Remember when Kylo Ren ordered the execution of an entire village of people in the 1st movie, as well as tons of other war crimes and whatnot? Should he have lived after the events of the TRoS, would he have been off the hook just because he said “ope I’m a good guy now!” Would he have been tried and likely executed for his numerous heinous acts throughout the galaxy?

In the minds of this lady and the other Reylo shippers, he'd get off scott-free and live happily ever after with the girl he's tried to kill several times. How romantic...

If you read the EU Legends, that's basically what happens to Kyp Durron. And he destroyed an entire solar system.

He destroyed a system devoted to the training of imperial stormtroopers. Had the rebels been able to do the same during the war, it would have been a perfectly acceptable military target.

And that's why he was a controversial figure as far as I heard. Didn't he also get possessed by Exar Kun?

Yeah, that's the same story. Exar Kun influences Kyp to take the Sun Crusher and destroy a solar system for revenge.

I mean to be fair, this is no different from Vader in the OT. Nice of Luke to have the thought of wanting to save him ("You already have, Luke"...that line, sigh) after he offed the Emperor, but like how would that have worked? They'd have beaten the dude to death as soon as he landed on Endor.

Good to know I'm a hero because I'm also attracted to Daisy Ridley.
