In this case it does. Rey doesn’t want her immense powers and in TROS appears at odds with his heritage.

He was made by the Force, he’s literally space Jesus. He’s the opposite of nobody.

We’ve seen a hero from nowhere in the PT.

Once again, Anakin isn’t nobody, he’s basically space Jesus.

We’ve seen a hero from Jedi heritage in the OT.

Now we’ve seen a hero from Sith heritage in the ST.

But Luke had Sith lineage too. I thought that was the entire purpose of the famous reveal in ESB. And that’s the main reason why I dislike Rey Palpatine. It feels like a ripoff of the OT, while Rey Nobody actually feels like something original.
