[It's not as if she likes comparing Ben to Anakin. She doesn't want them to be alike in any way, as many similarities in how unpredictable and angry they could be there are.
But if Ben doesn't want those comparisons, Leia is happy to oblige. Not just because pf this (or because she generally thinks higher of Ben anyway), but also because, to her, any rejection of Anakin from Ben is a step in the right direction.]
It hasn't been something I've been bringing up in casual conversation.
[Mainly because he'd like to forget it. Hux knows, but it's not as if Leia would care about that in particular. Hux would be judging the Jedi even without knowing that piece of information, anyway.
But if Leia wants to spread it around, Kylo's not going to stop her. Let them reap whatever may come from this. (As if he isn't halfway attempting to keep his own relationship from the Enforcers as a whole...)]
[Leia nods, conceding Kylo's point. It's not something she would know how to bring up herself in the first place, really, but at least she knows now that she's not one of one or two people (because there's no way Han would have known and not told her) not aware of this.
...Though she isn't sure being one of a few who is feels any better.]
For the best. I don't know if there's any way to bring it up in conversation with anyone else.
[As nice as it is to judge someone as a family and all—Kylo has no plans to simply let his mother back in the house after forcibly tossing her outside. Despite the temporary distraction, he hasn't forgotten the realization that drove him to start actively pushing her away again.
It's for her own damn sake, but she's too stupid to see it.]

Does anyone else know of this?
