i see what you are saying, and that the ST has built a new sort of narrative. the thing is, i don't buy it at all cos they did a terrible job. i don't buy "pull to the light", i don't buy the idea that the force created the dark Kylo Ren and the light Rey to answer him. at this point i wouldn't put it past them to eventually say Kylo Ren was the light all along, tricked ya! the force doesn't create people, spawning them in like
Battlefront 2. people are born, they are still humans, and they have this innate mystical power, which they can use for good or evil. it is what you do that matters. also this is an entire 180 from
TLJ's democratizing of the force. baffling retcons here.
OT had the Sith as simply fallen Jedi. no children were being born as demons, fully evil. Anakin grew up as a regular kid, that is the point of making
TPM. he needs his innocent adventure. we all do. it is the human story. yes the Jedi were flawed, but again, these are humans. this new ST force stuff, it is as inhuman as the company producing it. the problem is, they did a very poor job setting up the mythos, and entirely misunderstood the force. they lampshade this, over and over, Han Solo and Luke Skywalker themselves call it out, "The writers have no idea what to do, so they will make a joke about that, one that will play out when translated to any language and market around the world." Lucas was very particular about his world design, the ST is as vague as can be, by design.
what is "his own spirit"? what is this "pull to the light"? is he already a Sith? no? was Snoke, his trainer, a Sith? then why is he asking this guy who is not a Sith if he is Dark Side or not? it is told to us over and over that they are not the Sith. so it begs the question, why would Kylo follow a guy that is not a Sith? ah, Snoke doesn't matter, he's a nothing character, i keep forgetting that.
what about Kylo's turn with Luke? we know Luke did the horrible thing of turning on his lightsaber but then Kylo attacked his master and went on to kill the other Jedi students and torch the school before going on to fight w the bad guys. um, isn't he already a Sith?
i would say so, but the filmmakers are not convinced. what are we waiting for? is he at 77% Dark and we need him S rank 92% at least for him to be Dark Side class? how many people need to die before he becomes a Sith? it doesn't make any sense. "pull of the light"? this guy decided not to kill his mom but let his friends give it a try the day after he killed his father. the same day he also watched trillions of people die through the coordinated actions of him and his friends. yes somehow, still feeling a little pull to the light? lol ok.
