I honestly though the themes of the second film would lead to a conclusion where Kylo and Rey realize that there is no point in favoring "light" or "dark" because it leads to an imbalance in the Force that breeds conflict. Rejecting your emotions can make you blind to your feelings and the empathy of others, and allowing your anger and fear to take over robs you of your objectivity.

But yeah that didn't happen. Ironically that would've also had a creative meta-subtext about the contrasting themes of the two films revealing an "enlightened middle."
