my thoughts exactly.

No, I meant from Ben/Kylo. Him being on the light side gives a good chance for character exposition while converting right before he dies tells us next to nothing. Basically, he's probably going to turn good at some point, I just hope we get more than a couple minutes of seeing it.

I don't think kylo is based of revan. the mask is similar, granted, but he still feels closer to Jacen Solo in many ways - just younger, less powerful, and less stable.

that's my point, her whole character has no reason nor explanation. she can do everything, never fails and always manages to come out on top all while having no real personality or defining character traits.

Personally I want Kylo to be the hero of this story, the one who has been to both extremes and takes to heart his uncle's teachings (if that is how it hopefully will go).
That would not only make sense but actually be great writing they boy who was raised in the force grows up to realize that the previous two methods which he was a part of are both broken so he forges a new path seperate from both and literally brings balance to the force instead of some mary sue
