This is just my opinion on Kylo Ren and Reylo so if you don't like this ship or the character then don't read this but if you would like

to read my theory on the matter you are welcomed to read on!

I have been thinking about Kylo Ren and what his character really is for a long time so I watched the movie again to see if I was right
and here's what I came up with: Ren is conflicted between the light and dark side but not in a Darth Vader kind of way. To start of with.

Abandonment

When he was younger, Han and Leia were never around so he never felt the love he was supposed to, that's sorta how it started then Leia made it worse
by sending him to Luke for training. She met well but Ben couldn't see that, all he saw was his mother dumping him on his uncle.
Also at this time Ben was also mad at Han for leaving.

Finding out about Vader

After sending Ben to Luke, Leia had to tell the galaxy about Vader's true Identity, I don't think she told Ben about Anakin in the first place because she was
afraid of what would happen if Ben didn't take it well. But this way didn't help ether, not telling Ben about Vader in person added salt to the wound.

Snoke

I like to think Snoke has been around Ben his whole life and "Counseling" him on different matters, soon Ben would trust Snoke more then his own family.
And constantly seek guidance from him. He felt that Snoke truly cared about him. But little does Ben know that Snoke is pulling him towards the Dark side.

Betrayal

Then we get to the part where Rey might come in, I think that Rey might had been training at the same Temple Ben was training at, only she's still a child
at this point so I don't think they interacted much. So when Ben Betrayed Luke and the Jedi It would be a cool scene if he was about to kill Rey but couldn't
bring himself to do it. Because he felt something with her. but more on that later.

First order commander

With the Jedi wiped out and the First order in charge Ben Solo finally becomes the cold, ruthless, and conflicted leader of the First Order, Kylo Ren.
He finds Vader's helmet and try's to talk to his grandfather Darth Vader, There was a voice but I don't think it was Anakin's I think it was Snoke faking
Kylo into thinking it was Vader. Why you may ask? Well if Anakin were to really talk to Kylo he would tell him he was making a mistake, so Snoke is tricking
Kylo into doing what he wants.

And Finally Reylo

Now let's cover to most interesting part of the whole theory, Reylo. A lot of people who support Reylo say that Rey will redeem Kylo and bring him back,
I don't think so, I think Kylo will betray the First Order but will not help the Rebels in there fight with Snoke I think he will go on his own path and still be a
villain, but a neutral one, I also feel that Kylo by the end of the movie is falling apart and He needs Rey as a stabilizer from him finally snapping.
He wants her and will do anything to find her at this point, which comes my next theory Rey and Kylo have a force bond. And this sets a fear in him too.
And when he does find her Rey will find this out. And when she does she might have a calling to him too.

Well that's my own theory on the matter tell me what you think about this ship in the comment section below.

End of line.
