Wow, this discussion moves fast.

I was chiming in to say that I guess the “Empress Palpatine” line sets up a “I’m just Rey” payoff just fine. But if she’s going to be a Palpatine anyway, I’d still lean toward keeping the original line. I don’t really want to change the title or that aspect of it.

In a Rey Nobody edit, yes, there’s no issue and ‘Skywalker’ works well. I guess for both potential versions I would prefer to keep the original ‘Skywalker’ ending.

The final shot is weird, since she ignored the old lady and we see repurposed footage from the other desert planet earlier. The Falcon taking off would be a cool alternative, in any event.

There’s no good titles to crib… ‘Balance of the Force’ doesn’t quite resonate with the actual movie, and has ‘Force’ again.
‘Heir to the Jedi’ just sounds like ROTJ 2: Electric Boogaloo, and uses ‘Jedi’ a third time. If single word titles were appropriate, ‘Bloodlines’ would be a good choice.
