Yeah, I’ve come to agree more strongly, too. If I hadn’t already committed to putting out a Rey Nobody version of Ascendant I would cite those points.
I would much rather they have stuck with Rey Nobody, and they could certainly have written something compelling from that point. But, I don’t think fan editing that point back in results in a better TROS in and of itself. But it’s ambiguous, so I’ll be glad to just swap out scenes and chunks for an alternate version!
