Kristin Beaver’s Skywalker: A Family At War now offers key insight into what happened to Ben Solo when that scandalous truth about his connection to Darth Vader was broadcast out to the galaxy: “The revelation felt like a betrayal. Ben, who took after Anakin Skywalker in his powerful Force abilities and hot-headed nature, was crushed by the realization that his parents and his uncle had known the truth for decades yet had not seen fit to share it with him. He was incredulous that he had been left to discover the damning fact along with what felt like everyone else in the known galaxy. And the fact that his family had kept such a dramatic piece of information hidden seemed to justify every dark impulse and feeling of paranoia he’d entertained in his young life.”

Between Leia keeping his true family history a secret, and Luke being so scared of Ben’s power that he almost killed him, any therapist in the known universe would understand why Ben Solo had serious family and/or trust issues.
