Geralt often makes reference to a personal code for his profession, built around not killing intelligent creatures for money:
'I kill monsters for money. Beasts which endanger people. Horrors conjured up by spells and sorceries cast by the likes of you. Not people.'

Kylo didn't know who Rey's parents were until Palpatine told him at the beginning The Rise of Skywalker. Before then he was going by what he'd found out from looking in her mind from what she remembers.

It was probably not Piett's fault, and Vader recognized that. Vader had been in personal command of the imperial forces on Bespin, while Piett remained aboard the Executor, out in orbit. There is no reason to think that the order to sabotage the Millennium Falcon had to have been relayed through the admiral; Vader could just have told some of the imperial ...
