I’m with Neerb on Rey’s parents. I think cutting away the retcon that they were actually good people gives us a nice compromise between Rey Nobody and the theatrical, and brings things a little more in line with TLJ.

It lets you have your cake and eat it, to some extent: her parents were selfish drunks who sold her for drinking money… and her father just also happened to be the (sTrAnDcAsT cLoNe) son of Palpatine. Maybe that traumatic childhood was what led him to drink in the first place. As a young girl, Rey probably wouldn’t have known about her father’s lineage, so her saying “they were nobody” would be true - from her certain point of view.

Plus, it removes the little niggle in the original movie where Rey seems to worry that her lineage dooms her to being evil, even though her father, a literal clone of Palpatine, was apparently a decent guy who made a noble self-sacrifice. Obviously you can argue that the difference is he wasn’t Force-sensitive, so it’s not a pLoT hOlE or anything, but I think having Rey be the first real hero in her family strengthens her arc of coming from nothing and finding her place a little bit.
