Is it just me or are there some definite parallels between The Mando and Kylo Ren?
They’re both very buttoned up and walled off. They both hide behind the artifice they’ve constructed around themselves (perhaps in order to shield themselves against suffering the same trauma afflicted on them in the past)
Yet they both yearn for something more. Something they can’t quite allow themselves to have, but still seek out. Simply, love, companionship. The idea of not being alone, of being a human being, is both incredibly attractive and incredibly scary to them. They are lonely.
They both have an air of knighthood about them. And of a softer side they don’t like to admit even exists.
Can anyone think of any more parallels? I’ll add more if I think of them or they come up.
