No one can ever top that legendary “always” uttered from the mouth of Severus Snape, declaring that his loyalty had always lied with the woman he loved. It was this love that tethered Snape to the side of good and ensured he went on to play some of the most crucial parts towards ensuring Voldemort’s defeat.

Over here in the world of Star Wars, there is somewhat of a similar situation with Kylo Ren. Now granted, he is still well and truly with the dark side and will most likely begin the movie as its major antagonist, until a certain someone makes his return. However, throughout the Force Awakens and Last Jedi, there have been multiple teases of him embracing the true legacy of his family and freeing himself from the grasp of evil.

And what better to give him that final push needed to make the jump, than love? He and Rey have been going back and forth for two movies and Kylo has appeared desperate to recruit her to his cause. He hasn’t been able to corrupt her, but perhaps she can be the one to purify him.
