-that kylo was no longer conflicted and he now chose a side, at first when he killed snoke I thought he chose the good side but now he apparently he still is conflicted? I’m confused about that…
Welcome to the shiiiiiiiipppppppppppp, hope you enjoy your stay!
Kylo Ren isn’t going to turn ‘back’ overnight. What happened in TLJ was already a HUGE step – he threw off Snoke, his master and manipulator since BIRTH. That’s enormous. Rey realizes that, but obviously wants him with HER – she’llhelp him. But Kylo is like ‘I ALREADY DID THIS FOR YOU, YOU’RE EVERYTHING TO ME, JUST STAY WITH ME???’
They’re at an impasse because BOTH of them only see one side or the other as being options, not a grey middle ground. They will in ep 9 though, watch.
And I think Rey saw that he would join them – in the middle ground, as Kylo, as someone who is neither light nor dark purely. And they will be by each others’ side (thus fulfilling Kylo’s vision as well).
I think Hux will find out that Kylo is the one who killed Snoke and all HELL will break loose – coup incoming, open rebellion in the ranks, etc. which resistance makes use of.
As for Snoke not realizing – that’s where the beauty comes in. Kylo CHOSE a side, he was no longer conflicted – because he believed his destiny is with REY. He just thought that meant on the side of the FO. So he chose HER, the conflict is gone – that choice is clear. So with that passion he was able to be STRONGER than Snoke expected, strong enough to fool him.
He showed Snoke EXACTLY what he wanted to see – the lightsaber, the intent…but showed him the wrong target (Rey, not Snoke). He manipulated SNOKE, because he felt resolve – for Rey. For his path, their path.
And when he makes his speech to Rey he says that – he wants to forget it all, and just bring order to the galaxy again – with her. And that’s what he’s so certain of. It’s about sides again, but the only way for them to ever realize that shared destiny is when they both realize that BALANCE is the name of the game.
