After the first viewing, my husband told me that Kylo Ren was irredeemable.  He was now the big bad, went on a new level of crazy and turned off Rey.

The second time, we watched it, we both knew where to focus our attentions so we were more discerning of what we were seeing and listening to.

He now believes Ben Solo is coming back.

My husband’s reasons were simple:  Han’s influence on Ben is very strong.  Ben is still torn apart.  Despite Rey’s rejection, epic meltdown and having been shamed at not seeing past Luke’s trickery – the one thing that brought back Ben’s sanity was Han.

…

Luke picked up the dice when he entered the Millenium Falcon and he projected that same dice later on.  

The dice served to be a reminder to Leia and Ben.

For Leia, not to lose hope that Han didn’t lose hope even in his final moments.

But Luke admitted that he couldn’t bring back Ben.   

When Kylo Ren, sees the dice – he is once again reminded of his father.  And he is still torn apart despite.

It’s ironic, Luke the last of Jedi, caused Ben’s fall into the dark by attempting to kill him before he made a choice to turn dark.

But it was Snoak, the last of the Sith (?) and his order to kill Han Solo, that opened the path to Ben’s return to the light.

…

Han continues to play a very big role in Ben’s redemption.  His father allowed himself to be killed and even in his final moments chose to convey how much he still loved his son.

Ben knows this with certainty. 

If we are to believe the death of Snoak closed the bond between Rey and Ben – the moment Ben touches the dice, the bond is reignited once more.   Perhaps Han and Luke trying to lead Ben to his salvation.

Snoke also mentioned that there’s too much of Han’s heart in Ben. It’s no coincidence. 

Han’s sacrifice was not in vain.
