Nope. This is still the Rey Palpatine version believe it or not. The problem we’ve encountered is that Palpatine clearly wanted to essence transfer into Kylo because he put so much effort into corrupting him and calls for Rey’s death, and then suddenly at the end of the film it’s revealed that he always wanted her to live. Like, what?
I agree, I felt that was jarring, but like someone said, this could be because Ben has been redeemed. Afterall, you can tell he’s changing his plans when he made Pryde lead the Final Order on Exegol.
Yes, but that would imply it wasn’t always his plan to let her live, which is what him and Finn claim in the movie.
