Yeah, I’d like to see how that looks sometime too.
• Would be nice if Palpatine could say “Luke was saved by his father. (You have no one here) (or something).”
I had almost this exact same idea, but I had trouble finding appropriate dialogue. Another idea I had was that you could reuse the line, “Weak. Like your parents” and have him say, “Weak. Like your Master” or “Weak. Like Skywalker.” Rey wouldn’t say anything. Then, it would cut back to Palpatine as the “sunroof” opens up and reveals the battle. It could draw a parallel between her and Luke, and how Palpatine used their weakness (and strength), their friends, against them in both instances.
I think the line works as is. Her parents were no one who ended up dead. Rey doesn’t have a response and we see the sunroof open and her new family dying at Palpatine’s hands as well. We know Luke succeeded so I don’t think it’d have quite the right impact.
EDIT: Palpatine does say “no one” during the Resistance being destroyed montage. If the dialogue is isolated well enough, you might be able to make “You have no one here.”
Yes I flagged that too. I actually meant to edit that out of my cutlist, that was more a note for myself, haha. Trying to figure out what I can do.
