and never played Halo before. I actually had to Wiki Sangheilis and I might need to do more as well.

I only played the first two Halo games, Halo 3 I think I played in multiplayer for an hour or two with a few of my brother's friends, years ago.
If either of you want to get caught up on the series, I would recommend checking out The Master Chief Collection. The first four Halo games for $40, including the remastered versions of 1 and 2. The install size is a nightmare, and the multiplayer is downright broken, but the campaigns are functioning perfectly and it's nice to have them all in one place.

It seems nobody is fond of angsty teen architypes; if you're not a cold sociopath, you're appariantly just not cut out to be a villain.
I think the problem is that Kylo is a cold sociopath AND an angsty teen. He carelessly orders the death of that one village, and watches Starkiller base destroy all those planets. The only thing he actually seems to regret is killing his father.
I mean, he's not a bad villain, but he isn't a good one either. He wants to be good, he didn't want to kill his father, so why did he go and do that? Why does he want to be evil? You want to rebel against your father? Fine. Do so in a way that doesn't destroy planets.

Are the rest of the Sith like that? I only hope the original movies actually live up to the classic template.
In the prequels, Anakin was all angsty over his wife and future-children. And the Star Wars universe is full of stories of people turning Sith either out of a drive for vengeance or a desperation to save the people close to them. The Dark Side is literally fueled by emotion, so it's only natural that most of the Sith are going to have a great deal of angst, sadism, or repressed rage. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.
