It's okay, though. Rey will fight for him first. But her turning point will be like Luke's when she realizes she won't be able to get Kylo back. Not ever.
This makes decent storytelling sense. I can only say I personally hope they don't go there because it would be so depressing. To really lose someone you care about that way--i.e. you'll never get them back; you'll be on inimical terms for the rest of your lives--is one of the hardest things ever. In mundane real life, I've been dealing with this for three years and will likely be dealing for the rest of my life, and even minus "evil" and the Dark Side, it's so incredibly hard. And I think to do it justice in a narrative requires a lot of time to unpack the grieving process, which is not going to be available in, say, the second half of one action movie, which makes me hope they don't try to go there. They could talk the talk, but I don't think they have a medium that can walk the walk, and it would come out feeling jarring and depressing--or else trivialized. But obviously, I have my own biases like all fans/human beings. :)
