I like the idea of Hux delving into the occult, maybe as a way to compete with Kylo, but yeah his lightsaber seppuku is pretty dark. Though honestly it is a cooler death than what he got!
The First Order/Resistance stuff seems really fun and interesting, but this movie seems to ignore any connection Rey and Ben had in TLJ whatsoever. I would’ve preferred more redeemed Ben Solo rather than super evil Kylo Ren.
