I don’t plan to remove the blue smoke from poppasketti in any event, no.
Another thing is that Palpatine wanting Rey dead at the start of TROS is consistent with Snoke/Palpatine sincerely ordering her execution. His change of mind is still baffling in any event.
Pretty sure that months ago somebody outlined Palpatine’s plan but here it goes again.
- Palpatine puts all of his effort into corrupting Ben Solo.
- Palpatine wants Snoke to have Kylo kill Rey because he is planning on essence transferring into Kylo
- He had already put a ton of effort into corrupting Kylo, so yet again he tells him to kill Rey.
- Kylo realigns himself with the light, and Palpatine senses it. His new goal is to corrupt Rey and essence transfer into her.
- She refuses. Then he discovers he can drain their dyad to restore his full strength.
