I think this is a non issue. It doesn’t change the movie and alot of people wouldn’t give it a second thought
It caught me completely off guard and took me out of it, honestly. To be clear, I think this change is not a bad idea, and I think the soul possession should remain, it’s just that the hangar scene should be modified so that this makes more sense. (If that line is not in the nobody version I don’t care as much tho 😄)
Alright, I may have discovered a line that could replace Kylo’s contradictory line here. Not only is Kylo clearly not interested in becoming a Sith (see TLJ), but he also already knows that killing Palpatine with the dark side is no bueno. So the line “We’ll kill him and take the [Sith] throne” makes absolutely no sense from two different angles.
So here is what I propose: https://youtu.be/rRI1ctiFPh8 (audio WIP)
And here it is in text form: “You don’t need to say anything. You know what you need to do. You know.” offers hand
The only downside of replacing this is that Kylo’s affiliations are kinda left up in the air. At least with the other line it’s made clear he doesn’t give a crap about Palpatine, and just wants the fleet for himself. Ah well, at least it’s still clear that he wants Rey to join him.
