So unmasking is him becoming an individual (great lets progress this story). oh wait, the rest of the movie is full of backtracking.
Remember the line from episode 1 "I'm a person and my name is Anakin"? That's a third wall break as if to say - if you want a simplistic good and evil thing, Star Wars is not for you.
*4th wall. Star Wars was a simplistic good and evil story for 4-6. Only in 3 did palatine suggest embracing light & dark (& somewhat in 2 questioning why the jedi cant love).
& kylo suggests getting rid of light & dark then just goes back to dark because reasons.
And that's the entire poetic justice of Kylo Ren - the more he tries to kill the past(sever his connections like the Jedi were so fond of) the more it comes back to haunt him.
Are you kidding me?! Kylo never ever suggests getting rid of dark and light. He suggest getting rid of the PAST(order). He want's to dive into chaos/nihilism to escape his feelings.
“It’s about the characters gravitating toward balance by finding a way that’s not full-light or full-dark.”
We been talking about "balance"(and what the hell does it mean) since 1999 my man. This is nothing new.
you mean the jedi have been failing to understand what the definition of balance is since 1999.
Leaving the Jedi & Sith behind. Every time one side becomes more powerful the other rises to meet it. Kylo & Rey teaming up would merge the light & dark.
