.... sorry some future forecasting here.... my guess is kylo is TOTALLY a good guy in episode 8.. but anakin has to has to HAS TO be redeemed.. redeeeeeeeemmeed.. and the darth vader helmet is a symbol.. a SYMBOL i say of anakin's redemption.. NOT of his damnation.....

Quint:  Leia says she felt Vader in him, but was able to control it when he was with her.

Papa Vinyard:  My guess: Solo wasn’t much of a father, and their decision to send him away drives him to loneliness and anger.

Quint:  So it sounds like he’s always been torn between the dark and light side.

Nordling:  Yeah, Papa. Does this all come down to Leia and Han being self-involved, bad parents?

Quint:  The impression I got was it was losing Ben that split up the family.  I think Kylo Ren was troubled just like Anakin was. Pulled in two directions at once from the very beginning.

Papa Vinyard:  Well, being Darth Vader’s biological grandson doesn’t help.  I’m fascinated with the idea that Vader turning good and killing the Emperor hasn’t trashed his legacy of being the most evil and murderous bastard in the galaxy.  Kylo takes nothing from that ultimate conclusion, just the early work.  It’s the father figure thing that Snoke preyed on.

Quint:  I don’t think Kylo knows (about Vader's redemption). And here’s another theory.  I think the pull towards the light that Kylo is feeling is actually coming from the helmet.  The very thing he holds as a totem to the dark is what’s trying to pull him away from it.

Nordling:  That's a great theory. Anakin is redeemed. He's one with the Force. Whatever Kylo is feeling, it's not Anakin.
