Luke will kill them both in IX.
Could be. I gathered that Rey was using subterfuge to get close to Snoke to try to use her power but it doesn't go as planned. I think the joining Kylo, if that even happens in the film, is a ruse that Luke doesn't agree with. [Reply]

Not that it wouldn't be bad ass, because it would, but I don't think they'd dare do it. I've kind of given up on the idea of Luke becoming a Grey Jedi. I think it's possible that Rey does because Luke wants to end the Jedi and Kylo becomes the only one willing to train her to her maximum capability. So in this movie Rey ends up with Kylo and Luke swears to end them both. But I don't think he does it. I think we end up in the next movie with a distorted mirror replay of the Palpatine/Vader/Luke scene from ROTJ and Rey ends up killing Kylo after breaking off a fight with a near dead Luke. [Reply]
