[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Rey and Luke discuss how Luke has distanced himself/cut himself off from the force, which is probably why he didn't project himself to save Han or interfere earlier. He is on the island and has distanced himself from the force, the Jedi, and anything to do with that world. How did you honestly miss this?

Also, Kylo and Rey are both powerful figures at opposite sides so why wouldn't they want to turn the other? Bonus points if you get the ENORMOUS symbolism of them vying for Anakin's lightsaber and it breaking.

Rey wants redemption for Kylo and thinks there is a part of him that could return to the light. She is right. He hesitates to kill his mother and obviously is protective of Rey outside of just wanting her power. Kylo wants someone powerful to reign with within the dark side of force and thinks there is a part of her that could turn to the dark. He is right. She sees a dark vision (the dark abyss on the island) and does not hesitate or combat going there. There is a part of her that could succumb to that. Rey obviously still has huge resentment for Kylo for what he did to Han and herself in TFA, as she showcased/said in TLJ but cannot deny her connection to Kylo and the fact that Rey thinks she can bring Kylo back from the dark side.
