Ben Solo’s death was not redemptive. What he chose to do with his life was. Imagine how much more good he could have done, had he lived and been happy and fulfilled with his dyadic mate. How much harm he could have prevented, by speaking with youth on the point 1/

of radicalization, either by the Sith who might have still existed or by totalitarian wannabe dictators. How he might have been able to, with Rey’s help, undo the knots in the fabric of the Force that spelled unnecessary pain and suffering for the galaxy. 2/

How he might have honored his family’s sacrifices for him by embodying balance and hope for a better tomorrow. D//LF threw Ben away with both hands, along with the hope and hard work and change me might have embodied, for a bunch of bigots and damaged manbabies. 3/3
