My issues with Ben Solo/Kylo Ren dying in TROS:
* it pretty much ended the Skywalker line, while Palpatine’s line lived on. Sure, Rey decided to reject her lineage but in many of the audience’s eyes she’s still a Palpatine. 
* Han died trying to get Ben/Kylo to come home to Leia. It feels like such a waste and tragedy that Ben/Kylo died anyway. 
* Leia stopped her Jedi training after she had a vision that Ben would die if she finished it. Ben dying anyway made that feel like a huge waste. 
* What did Ben’s death do to help redeem him? Nothing. Yes, he resurrected Rey, which could be considered a selfless act, but he wasn’t instrumental in taking down the evil. Vader’s redemption-death was good partly because he killed Palpatine to save his son. He single-handedly got rid of the source of all the horror and darkness and destroyed the Sith. Ben/Kylo did not do anything like that--he just resurrected Rey, after she’d taken down Palpatine. What was the point in Kylo/Ben dying then?    
If he’d survived, his redemption arc, which was truly botched in the movie, could’ve been expanded upon. We could’ve seen him actually face the pain he’d caused, we could’ve seen how people felt about him, we could’ve seen him at least try to atone for his crimes, even if he could never fully atone.     
* Also... his death was pretty much like how Vader died. Why did we have to see that trope again? 
* “But only death can absolve him of his crimes!!” That might be true... but what about Revan, who also committed atrocities and managed to redeem himself? What about Atton Rand, who was a Sith Assassin who tortured and murdered countless Jedi? What about the Exile and Bao-Durr, who were responsible for the brutal deaths of thousands of people and the destruction of a planet? Yes, it’s true that Revan, Atton, Bao-Durr and the Exile are way more sympathetic than Kylo Ren, but they all still had blood on their hands.

Reminder that Galadriel, the elf whose coming to the island of Númenor apparently heralds its downfall, was accompanied by a slightly overlooked “low man” ... who will one day indeed contribute to its demise.

I fell down a random YouTube rabbit hole and was vividly reminded of how much I love this damn ship and these two wonderful, star-crossed dumbasses.
I only saw TRoS once, in the theater on opening day, and I've never wanted to revisit it. Seeing clips from it on YT reminded me that there were some awesome Reylo moments, and if they had both just stayed alive and had their hard-earned happily ever after, I would have been able to forgive everything else about TRoS that sucked.
Instead I'm still gutted at what a crushing disappointment it was, and what a colossal waste of a fantastic character, an epic ship, and a beautiful bookend to the series.

To be honest, this latest episode of The Mandalorian kind of worried me about the direction the show might take...
That VERY long segment on Coruscant bothered me for two reasons:
1) this is The Mandalorian, I wanna see the mandalorian and follow closely his adventures, I don't wanna NOT see him for 3/4 of the episode (and, yes, that applies for what happened on tbobf too: while I was happy to see Din, Grogu etc, that was Boba's show, it didn't felt right)
2) I have the nasty feeling that, sooner or later, they're gonna start and show connections, through the shows, to the last sequels trilogy. And this episode might have started that. And here I have a HUGE problem: personally, for my healthy state of mind, I don't consider the sequels trilogy canon. I just can't. It was an insult to everything that I love about star wars. Hell, to everything that I love about storytelling. I tried, but I couldn't.
So, I'd REALLY hate it if they'd start to use The Mandalorian as a tool of connection to those "movies". Just make a separate series, and don't use The Mandalorian.
And, yes, I know I maybe wrong seeing how the story on Coruscant ended, but this episode kind of put me on guard.
I wanna follow Din Djarin and Grogu. I want THEIR stories. Please, do not ruin this too.

"If you dream like that, you're going to leave dream journals." - Zerxus Ilerez, right after having one horrible nightmare again.
Meanwhile, a couple hundred years later, one purple haired sorceress with violent red dreams on the regular for a decade now, suddenly feels very called out.

lol @ lucasfilm thinking star wars fans trust them with the sKyWaLKeR sAGa after the hot mess that was TROS. I have more interest in the Jon Snow sequel. i.e. none
