Another option - keep the Dyad in V2, but prune it from Rey Nobody. People who have an issue with Rey Palpatine don’t like it because it strips Rey of her strength of character, only making her special by birth. If she’s also born as a Magical Dyad Entity, doesn’t that serve to achieve the same thing?
God damn, J.J. You were so determined to make sure Rey was special because of her blood, that you gave her a double birthright claim to power. Ffs
That is exactly what I’m thinking. I’m not Hal, but I think a Rey Nobody version of this edit should have all the things removed that we are currently disputing. I mean, you’re not going to be left with much of a film. Like I said, I would expect it to be about an hour to an hour and a half. But I feel that v2 should still be focused on improving TROS without removing any of its fundamentals.
