I figured it would be the same as the film; Palpatine had Ochi try to find little baby Rey (because Palpatine’s spirit sensed how strong she was in the force; new Chosen One.) And Ochi still killed her parents in the process of trying to track her down. So Rey is still vengeful against Palpatine at the end and edging towards the dark side. The only difference is that she’s not blood related to Palpy. Everything could happen the same without her being related to him, maybe. I was okay with Kylo telling her that “they were filthy junk traders” wasn’t the full truth. And maybe her finding out that her parents were good, and sensing Ben there, is her rejection from the dark?

But I guess this is just even weaker than Rey Palpatine and way too convenient for the story, lol. I’d prefer it if her parents were just scum and that’s it. But her parents being noble isn’t the worst thing ever after TLJ.
