I’d also like to add that Kylo was pretty much an angsty teen who was proving his loyalty to the gang, and that he’s ‘real bad’, by swiping the Butterfinger from the grocery store. Or, in this case, by murdering his father, with whom he obviously didn’t have a good relationship anyway.Did you just compare a petty crime to patricide? Wow…
I didn’t compare the actions, I compared the characterization of Kylo killing Han to another point of characterization. Kylo wants desperately to be evil (for some reason), so he wants to prove to himself that he can be ‘so bad’, by killing his father. And as I said, I don’t think their relationship stretched that far in the first place (that’s just what I picked up from what we saw/heard in the film).
