Like a lot of people, I was disappointed by the ending of The Rise of Skywalker. I was a fan of where Rian Johnson seemed to be going with Rey’s character in TLJ and wanted to revise the ending of TROS to reflect where I thought he was heading. In this version, Rey sees the ghosts of Luke and Leia on Tatooine, but instead of taking their name, declares “I’m Rey.” I added more of a somber score based on Rey’s theme to end the trilogy on a more reflective tone than the usual fanfare.
