the pull to the light that ben is feeling is anakin, trying to save his grandson from making the same mistakes he once did
tfa spoilers
I’ll grant you Anakin and Spoilertastic Spoiler Boy, but in what universe does Luke fall into the second category and not the first? (Not that I’d thank him for punching me, but then again, I highly doubt I’d thank anyone for punching me. However, he is certainly kind and wise and generally an excellent person.)
People have an incredible capacity to ignore how much character development Luke went through.
Although I don’t imagine we’ll know Luke’s precise motivation for essentially abandoning his family until the next episode arrives, he’s still a long way from ‘space pissbaby’ considering he walked to his death and threw his weapon away and saved his father and destroyed the Empire using nothing but LOVE (!!!!) Luke is frickin’ awesome
Kylo Ren : Show me again the power of the darkness, and I’ll let nothing stand in our way. Show me, grandfather, and I will finish what you started.
Anakin’s force ghost : what the fuuuuck ?? What the hell did I start that you could finish ??? I killed the emperor to save a member of my family and you are doing the exact opposite of that ??? I died to stop the empire and you help them build it up again??? WHY ???

i noticed something. when finn and rey reunite at starkiller base, finn doesn’t instantly go to hug her even though we all know he’s really affectionate and that in actuality it’s rey that initiates the hug, and i realised that this is because finn remembers she doesn’t like the hand-holding. he remembers that it made her uncomfortable and he respected her and knew her well enough to refrain even though this man has literally run back towards his worst fear to save rey. you bet he wants to hug her. you bet he wants to hold her in his arms and make sure that that’s really her and that she’s really okay, but he doesn’t. finn doesn’t because he’s respectful of rey’s wishes and doesn’t want to do anything without her consent.
this man is a true gift.
Kylo Ren’s Scar
The scar Kylo gets from Rey is in the exact spot Han caressed his face as he died.
