The funny thing is, Khev's current gushing ironically comes off as a millennial who's first Star Wars movie experience was Force Awakens.

Those teenagers and 20 something's eat up characters like the Heath Ledger Joker, Loki or Kylo Ren. My little brothers love Kylo Ren because he's "edgy". Emo tumblr high school girls are eating up "the conflicted character" and making whimsical art of their boy Kylo. The Hot Toys thread is the epitome of this mentality. But there we go with the crazy 80s comparisons again too! Riggs lost his wife and baby and had bouts with alcohol. Kylo Ren? He wants to be like his grand daddy that everyone hated to get back at his mom and dad who weren't good parents to him or something. Boo hoo!
I don't think the prequels are great or anywhere near Star Wars and the Empire Strikes Back, but if you're going to see brilliance in a needlessly troubled character like Kylo Ren, then Anakin Skywalker shouldn't be looked down upon as anything less.
