What would Ben Solo’s death mean for the SW sequel trilogy?

I’ve been talking about it a lot with my fiancé (also a huge SW fan and many of our friends and members of our family who follow the franchise since the beginning or - in case of younger ones - since PT). We came to the conclusion that Ben Solo’s death (which many fan-boys and antis insist on) makes no point for the whole concept of sequel trilogy. Why?

1. He isn’t a straightforward villain like Palpatine or Snoke. He is conflicted, torn apart - he is not a tormentor, he is a victim of someone much more powerful (Snoke) who wanted to use his powers and potential in order to destroy the abuser’s enemies (Skywalkers).

2. His backstory is tragic - a baby being targeted by the parasite since his conception, a child trying to get his parents’ attention - loved, but neglected due to his parents’ own agendas, a teenage boy who is desperately trying to find a father figure, a young man full of conflict within him (a conflict triggered by the aforementioned child predator) - finally “betrayed” by his own uncle who was supposed to understand his powers and help him (since his parents couldn’t).

3. Disappointed by the light, he turns to the Dark Side under the false belief that Snoke is the person who really wants to teach him something and who cares about him pretending to be the father figure young Solo is so desperate to find (after giving everything he has ever had to Snoke and to the Dark Side Ben Solo realizes that his father was right and that his master ruthlessly manipulates him in order to get what he wants, preying on his deepest fears and weaknesses). Sounds familiar? The same happened to Anakin because of Darth Sidious.

4. We meet him in his “darkest mode” - a person who wants to leave his past behind, hiding himself under the mask and cloak, isolating himself from others, trying to believe he is a monster indeed - unworthy of love and trust, he has nothing left to lose but to follow his master’s footsteps…

5. …until he meets Rey - a girl who had been abandoned as a small girl, traumatized and broken, looking for love and acceptance everywhere, the one who mirrors him in every possible way. His pull to the light is stronger than ever. Despite all the terrible things he has been doing as Kylo Ren (brainwashed and already turned by Snoke), we see a human (through Rey’s eyes) who is still capable of feeling compassion and falling in love (if someone says he isn’t in love with Rey, then we have seen a completely different movie).

6. Ben’s family is well aware they significantly contributed to his fall. Han knows very well he wasn’t the father he should have been (he practically was never there when his son needed him most). Knowing that there’s a fifty percent chance of getting out of their encounter alive - Han takes this risk. Leia knows that she shouldn’t have sent Ben and that she should have supported him instead of getting away from him. Luke is aware that he failed his nephew thinking that his choice had already been made following his dark vision of the future - contributing to making it true due to his own moment of weakness. What would be the point of Han’s death and Luke’s sacrifice if the final outcome was their only descendant’s ultimate falling to the Dark Side or death? What would it tell us about this family? That they somehow destroyed a good boy? What would it tell us about Rey? That she was naive and that there is no point in believing in someone? Finally, what would be the point of the whole sequel trilogy that introduced our OT heroes as a completely broken and miserable people touched by another huge tragedy that ripped their family apart if Ben Solo ended up as an irredeemable asshole?

This story is constructed the way it is on purpose. And I believe it’s not about Skywalkers’ ultimate fall, but about their ultimate victory over the Dark Side and evil forces that have been tormenting them for so long. That is why I believe Ben Solo will get redeemed, he will live and he will find peace and happiness by the end of it. This is what his family wanted for him. Han forgave his son the moment he was dying and was hoping one day Ben will be able to forgive him, too. Luke came to confront his nephew choosing the force projection technique on purpose knowing it would cost him life. But Luke became one with the Force on his own terms, making it impossible for Ben to kill him physically (and this was what Snoke had always wanted). Luke’s passing away had “peace and purpose” (both Rey and Leia felt it). Would Luke die peacefully if he knew his nephew would share the fate of his own father or become Snoke 2.0? Very unlikely.

Ben Solo is on his own now. There’s no Snoke, no Han and no Luke (all the father figures who severely disappointed him at some point). He has to reconcile with his family, come to terms with the past and accept who he really is. Perhaps Leia will somehow help him achieve that. Perhaps Rey will do so (after all, although romantic love pushed Anakin Skywalker into the arms of the darkness, it might be the resurfacing factor for Ben Solo).

I just saw a Bad Post that claimed if the original Star War came out today everyone would be super horny for Darth Vader bc he’s like Kylo Ren only badass and not shitty, and haha wouldn’t those crazy shipper types feel super stupid when they’d jumped the gun shipping Vader with Leia and/or Luke, and I just feel like OP of this Bad Post has missed several key points:

people *were* totally horny for Darth Vader from the moment the original Star War came out, you buffoon, you utter imbecile

the whole point of Kylo Ren as a character *within the narrative itself* is that he’s trying and failing to fill Darth Vader’s big stompy boots, and so of course he’s going to be a worse version of Vader than Vader himself is, but this doesn’t actually make him a shitty character, it turns out?

also there was this weird insinuation that part of what makes Kylo Ren a shitty character is that he’s good-looking, and conversely what makes Vader awesome is that he’s Not For Girls

also, y'all know fandom and shipping predate Tumblr by literally decades, right?

people *did* ship Vader with and Luke and Leia from the get-go because there was absolutely zero indication they were related and Tumblr’s weird anti-enemy lovers crusade is a fuckin historical anomaly

did I mention that Carrie Fisher shipped Leia and Vader? because Carrie Fisher totally shipped Leia and Vader. oh noes I guess she’s problematic now

I love the implication that people aren’t completely horny for Vader right now, btw. oh you sweet summer child. when I saw Rogue One half the theater nutted during the Hallway of Death scene

tl; dr people have always been horny for Darth Vader, die mad about it

Fun Fact About The Last Jedi and Episode IX

The light speed kamikaze event actually did not occur. The fact that the Resistance cruiser crashed at the same time the ships split in half is entirely coincidental. In reality, Kylo’s level of Being Torn Apart™ had reached a strong enough level due to his feelings for Rey that his Torn Apartness split the entire First Order fleet in two. This is the power of Reylo, and why it must be canon if the First Order is to be defeated in Episode IX.

It all comes down to ships, but not in the way the movie wants us to think. All the ships in Star Wars are code for romantic ships. Spread the word before Disney takes this post down because it is so canon they would not want it getting out.

(And don’t get me started on how GingerPilot’s tension made Starkiller base blow up.)

Question

Has anyone in the Reylo fandom taken a poll or done a ranking of the fandom’s favorite Star Wars movies? I’m always so interested in seeing other people’s rankings of the movies, and I’d love to do some type of poll that ultimately combines everyone’s answers into one ranking.

[over comms to Finn, Rose and BB-8 when they were infiltrating the Supremacy] Poe: You know, for people who are meant to be “blending in”, I’m hearing an awful lot of explosions.

[reylo-ren-bey-blog]

Holdo: We are the spark that will light the fire that will restore the Republic. Later Poe: We are the spark that will light the fire that will burn the First Order down. Finn: That’s not what Holdo said. Poe: What’s the difference? Fire destroys things, so mine is more accurate. Finn: Also more violent and sort of bloodthirsty. Don’t you think maybe it should be hopeful and inspiring? Poe: Destruction is inspiring! And fun
