I guess it depends on how much Rey’s parents are going to factor into the Rey Nobody version. Are they going to be in the edit at all? Will they still be the drunks that they were in TLJ? Will they have been abducted by Ochi still?

If they’re still going to be anonymous (“nobody”) drunks that abandoned Rey on Jakku, and we see that shot again in TROS, I think it would make sense to reuse the footage from TFA.

If Ochi’s ship is now going to be different from the one her parents left on, then it might be nice to recolor the engines to differentiate the two.

If we just want to avoid dwelling on Rey’s parents any more in this film, then I guess it makes the most sense to just cut the shot out of Rey’s vision entirely.

I don’t know if I’m making sense at this point lol. I think I’m overthinking the Ochi Ship thing.

EDIT: I think what would make the most sense theoretically (depending on whether it could be effectively implemented) would be to follow RogueLeader’s outline. Remove any mention of Rey’s parents, change Rey’s vision to be about the future with her friends dying (thereby cutting out the throwback to TFA). Get rid of Rey saying “I’ve seen that ship before,” and then maybe change the Ochi engine color for good measure.
