Yeah, and a related one--- I was talking elseweb with someone about this but I'd love to get your thoughts. Specifically, with the reaction people had to Ben|Kylo in general and specifically with Rey... I'm like, do you think a post-ROTJ redeemed!Anakin would still be chopping off his children's limbs and torturing them/their significant others? Like, the whole point of a redemption arc is behavior change, especially in your personal relationships. I mean, do people think a post-ROTJ Skywalker Family Reunion Dinner at which Anakin was present would end in torture and dismemberment like the one at Bespin did? Because I really don't think that was what we were all supposed to come out of the OT thinking.
