SPOILERS

I will say, Kylo Ren was GREAT. I love his arc and thought it was incredible, very reminiscent to Darth Vader's. His redemption scene was definitely my highlight of the movie--and quite a surprising one considering Harrison Ford has no love for Star Wars.

I just wish the movie didn't end with him biting the dust, Rey should have stayed dead. It would've made everything much better in my opinion. I imagine something along the lines of Ben Solo training a new generation of Jedi--not the same as before, maybe something like Grey Jedi--which I think would be poetic as he goes from killing the old Jedi Luke tried to revive, to building the Order again after recognizing his mistakes.

Regardless, I think Kylo Ren was done very well and find his story to be tragic. I hated him after TFA just because he killed Han Solo, and yet I was still interested in his character development. TLJ continued to explore him, and his sudden turn towards the end was an interesting writing choice that took his character in an unexpected direction. (Although I wasn't a fan of his screaming at everything, that was a little ridiculous and over the top) Finally, in TROS, his character arc is wrapped up in a satisfying way as Ben Solo returns and Kylo Ren dies.
