I mean, yeah. If Palps wants them to come together to him for his plan to work, and Kylo spends the entire film trying to do just that, then he’s kinda getting played. Makes Kylo seem kinda foolish at the very least.
Yes, Kylo is getting played, but that is what you’d expect. That is what Palpatine is known for. He played the Jedi Council and the Senate, too.
