@jarbear No you are fine! Honestly I think the bigger picture thoughts have to be worked out to determining which directions are worth going in, you know?

Maybe the personal aspect could be more about who/what Rey is defending rather than attacking. That is why I have suggested in the past that the Force vision moment could be substituted with something that carries more emotional weight, like something that reminds us of what she is fighting for, like her friends and newfound family.

Luke didn’t have any personal connection to Palpatine in ROTJ either, so I think it is fine that Rey has no emotional connection with Palpatine either.
