Kylo defiantly is different then Anakin. Snoke could be manipulating him, or he's 100% onboard and there's no changing who he is. I mean, there's always reading the book, but they changed things from what I've heard. Does this child even know that his grandfather went back to the light side to protect his family? Did they ever tell him anything? Or did he learn it from a textbook or something, and it was all completely biased and he was like. "This is who I'm taking after."
One thing I noticed when watching the movie was that the spread of information about what happened when the Rebel Alliance won and the Empire lost was that, well, it was like, unless you were there, the details were never really shared to the galaxy at large. It was like, people knew the Empire tanked but then smoothed over that part so a new one could rise from the ashes without that taint of failure.
I realize we are talking about a galaxy, that tends to be rather large. But, hell, we had a main protagonist making a living cannibalizing parts from the Empire’s crashed fleet. They have heard stories, but it is like they never got the real or even full picture.
What fraking happened there? Why didn’t people get on the loud speaker and drop pamphlets or something? Like, jesus christ.
Kylo, obviously, should/would have known what happened. He would have grown up knowing. ….at least you should think so anyway. So much of his actions seem so childish still. It is hard to know what to think. He is still a baby, really. A murderous baby. But a baby.
