Note: I realized after stripping Ben of his Force power that I really missed a trick. Rey and Kylo are so linked that what happens to one must affect the other. Snoke says in TLJ that Kylo’s rise in power instigated Rey’s awakening in the Force to oppose him. Now it could be debated how accurate this is, but I think it’s undeniable that their link is incredibly important, so I will be revising everything after the Netherworld scene to incorporate Rey being suddenly and entirely bereft of the Force. I think this will give much greater impetus to her journey and desire to recruit Force users, and keep Ben as an antagonistic figure despite and because of this devastating occurrence. It also strikes at the heart of Rey’s insecurities. Having found a family in the Resistance for her obvious significance as a powerful Force user, being reduced to merely another person would really turn the knife that is her feeling of being nobody.
