Interesting point about the narrative of the ST being about the problem of relying on a single bloodline to save everyone. When I watched TFA, I was struck by the very millennial feel of it. The boomers had had their revolutions (ant-war, civil rights, 3rd wave feminism, etc.) but left things unfinished in a way that fucked over the younger generation and now millennials had to fix things. The Alliance had overthrown the Empire, but failed to finish the fight and now the new generation had to fix things. Kylo seemed like a fun parallel for all those MAGA, insels, alt-right guys trying to reclaim what they see as their traditional rights and power and I was initially fascinated by this aspect of his character. Then fandom and TLJ pretty much soured me on him and the ST in general.
