Hey ziggy, thanks for taking a look and for your feedback! It’s great to hear!

I think your ideas make a lot of sense, and I can hear the stronger cue of the Palpatine theme from Return of the Jedi as Rey is suspended in mid-air.

I think with this scene, which had some iterations of the eyes, we decided to keep it subtle so as to not distract from the main action. We just wanted to leave hints or breadcrumbs to be found later, saving the larger reveal for the ending scene with Kylo-Ren.

Unfortunately, I’ve become extremely busy lately for various reasons, and I don’t have any immediate plans to dig back into this project. If I do, however, your suggestions are worth considering for sure!
