I discuss the reasons why Kylo Ren will not be redeemed in Star Wars Episode VIII. We know Kylo Ren idolizes Darth Vader and wants to finish what he started. Kylo Ren Killed his father Han Solo in direct sight of Finn, Rey and Chewie and has thus drawn their rage and resentment towards killing a close friend and will make it almost impossible for Kylo Ren to be redeemed by Luke Skywalker or Princess Leia / General Leia. While Anakin Skywalker may have been redeemed he did not of course kill such a beloved star wars character and while Episode 7 closely follows story beats of the Original Trilogy i don't believe episode 8 will follow the same trend.
