I think you saw a different film to me.

I mean, as it stands, Rey thought she could turn Kylo through the Power of Love, and had to learn it wasn't as easy as all that, because Kylo remains a power-hungry dick. And she had the strength/ sense to say no and walk away when she realised she'd got him wrong. That's not the usual story and it's arguably an important one to tell.

[(Anonymous)]

As it stands, there is no mention of "love" where it comes to the Rey and Kylo relationship.

[(Anonymous)]

Platonic love/the love of friendship is a thing... As a non-shipper I thought it was pretty clear that for awhile Rey had convinced herself that if she showed him enough compassion and support he'd change his mind and support her cause instead.

[(Anonymous)]

Of course that's a thing, its just never what people mean in these cases.

[(Anonymous)]

How do you know?

[(Anonymous)]

Because if people talk about platonic love or friendship, they wouldn't just say "love" without any other comment, especially not when it's in context for a known/infamous ship.

[(Anonymous)]

That's making an assumption.

This.

Funny, I find myself interpreting Relo retroactively in light of A Wrinkle in Time, which is all about (both book and movie) the healing and redemptive power of unconditional divine love. And TLJ IMNSHO says, "Nope, the duchebag actually has to want to change for that to work." Kylo's tragedy isn't that he's lacking opportunities for reconciliation, it's that he rejects all of them in favor of his power fantasy of reshaping the universe so that he's never hurt again. It wouldn't surprise me if the question of how to "redeem" someone who doesn't want is raised explicitly in the next movie.

(My bet for the grand finish, Kylo does turn to the light side and is stabbed in the back by Hux, who's the zealot of the story. But that's not going to be a Beauty and the Beast romantic moment.)

Your scenario strongly reminds me of Gaston stabbing the Beast on the castle's roof.
