[QUOTE="Istbor, post: 7797388, member: 6801670"] Whoa! Who said anything about Han being a deadbeat dad!? As you point out, we don't know anything about how Kylo was raised. We are told Snoke had influence on him, and was sent to Luke's academy to try and end that influence. We don't know whether he was in some sort of broken home, or loving family however. Certainly Han seemed to feel some amount of guilt or as if he had failed as a father. I am not sure how it would affect me if my only son became and evil bastard, and I blame myself or whoever? We don't know. Han and Leia clearly are dealing with this probably complex scenario in their own ways. To me, Han fell back into his old ways because they were familiar, nostalgic. Less likely to remind himself of failing as a father or the loss of his his son. It isn't uncommon for couples who have lost children to separate, simply because it is too painful to have a constant reminder of that pain right there. And why was Kylo unable to force block/deflect/freeze Chewie's fire? I'd say because he just killed his dad. As we learn, it tore him up inside. Heck, he couldn't even kill his mother, and you are thinking he should have been able to kill his dad in front of her? I think you want a villain who is all evil. No chance for redemption. Instead we have one that is decidedly human. Has emotions, has loved ones that they care about. Heck, even Vader didn't kill his own family as cold-blooded as you want Kylo to behave. He paused, he watched as Luke was being fried by force lightning and he decided that he wouldn't be that man. I think Kylo is as compelling of a character as Vader turned out to be. Just different. It would be boring if we just got another star wars villain who is decidedly evil. Through and through. [/QUOTE]
