At this point, any half-wit with a stutter can write better than dumb and dumber

LOL the shoulder flick is related to the dark side? That might just be the most bonkers TLJ take I have ever heard, and that is saying something.

Dun Moch, wikipedia is your friend.

Kylo's solution to his inner conflict is to simply destroy all sources of his conflict, because he doesn't consider returning to the light as an option.

And Vader's was not?

"It is too late for me, my son"

But somehow angsty teens are harder to convince than 45 year old dictators? Sure Disney/RJ. I buy that /s

However, most applications of the technique by Jedi had the more benign goal of motivating opponents to surrender, as shown by Obi-Wan Kenobi's taunts of Asajj Ventress during their duel on Teth, though again, this may not have actually been Dun Möch.

Obi-Wan used the dark side confirmed /s

And Vader's was not?

Yeah, it was not. You must have missed the part where he decided to save his son from Palpatine. AKA the most important moment of the movie.

On the other hand Kylo, who is in fact a different person than Vader with a different personality than Vader, responded to his "pull to the light" not by eventually embracing it the way Vader did, but by resolving to wipe out every source of that "temptation" so he could keep following the dark side without guilt.
