Kylo: “And did Master Skywalker tell you the whole story? How he tried to murder me in my sleep? It was self-defense!”
Rey, a fleshed-out character who isn’t Super-Emotional Because She’s a Woman: “And then you blew up the temple? Killed the other students? Were they your friends? Did they have families? Was killing Han Solo self-defense?”
RIGHT? Like even if Luke did that, which OOC but okay, how does that remotely absolve what Kylo did in retaliation? In fact, the only thing it does it make me think, “Fuck, Luke was right. He should have killed you back then.”
#especially since luke says he looked into ben’s head and saw he was already working with snoke and planning to betray everyone#he was already an evil fuck#if he wasnt his first reaction after burying luke under a house would have been to call his parents#be like ‘mom and dad uncle luke went nuts and tried to kill me please help’#instead he decided his next and best course of action would be to mass murder all his fellow students and fight for space nazi’s
“One guy thought about trying to kill me once and so I let some zombie motherfucker talk me into blowing up planets, murdering children and killing my own father who had absolutely nothing to do with the other guy considering killing me”
