yall too busy bickering with eachother to be ready for this conversation but JJ& #39;s ending actually REINFORCES Rian Johnson& #39;s message. Rey being a Palpatine doesn& #39;t conflict with TLJ& #39;s new direction AT ALL.
i understand the disappointment from some who were hoping that she & #39;came from nowhere& #39;, but the message still works. whether she comes from sith blood, jedi blood or ordinary blood, who she is isn& #39;t affected by where she comes from. it& #39;s her actions that define her...
this right here. luke& #39;s words are everything. Leia would& #39;ve trained Rey no matter WHERE she came from. THAT is the point.
those of you who can& #39;t connect with her as much now that you know that she& #39;s a palpatine are making the very mistake you rallied against when you were happy to learn she wasn& #39;t the daughter of a jedi. it still changes NOTHING. if anything it reinforces Rian& #39;s point.
Rey is, and has NEVER been, & #39;no one& #39;. and if that& #39;s what you call her then i think you should re-assess how you see her character arc.

no one comes from nowhere. no one is & #39;no one& #39;.

she is who she is because of her heart. her spirit. that& #39;s why she becomes & #39;Rey Skywalker& #39;.
but, again, as i said, yall aint ready for this conversation so i& #39;ll stop there.

now continue bickering amongst eachother about which "competing vision" you prefer, JJ or Rian. i& #39;ll just shut up and let you continue bickering as i enjoy the vision as a whole.
