Literally all of what you said has occurred to me...except for the stuff about Zuko. I'm not familiar with the Last Airbender.

The fact Kylo is established as someone who isn't scarred and damaged like Vader was (and we see him without his helmet at least twice), I've even wondered whether he'll be redeemed fairly early on in the trilogy, and switch allegiance. Maybe too much of a stretch, seeing as we already have Finn doing that.

Not that his face would have to be pretty and unspoilt to become an enduring good character, but it works better thematically. For instance, had the OT been written differently and carried on, I can't imagine Anakin hanging around looking like the spawn of Freddy Krueger.
