actually an angle that could've been interesting in the sequel trilogy would be if part of the reason rey wanted to turn kyle back to the light so bad was because, after a life of being abandoned for nothing (she could control), that he continually and harshly rejected a family that loved him and wanted him back even after he had done unforgivable things. she just cannot understand how someone could throw away something like that!

#and then of course the reason is bc kyle craves power no matter the cost.#and y'know based on the political climate the movies were being based on i wouldn't mind having them lay on the antifascism real thick #no being is more important in the will of the force and what be it. plus more of that ''imperialism bad'' messaging too #anyway thoughts half formed bc its 4:30 am and my brain thought this was oh so important and won't go back to sleep until its done #oh yeah also lots of potential to bass boost the found family and legacy themes from here #could've had part of rey's struggle with her emotions be her jealousy/frustration at kyle. which gets better once there's cheesy moments #about how she has a new family now. and something something we can't control how we feel but we can control how we act on it #and instead of obsessing over kyle turning his back on his family. she can focus on doing her part to make them proud in her own right #this is nonsense but yeah. i think this might've made more sense than her basically forgetting that he killed her father figure #tried to kill finn and tortured her and also poe and all that if she was zoning in how like luke & leia and han in his final moments #didn't excuse any of that in the slightest but still wanted him anyway. and as someone left to conclude that she wasn't wanted.#that she wasn't worth going back for. i think it'd be a very understandable thing to get hung up on!#trying to figure out what makes him more worthy of love and coming up empty. but that's the thing! he's not. neither is more important #kyle was just lucky to have the family he did from the start. and thats the only reason. but again! she has a family Exactly like that now #who will always go back for her. and even if she didn't. she'd still be worthy of second chances because everyone is.#and when it sinks in and she stops unconsciously comparing herself to kyle: some kind of breakthrough w/ force connection #for thematic reasons.#so yeah thats my 4 am rambles will now attempt a sleep!#mitch rambles #sw #store wore posting
