Did you wonder how Kylo Ren got his hands on the mask of Darth Vader? We saw him admiring the charred mask and it led many to ask how it appeared in his possession.
Well, Marvel Comics has launched a newStar Warsseries set after the Battle of Endor which reveals who had the mask before Kylo Ren.

Another revelation in the comic is Luke informing Leia that their father wasDarth Vader, something unknown to Leia until this moment.
She takes time to pick up the mask and sit down with it, striking up a one-sided conversation with the charred remains.
Of course, the films never visit withLeiaand examine her feelings about her father, so this is a huge moment for her character.
Understandably, Leia holds a lot of anger towards her father and this moment in the comic gives her some time to process this.

As she sits beside the funeral pyre holding Vader’s body, she pulls the mask from the flames and says, “All I feel is anger - over all the things you did. The people you hurt”
Despite his redemption before death, Vader was still responsible for millions of deaths and the destruction of Alderran.
