Yet another parallel to the OT that just seems lazy to me. In order to continue on his path to the Dark Side, Ren had to confront his father, and instead of saving him, kill him.
Ugh.
Yeah, I do see your point (even though i don’t mind it myself).
How about if there was an in-story explanation that stopped it being a parallel for the sake of it and made it into a plot point? For example, what if Ren himself believed that this was something he had to do, specifically because it was something that had gone before (presumably he’s aware that Luke is Vader’s son). Would the characters in the movie acknowledging the mirrors of history make you ok with it? (just asking - personally I would like to see the characters acknowledge the similarities).
