I noticed in your cutlist you said you’d “try to have Rey say ‘I’m no one, AND I’m all the Jedi.’” If it’s possible, you could be more concise and just have their exchange be
Palpatine: No one can defeat me!
Rey: And I’m no one.Because, much like the “And I Am Iron Man” scene they were obviously trying to imitate here, the line “I’m no one” was actually set up in an earlier movie.
I should probably update my cutlist. Yes, that’s actually how I have it now (couldn’t find a satisfying way of doing it how I originally planned, and this works just as well).
I don’t give a shit if or what it’s imitating either way. What matters is what it’s doing on its own, which I think is justified with this change.
