He was left somewhat one dimensional but that doesn’t mean he has to stay that way. The sequel trilogy didn’t do a fantastic job fleshing him out. BUT, Disney has done everything they can with him. It makes you connect, understand and identify with him, understanding his actions. You can view this as a positive because it fully flesh’s out Anakin as a character. He was also in the end of Rouge One and is one if not the main character of the Clone Wars. He was in all three of the first two trilogy’s.
The argument works for both Kylo/Ben as a character and for Disney as a company economically and financially. Okay, this might seem like a weird argument to choose but I think it works. :exclamation: Spoilers for episode 9 in the next point :exclamation:
What caused him to want to be like Darth Vader?! Why was he so torn?! It makes you want to learn and know more about him and his motivations! This links directly into my next reason. But why?! It makes makes you want to learn more about him and why his headspace was where it was at. He was in a constant internal battle and his emotions.
Kylo made the conscious decision to wear his helmet because he was having a identity crisis. You have to speculate and dig deeper to learn about him.įor example, Unlike Anakin who had to wear his helmet for medical reasons (life support). But looking at it from a different point of view and perspective helps! It makes him more interesting because you want to learn more about him. At first this might seem like a negative. With Kylo being the son of Han Solo and Leia, of course he is going to be interesting! Even if the filmmakers didn’t do the best job fleshing him out,It doesn’t take away from the fact that there’s a lot to learn about Ben.
