Kylo literally being a wannabe Vader was brilliant and worked very well I think. It was a very good decision to do that rather than attempt to make another Vader. I do like the three leads too, though I think the total lack of planning ruined what could have been far better arcs for the characters over the trilogy.

I don't call some bad things happening to the older characters edgy, but when the best that can be said for them is "there were good times too" many years in the past and all the older heroes' lives are depressing messes before they die, that I call edgy. It's "bold" to treat favorite characters like that, and that's why I call it edgy.

It reminds me of Chrono Cross, with the game doing similarly off screen to four of the heroes of Chrono Trigger. Crono and Marle/Nadia? Dalton messed with the timeline and their southern neighbor got militarized, invaded Guardia, and presumably killed them. Lucca? She adopted a mysterious child and opened an orphanage... before the villain burned it to the ground and killed her. Robo/Prometheus? Deleted on screen. True many of those events may have been affected by the end of the game, but it wasn't well received there either.

It's the trendy thing to do too. Star Trek has done it too lately, with Star Trek Picard killing Icheb in a completely unnecessarily gory scene. Hugh's death was completely pointless too, but at least that wasn't horror movie material.

So yeah that seems to be trendy when making sequels, so I call it edgy. I like all three of the above. Torturing older characters is a trend that is annoying to me though.
