JJ Abrams Finally Explains What Kylo Ren Was Thinking In That Pivotal Han Solo Scene
from J.J. Abrams' The Force Awakens commentary, the director stated that when the father and son met on that bridge, Kylo was actually being convinced by Han to walk away from the dark side. However, he eventually realized that there was no turning back from the path he had chosen.
In Abrams' words:
People have asked me if I think that Kylo Ren was just playing with him the whole time, if
he meant to kill him from the beginning. And the truth is, I think Kylo Ren, in this moment, is
actually being convinced to walk away from this. Snoke is, as Han says, using him, and I think
that somewhere Ben knows this. But I think that he can't accept it. Deep down, he has gone too far.
J.J. Abrams continued by saying that he received help from Jon Kasdan, son of longtime Star Wars writer Lawrence Kasdan, to make sure there was a lot of "raw emotion and uncertainty" in the scene. The video ends with the director wisely pointing out that any time two Star Wars characters meet on a thin bridge without any safety railings that's "10 miles above the ground," it won't end well.
