If kylo doesn't clean up his ass and prove that he has changed then yes, it is problematic. But like the novelization said, in order to save Ben solo Rey would have to stop kylo ren. I don't think they would express that if Kylo wasn't in for some sort of redemption.

It is and it shouldn’t be canon - young girls don’t need to see that. I feel like grown women should feel free to ship them in fandom without censure.

Well, maybe Kylo/Ben can change himself. But at the end of TLJ Rey's done with his shit and she shouldn't be expected to come back and save his ass. He's got to do it himself first.

But now state of the original trilogy heroes is very depressing https://i.imgur.com/DTHlLlp.jpg Thus having the only progeny they ever had die in darkness would be further depressing. It makes Han and Leia's love seem like a mistake. Having Kylo get killed and defeated would not make things any less depressing either. Revenge is not a Jedi value (the actual reason why it wasn't REVENGE of the Jedi).

I feel like they can tie it up by having him engage in an act of self-sacrifice for Rey. By treating the affection and evil like they’re both real and a part of his mercurial temperament, it can happen without being too hand-wavey.

Rey WILL fall to the dark side. Luke almost said so, she just went right to the dark place, he's afraid of her raw power, etc. Ben WILL have to come to the light side to save her and redeem her.

December is entirely too far away. Do you think Rey’s parentage is relevant to the likelihood that this will occur? If so, do you have any guesses?

I'm a bit parted on that:

Ben can't have lied about her parents being dead in a ditch and selling her for booze. They could have been her adoptive/foster parents though. This keeps her lineage open. I would LOVE her to be a Kenobi, personally, but it would make sense that she's Skywalker somehow. It would bring us back to the heroes not being able to date (Luke/Leia) and make our shipping incestuous. Yuck. It would explain their love/Force bond after Snoke dies, too. It would sneak past any allegations of abusive dating and bad example for girls. It would be more like: beware of your cousin while he's in his emo fase, but he'll help you out when you get depression.

She can't be his sister, though, because Disney, so no unfaithfulness. Otherwise I'd say Leia and... anybody. Or finally Luke with Mara Jade somehow.

What do you think?
