Biggest problem: Kylo does not regret his evil acts at all!

did he?

 

You make me crazy, but you also just made me laugh by using the troll face, haha.

 

I don't even understand this comment. Is this your way of establishing your opinion as a fact?

I don't care if Kylo Ren becomes redeemed or not. I don't care, because I'm not that impressed by how both J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson wrote his character. I feel sorry for Adam Driver, because he deserves a better character than this.


And I get the feeling that this desire for Kylo Ren's redemption is all about establishing "Reylo" as a couple.

 

Reylo doesn't have to happen, but I'm okay with it if it does. That's not why I want Ben Solo back, personally.

 

But he does regret some of his actions, even if it’s subconscious. It’s hinted at in The Force Awakens, and Snoke spells it out it in the beginning of The Last Jedi—Han Solo’s death only left Kylo Ren more emotionally conflicted and unsure of where he stands. If he were completely evil, he wouldn’t have spared Leia or Rey.

Kylo is trying to convince himself that what he’s doing is right, but deep down, Ben Solo is still there, hence why he can’t completely give in to the dark side. I’m not saying he’s redeemable, because what he’s done is truly horrible and I think his fate could go either way at this point. But I think it’s a stretch to say he doesn’t regret what he’s done. Part of him knows that what he’s doing is wrong, but he continues to justify it because he feels that his parents and uncle failed him.

 

It would be like if they took somebody who killed a room full of children and just redeemed him in the moments before his death.

 

no one would ever buy that. : o p

 

@McDiarmid, it's a fantasy story, you know that right? Even though I want Kylo to die in IX, I think it's very likely that he survives and gets redeemed.

To many people it would be an insult if he dies because then Han's and Luke's deaths were for nothing.

Forgiveness is a pretty good message. Furthermore: "That’s how we’re gonna win. Not fighting what we hate, saving what we love." => I think this refers more to Kylo and Rey than anything else.

If he gets redeemed and kills himself, then he's a coward. I'm sorry, but he needs to face the consequences.

 

fortunately Disney knows that Star Wars needs to carry a message of hope.
not just for the good who frankly don't need it, but for the broken who do.

 

If I could give you a standing ovation for this post, I would.

 

What do you think would children want to see more:
1) a man who gets redeemed and fights for the hero's side?
2) an evil man who gets killed?

This is what Disney is thinking.

 

i would give it to anyone who needs it.

why would anyone deny another human being hope?
i know i am no one to judge.

 

food for thought: give hope to the despots and then maybe they will stop feeling the need to trample others under foot.

 

Hope doesn't differ between "small" and "big" people.

I actually think Kylo Ren will be a good leader and people won't suffer because of his regime.
