I can’t help but read it as Rey accidentally killing her parents, similar to what happens with Chewie. She’s frightened, calls out, “Come back! No!”
I guess Unklar Plutt would have just reacted with, “Holy hell! I’m not keeping you where I live. Good luck bringing me shit in exchange for food.”
Unrelated to these events or Rey’s parents per se (since they have no prior connection), Palpatine senses Rey as a powerful person and wants to either put a proactive end to her or bring her to him. Either way, Ochi is sent to find her but ends up dying from a snake because he’s a dumbass. He doesn’t end up killing anyone or anything, just stopping to take a piss and getting killed.This keeps getting more complicated. Ochi’s ship shouldn’t still exist or look like it does, if Rey destroyed it as her parents tried to leave. If the ship is replaced in TFA’s flashback (and its appearances in TROS), she shouldn’t recognize Ochi’s ship or get a feeling about it.
It was definitely complicated.
But all these issues are addressed in TROS: Resurgence Workprint:
- Ren tells her “you wanted your parents dead.” So she killed them on purpose or in anger. It wasn’t just an accident.
- The ship is a standard model ship like an X-wing. I recolored the parents ship green in Rey’s visions. If someone else vfx’s a new ship, even better. Alternatively the flashback clip from TFA could be used since that ship looks different, but adult Rey is in that shot.
- The parents ship has nothing to do with Ochi’s ship so Rey does not recognize the ship on Pasaana.
The idea here is forgetting the old story and just watching the new one for the first time.
