Kylo and the Millenium Falcon: a thought

So I was watching the classic “blow that piece of junk out of the sky” clip for the millionth time and it’s highly entertaining, a meme, I understand. But it just occurred to me how deep this actually must have cut for him in that moment. Like just imagine little Ben growing up on that ship. Playing, running around, sitting on Chewie’s lap as Han takes him through light speed for the first time. Hearing all the stories of this scrappy, legendary little freighter. And then at this point in TLJ, Kylo is trying so hard to push through, to crush the rebellion and resist the Light. And that ship, his father’s ship, comes in out of nowhere. An incredibly hopeful and sacred symbol of his father’s legacy, a precious memory, turned against him. And he just can’t stand it.

(Now I’m watching it again and I feel like Adam totally understood this. We get only a few real outbursts from Kylo, believe it or not, and this is one of them. It makes so much sense.)
