Yeah, it’s a conundrum. I agree that just snipping out “Rey —- Rey who?” helps a little.

Having a trio of ghosts with Luke, Leia, and Ben with a cheesey smile that I like might help too.

But I don’t really have any other big ideas. I’m open, of course.

One could remove her saber and imply that the story of all that stuff is done for now, with less of a direct statement that we won’t see what happens next.

Or like I’ve said before, if her lightning is yellowish earlier, this moment is given some meaning, showing her accepting and incorporating it with balance inside herself.

Or when she ignites the saber, we transition into a lengthy mental montage of all the Star Wars toy commercials throughout the ages before snapping back to reality when the old woman arrives.
