On a personal note (I don’t care about what books/comics/tweets/media posts … the movie(s) important aspects should be clear … especially at the END OF A SAGA) when it comes to this whole silly transfer thing (I won’t go on a rant, even though I am fundamentally against it, like most of this trilogy to be fair) but I kinda don’t see the point of any “motivation” on Rey’s part for the whole … ritual thingy … of needing hate because just look at Rey during that scene. Was she angry? Was she spiteful?

Nah.

She was in a position to do an action to save her friends and the resistance, she had to strike him down … but she clearly didn’t want to do it. Just look at her face during that. She didn’t want to do it at all. She basically had a gun to her head.

SO to me, the whole “need to do it with hate to strike him down” concept is kinda of dumb. Even on screen, it doesn’t matter or really even try to prove that point or reinforce it. Again, look at Rey. Tell me at one point when she was about to/thinking about striking him (prior to knowing Ben was with her before she could change her action) she was hot with rage and couldn’t WAIT to strike him.

Nope.

To me, keep it simple, strike down the emperor and the stuff transfer. How the person … feels about it … doesn’t matter.

For a Rey Nobody edit, for sure, remove anything about her parents would be great and certainly would make things a lot cleaner … but one would have to do something about the ship.
