3) Step Into The Light
The balance between the light side and dark side is pivotal in Star Wars mythology, dictating the morality of key players like Luke Skywalker and Emperor Palpatine. Much has been made of the temptations that the dark side holds, but Kylo Ren is the first evil character to openly admit that he’s been tempted to turn to the light side.
Darth Vader obviously redeemed himself in the original trilogy, but that was a conscious decision he made due to the circumstances that surrounded him. Ren’s internal struggle with the temptation of the light side is an ongoing battle, one that is likely to fascinate more and more as the writers develop this further in the upcoming sequels.
For now though, Kylo has begun to shift further into the dark side after he murdered someone extremely close to him.
