Then why can’t all the times Kylo isn’t being unquestionably evil just be thrown under “Ben Solo?” Why couldn’t someone say; “it wasn’t Kylo feeling the call of the light side, that was Ben Solo momentarily showing through. Kylo is 100% evil.”
There is no indication that the First Order knows who Ren really is. Conversation about Han is left between Ren and Snoke.
Outside of the movie, I mean. Why couldn’t someone watching the movie say the above?
Because our perspective here is different from theirs. I said people in the Star Wars universe do this, not real world moviegoers.
Then I’m not sure why it was brought up in the first place.
JEDIT: Oh, and Star Wars has had more than 4 evil dark side characters (eg. Asajj Ventress), if you include The Clone Wars or Rebels.
The same Ventress that went on to help Ahsoka?
Ventress has her own plans. Dooku and Palpatine left her out in the cold, so she did what she did to her own ends, not because it was the right thing to do.
Then why help Ahsoka when she could very easily turn her in for the reward? Wouldn’t that be the evil and self-interested thing to do? Why listen to Ahsoka’s pleas not to kill the Clones? Wouldn’t it be much easier to kill them? Plus, there’s no worrying about the Clones waking back up and trying to find her. She even admitted later that she didn’t turn Ahsoka in because she sympathized with Ahsoka’s situation. That sounds anything but ‘pure evil and self interest’ to me to me.
I haven’t read it; but you should check out Dark Disciple, or a plot summary if you prefer; because I think it’s relevant.
