Your grandfather was dead. There was nothing else to discuss on that matter. [ She stares back up at him. Her jaw hurts from gritting her teeth. ] I didn't know the man other than for what he was my entire life growing up, a puppet for the Emperor who terrorized and killed so many people. He was Darth Vader, a Sith Lord. He was no longer Anakin Skywalker.
[ But that was different here. Darth Vader wasn't here, it was Anakin Skywalker. Just a man before becoming a suit of terror. If she'd had the proper chance to know her real father as Anakin, things would've been much different. Not just for herself but for her son. ]
I would've dealt with Luke myself. If my own brother was planning to kill my son, he should have answered to your father and I for it.
[ Kylo and Luke had faced one another already, and Luke had bought them enough time to escape before letting himself become one with the Force, something now Leia is torn on. But— her own brother. And now she'll never know why he'd made the attempt on Ben's life. ]
Whether I had nothing or not, that didn't matter, Kylo. What would have mattered was us knowing and properly holding Luke accountable for his actions.
