​Rey and Anakin’s lightsaber: what went wrong this time?

After the nth rewatch of the movie I remembered something that was bugging my mind since the first watch, but that I could never really put to focus.

We all remember the snow fight and how Anakin’s lightsaber reacted only to Rey’s call, even though Kylo was clearly the most skilled Force user among the two at the time. The reason behind that plot twist was probably that the lightsaber, and therefore the Force, was on Rey’s side in that moment, because she was right – she was the ‘Jedi’ in that fight and Kylo was the 'Sith’.

Let’s take a look at what happens in TLJ, instead:

Rey calls for Anakin’s lightsaber, and since she just refused to join Kylo, you would think the lightsaber would once again go to her, because she’s acting like a Jedi would. Instead, it seems that Kylo manages to stop it.

Or is it just that the lightsaber doesn’t want to go to neither of them? 

Kylo, as we see throughout the movie, is not completely 'dark’ anymore. But Rey isn’t completely 'light’ either. As much as she talks about the Jedi like a crazy fangirl, she actually doesn’t know anything about them, nor she behaves like one. As some fellow shipper pointed out here on Tumblr, she’s the one who fights like a Sith with the Praetorians, while Kylo is the one who fights like a Jedi.

What does this mean? That they both moved to a grey zone. Could it be why the lightsaber doesn’t react to neither of them? Is the Force sending a message? The lightsaber acts like it can’t reject Kylo anymore, and that’s how he manages to stop it from flying directly into Rey’s hand. Or maybe, the lightsaber can’t neither reject Kylo nor accept Rey, because they both broke out of the old, pre-established roles of Jedi and Sith. There’s no black and white anymore, and the fact that the lightsaber ends up split in half might mean something: balance. Half light, half darkness. Yin and Yang. Ben and Rey.
