that that package was Darth Vader's helmet because since we know that Tribulus was at Endor during the destruction of the second Death Star
-
I think that after the battle he stumbled upon Darth Vader's funeral pyre and decided to keep himself a little souvenir.
-
So then he keeps the helmet through all of these years until Bazine retrieves it and gives it to her client.
-
Who I assume is Kylo Ren.
-
Now of course all of this is just speculation, but its very heavily implied.
-
Perfect Weapon was a part of the journey to The Force Awakens story line
-
and I really love the way they did that.
-
That they answer some of these smaller questions we have about The Force Awakens by dropping hints in these other little stories.
-
I really hope they continue to do that for Episodes VIII and IX, and even the spin-off movies.
-
I really think its fun picking apart these little hints and piecing them together to make the full story.
