^ Mala, thanks for the reminder about those suggestions. I will continue to keep removed Kylo’s mention that Rey’s parents are dead and buried. It seems like the gist of the ‘revelation’ is that Rey is finally admitting to herself what she already know to be true, in an annoyingly similar way as in Maz’s basement in TFA: her parents abandoned her and are gone for good. It seems not only unnecessary to depict them as dead, but slightly incongruous to the vision in TFA in which they are clearly leaving Jakku after dumping her there. Why would they be buried there? Also, that particular detail is the only thing that Rey would presumably not have already known, and it may be more effective to remain purely in the realm of Rey’s suppressed knowledge. That’s probably how Kylo Ren acquired the information anyway: from their mental battle in TFA.
Here’s a mockup of your ring idea. I’m not sure about it, though. Now, I imagine the question would become either, “How’d that boy get that ring?” or “Is that boy connected to Holdo somehow?” But I would like feedback from others about this one. If these are supposed to be Holdo’s hands, they are dirty and missing at least one ring.

DZ-330, no, I am not planning to remove Rose saving Finn. Other than reinstating Finn’s full attack run, it’ll remain as in V1.
