What if “Darkness rises and Light to meet it” meant something else ?
Okay so hear me out. Looking back at TFA and putting pieces of this wreck of a trilogy together, there is a theory that I like exploring.
It’s pretty clear that Rey is the cause of an awakening in the force and that everybody (including directors let’s be real) assume that she is the light awakening to meet Kylo’s darkness. Simply because she came second so in the sentence Snoke pronounces it makes sense that she is the light awakening in answer to the darkness.
BUT, looking back, what do we see (facts) :
In TFA, she is getting stronger and stronger with the force and in TLJ she doesn’t hesitate to go to the dark in search for answers and power
she is angry/ very aggressive all the time while fighting against Kylo in TFA, against the guards in TLJ, and against Kylo again in TROS, which is not at all a Jedi way to fight (come on face it, don’t get me wrong, Kylo is angry okay, but she is FERAL, I mean she looks like she is going to jump at people’s throat with her BARE hands and teeth alright)
Kylo each time he fights her looks like he is AMAZED by her, fascinated by her power and anger. He could have wanted to teach her in TFA because he could have sensed that she is already using the dark side and he knows she doesn’t comprehend what she is doing. “Untrained but stronger than she knows”. PLUS, it makes sense that she was using the dark side considering becoming a Jedi is not natural, meaning Force users need to train to not tap in their emotions (use the dark side) to control their ability and not become a ticking bomb basically.
AND AS she looks like she is getting stronger/using the dark side of the Force, Kylo Ren, a dark force user manipulated all his life and never completely submitted to it, feels “THE PULL TO THE LIGHT” after the awakening in the Force.
Let me get this straight and repeat for you.
After/While Rey was getting stronger in the dark side of the Force (“the awakening”), Kylo feels the “pull to the light”.
“Darkness rises (=the awakening of Rey’s abilities) and Light to meet it (=Kylo’s internal pull towards the light)”
I am shocked you guys. I cannot get it out of my head. It makes so much sense. I love this theory.
