Luke and Leia’s ghosts adopting Rey at the end did feel weird

Enh, I didn’t take it as “adoption” (like, parentally) so much as affirmation of her choice to identify with them.

I gotta say, while the sequel trilogy as a whole contains a cruiser-full of problems, and though I purposely read the spoilers before seeing TROS . . . I was surprisingly moved by that ending.

I’m going to retain “Rey Nobody/Skywalker,” but just have the story begin with her already trained or in training.
