That looks so awful.
Rey: “I am all the Jedi”???!?!? She’s not even a Jedi how can she claim to be them all? And Palpatine claiming to be “all the Siths” literally makes no sense as in the prequels, and indeed the Original Trilogy as well, he literally destroyed all the Siths. He killed them first, then the Jedi. He showed absolutely no allegiance to the Sith order. In my favourite Prequel he sends an ill-prepared apprentice Darth Maul to his death with the false-promise that he is much stronger “they will be no match” he tells him. That’s one of my favourite things about Phantom Menace is how heartless he is towards Maul, he’s really testing him to see if he’s strong enough to serve him - it’s complete self-interest. Just like how he tests Luke in Return of the Jedi (but he isn’t prepared for Luke).
Oh dear this is what Star Wars has become. Bringing back a beloved villain, just to make a complete mockery out of him.
If we take these scenes in isolation - and without context - then we may not have the full understanding of what is occurring (or has already occurred) 😉
Without the full story (or events around this part of the plot / film) we’re just guessing - though you still may be right, of course.
