Redemption [2/5]
Darth Vader's redemption was completed through sacrifice. His story had been told, and his final act brought it full circle.
Ben Solo's redemption had only just begun when he sacrificed himself for Rey.
To me, redemption is not the moment someone decides to change. It's what comes after.
Ben Solo recognized his mistakes. He chose the light. He chose compassion over fear and suffering.
But what comes next?
How will he live with that choice?
How will he make amends?
Who will he become?
These are the questions that linger… and why his story feels unfinished.
Redemption isn't just about dying for the right thing. It's about learning to live with that choice and becoming someone new.
Ben Solo never got that chance.
I think this matters not only for his character, but also for the message behind his story. Many people make mistakes. Many people lose their way.
The important part is finding the strength to change and then learning how to live with it.
That's why I believe there's still more of Ben Solo's story left to tell. 🦋
