Ben Solo sacrificed himself to save Rey in The Rise of Skywalker, but Star Wars Legends had a better version nearly two decades earlier.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker saw Ben Solo give his life to help Rey defeat Palpatine and the Final Order, but 18 years before that, the Legends continuity had already handled the death of Han and Leia's son more effectively. While they only had one child in Star Wars canon, they had three children in the old Expanded Universe . One of these sons, though very different from Kylo Ren in canon, met his end in a similar, heroic manner.
The Yuuzhan Vong invasion devastated the Solo family at the very beginning, as Chewbacca died in Legends saving Anakin's life. The youngest Solo was forced to leave Chewbacca behind on a world about to be destroyed, creating a rift between him and his father, and Anakin struggled to overcome his guilt throughout the war.
Anakin's Sacrifice Completed His Arc, Kylo Ren's Was Last-Minute Redemption Anakin's sacrifice managed to bring all his character arcs full circle, but Kylo Ren's only offered a hint of redemption at the end. Anakin had many demons that he struggled to overcome, most notably his fear of turning to the dark side, and his guilt over leaving Chewbacca to die. Throughout the war, however, Anakin became a hero and a leader, embodying the light as he sacrificed himself for his family.
