chiclet-go-boom:

I really, REALLY wanted Kylo to stay on the Dark side of the line and Rey to stay on the Light but both of them to acknowledge the other and USE the different sides of the force in tandem/together to defeat the enemy which I ASSUMED was going to be a frothing fashion maniac named Hux, with a side dish of Palpatine being Kylo’s ultimate manipulator and dealt with accordingly.

ie, a two front war with an external physical threat and an internal supernatural one.

WHAT IS WITH THE PRESENTATION OF ALL SITH AS EVIL AND ALL JEDI AS GOOD? Excuse me, but the Jedi and the Sith were incredibly flawed for acknowledging only one side of the Force. Palpatine is evil, but he doesn’t represent all Sith. The point of the sequel trilogy was to show that Rey and Ben acknowledge both aspects of the Force and are better for it. Balance is the key. It would have been spectacular to see Ben and Rey take down Palpatine by achieving the balance and embracing the grey, but noooo we have to have the Sith vs. Jedi thing and Ben being virtually ignored.
