[bleak]

Firstly, Kylo Ren carries no weight w/ me as a villain.

Secondly, who else thinks it would have been better w/ a double turn at the end of 8? Rey falls to the will of that grey thing and Kylo fails saving her. I can offer more sympathy for Kylo, and Rey should just be Vader's reincarnation.

Or Rey can be a good guy but she still should still be more closely linked w/ Vader, as they alluded to all throughout the last 2 movies. Then Kylo is just like, "Rey ur parents are simple farmers" and that's that. I was so into that movie when Luke was teaching her in using the force and it was showing her descent into the dark side. His line: "I've only ever seen one person go so fast to the dark side" or whatever gave me chills but they leave it cold at the end.

Ole greyneck held no weight to me either, his death meant nothing. There was no building up of Kylo or any of the bad guys, we're just supposed to assume he is a threat because of his link to the Order.

Some key things lend into the reincarnation theory:
Rey's reaction to Vader's lightsaber is 10x stronger than Luke's, w/ vivid flashbacks
Force training w/ Luke
Alone on desert planet, parents dead
Able to overpower the interrogation in 7 before she even knows she's got the Force


JUST GIVE ME MY CUSTOM LORE PLEASE
