Summary: We discuss how Kylo Ren / Ben Solo will eventually make up for his past mistakes, find and receive forgiveness, and how/if he can repent and do penance. We discuss the need for some kind of penance from Kylo's part and what could happen in this direction. #bendemption #savebensolo 00:00 Intro 1:35 Vader was redeemed even after terrible crimes, so that bodes well for Kylo. 3:12 Kylo has been suffering for a long time. 6:15 Stories need meaningful character arcs, and a redemption arc needs to be meaningful. 7:48 What can Kylo do to make up for his mistakes? 8:36 Kylo needs a selfless sacrifice. Just doing it for Rey doesn't cut it. 13:16 What about the First Order? 15:04 Kylo and Leia. What role will Ben Solo's mother play in his redemption? 17:24 Luke's role in Kylo's redemption. What is going to happen in Episode IX? 19:00 Seeing some of Kylo's past and understanding his choices is important for him and for the audience as well. 21:04 Yes, Kylo commited patricide. 24:40 Kylo is machine on the outside only, in an interesting metaphor, if compared to Vader. 25:30 What about Rey? How can Rey forgive Kylo? How can Reylo happen? How is the Skywalker Saga going to continue? 34:48 Luke's sacrifice for Ben is meaningful. 36:14 What about Anakin? Will force ghost Anakin show up in Episode IX? How is Kylo's idolization of Vader going to be solved? 39:36 Nope, you can't really let the past die. Kylo can't deny the truth that is his family. 43:34 Where do we go from here? What can happen in Episode IX for Kylo Ren / Ben Solo? 48:59 On forcebabies and the future of the Skywalkers.
