Here’s a random idea from me, it might be a bit radical for some: Having looked at Palpatines death I don’t think it would be too hard using lightning VFX and Photoshop cloning of the saber on each frame, to have Rey actually kill Palpatine with her OWN force lightning (instead of using the second saber to effectively block and push Palpy’s own attack back onto himself).

I would be very interested to hear people’s general opinions on this because I thought the death of the Emperor was an unsatisfying end and it was thematically too safe. Obviously I understand why they didn’t show Rey using anger/hatred but having seen Rey losing control and using force lightning on the transport earlier in the film, how would people feel to see a Jedi using lightning but in a more controlled manner and for the greater good? Yes it pushes her closer to the darkside but is it a step too far?
