This is all looking very good from my end, aka an outsiders’ perspective.

Let me just say that these people a very very right:

Rey’s parents really shouldn’t matter. They sold her for drinking-money, and as far as I’m concerned, they can just as well already have died of liver cirrhosis or something. Somewhere, sometime. Doesn’t matter.

The less we hear about Rey parents in Ep9 the better. Best to continue with the TLJ plot line and keep Rey Nobody and deadbeat parents as is. IMO the whole Rey and Palpatine grandkid dynamic just doesn’t work. I understand what they were going for, but the execution of it was a failure.

In regards to the “Rey killed her parents”-twist idea, I am somewhat torn. I agree that it would be a really cool twist and is probably doable with the material, plus inserting a child’s hand, some desert background and some lighting is achievable as well. On the other hand, what exactly does this accomplish despite having a twist?

One thing I would really like to see is somehow, retroactively, giving some more meaning to Rey’s vision in the dark-side cave in Ep8.
