      See, I just didn’t “get” that he has any convictions besides self-interest. What was Darth Vader’s grand plan that Kylo thought he was continuing? What would Leia and Luke have known about his grandfather that they could tell him? I’ll have to think about this next time I watch!

      I mean the stated legacy was "To bring balance to the force/the galaxy", which has, varyingly, been interpreted as 1: purge the jedi of their toxic ideology and corrupting influence on the galaxy 2: destroy the sith, particularly as it relates to the rule of two

      3: fix the deeply embedded corruption that brought the republic to its knees and allowed palpatine to destroy it and what the empire was intended (by those who brought it into being at the time) to fix. 4: stop the cycle of the force destroying peace and sowing discord

      This is a VERY not explicitly clarified point, and thus why kylo working through it does triple service of clarifying the Prequels as setting up these themes, and the retroactive themes imposed on the originals

      It would work wonderfully as a corporate value statement, because “bring balance to the force” is pretty much content-free 😄 In the prequels I thought of it as a prophecy that bit the Jedi in the ass because Vader “balanced” the pro-Jedi bias in galactic civilization…

      That was part of it, according to some, that it had to be a 1-1 equalization, but I don't subscribe to that. I view it in terms of the canon characterization of light = refraining, Buddhist abolition of desires, vs dark= ambition, will to power, the force as a means to change.

      So in effect, the universe swung from the unhealthy stagnation of the republic, to the authoritarian will to change of the empire, but the New Republic did not offer a synthesis or an equilibrium, so the conflict was continued without resolution.

      If you take the criticism of the republic to its logical conclusion, we see abject corruption, Corporatism, political stagnant, and being instigated into space WWII.

      For the sequels, we see the failure to learn leading to both sides being on the hook of weapons cartels who profit either way.

      I wish we could have seen an opening scene of 9 where kylo, having seized power and sent the rebels into flight, pulls a mustafar, and Long Knives Canto Bight. A statement on the explicit role the MIC profits off of and legitimizes fascism for their own gain, to their peril

      We kind of had that with the execution of the Separatist Council at the end of RotS
