Yes. If Kylo would have lied to her, he wouldn’t have said that she already knows it and then be surprised that she didn’t.

I don’t buy that her parents are dead and buried on Jakku. Why did she have this flashback in the middle of her experiecning visions after touching Luke’s saber in TFA? It’s the only thing she recognizes and has nothing (seemingly) to do with Luke.

Honestly, I think it’s just because the trilogy wasn’t planned out. JJ thought that Rey’s parents should be important, Rian felt differently.

I disagree, the trilogy definitely wasn’t planned out but I think all evidence points to JJ having the “nobody” thing in mind.

Since I don’t feel like going over it again, this is my take on the TFA force back (I should repost myself more to save my sanity):

I’m not saying the “force back” as they call it is perfectly done. I think it’s a little messy and lacks a solid flow. But I have no problem with what it represents - the force. The light, and the dark. The ship leaving Jakku is part of the dark side, tapping into Rey’s fears of abandonment and isolation. TLJ makes this connection explicit.
