In the first chapter of the Sequel Trilogy, The Force Awakens, Kylo Ren vows to “finish” what his grandfather Darth Vader “started”. He didn’t specify what exactly that was, but we can guess it had something to do with murdering his master to become the ultimate ruler of the Galaxy. Well, with the death of Supreme Leader Snoke in The Last Jedi, seems like mission accomplished on that front! But on a bigger, thematic scale, what Kylo Ren must actually finish is Anakin Skywalker’s true purpose – to bring balance to the Force. Anakin was the Chosen One, after all, but his fall to the Dark Side upended his trajectory, thanks to the meddling of Emperor Palpatine, AKA Darth Sidious. Vader (presumably) killed Palpatine at the end of Return of the Jedi in order to save his son Luke Skywalker, but now we know that, somehow, Palpatine survived. Yes, the same Palpatine who has been the TRUE villain this whole time! The same Palpatine that corrupted Anakin, who tried to do the same to Luke, and who is now back to sow more havoc. Thus another thing Kylo Ren must finish – destroy Palpatine once and for all.

Another thing Kylo needs to finish is reverse the tragic ending to the love story between Anakin and his wife Padmé Amidala, but we’ll get to that later…
