I quite enjoyed Dom Cobb’s (I think) test with “I’m no one” as she catches the saber. Since the entire OT and ST are about underdog nobody Rebellions/Resistances rising up against the Empire/First Order (yeah alright I guess Luke was retconned to be the son of the literal Chosen One but he still comes across as a random moisture farmer), I feel it works better with that theme. It shows that Rey has accepted she’s Rey Nobody, and that that’s a good thing: she doesn’t have to be someone special to beat Palpatine. I think that’s a more powerful message for the movie to have. It actually builds on TFA and TLJ, instead of ignoring them. Of course it only really makes sense in a Rey Nobody edit, and you’d have to cut Rey Skywalker as well, probably.
