But if he doesn’t do that, how can he blame himself for what has happened and exile himself? After all, the only failing would be in not seeing the darkness in Kylo to prevent the massacre, and is that really enough? Did he just say ‘well Snoke and Kylo really got me good, time to go die in exile’?
Yeah, it is kind of a Catch-22. But that’s more of a problem with the movie itself, and I’m not sure a fanedit can fix it.
