Rogueleader, I like the direction of your ideas. e.g., “The Resistance will fail, and Rey joins Palpatine. Maybe they even see Rey will be the one to kill her friends (with Force lightning).” But this seems something that would have to be decided in the production phase. There’s just not any structure or material to make this happen, I think. Also, I do think ihir_hh’s idea of Rey killing her parents is brilliant, that she crashed their ship. It continues and elaborates on the already established themes and leads us to an unexpected worst case scenario: Rey killed her own parents and then blocked it out and waited her whole life for them to return. Tragic and good storytelling.
