Summary: This is the first episode in our Psychology of the Characterization series. Our premise is that the three leads of the sequel trilogy: Rey, Kylo, and Finn, share a core conflict that develops in different ways because of their individual character traits, life situations/environments. We hope this analysis will provide a deeper insight into these characterizations, and believe the shared conflict informs their character arcs up until now and through episode IX. In this episode we focus on Kylo; we talk about his personality structure and relationships with his parents, Rey, Luke, and Snoke. We talk about trauma, narcissistic traits and other psychological traits that can be seen in the character, and what it means for the Sequel Trilogy, for Reylo and for Star Wars Episode IX. Lee's focus is primarily on the psychoanalyst Heinz Kohut and his work in Self Psychology, but other prominent analysts and theories make an appearance.
