Anyone who drinks milk on-screen is always a villain.

Let's see, Milk is a symbol of innocence and purity in movies, and is often used to make the audience feel uncomfortable when a villain or anti-hero drinks it.

This is because milk is typically associated with childhood, which is considered the most innocent and pure time of life.

When a villain drinks milk, it can represent the consumption or destruction of innocence, and can be used to indicate the villain's loss of innocence

I kinda think it's more to create contrast than to signify eating innocence

Counterargument: Luke Skywalker.

At that point isn’t he? He created Kylo and then left everyone else to figure it out.

Not really a hero’s move

True hero's move, really, retire and let others become heroes (half /s)
