In defense of Rey Palpatine in The Rise of Skywalker, and why I do not think it undermines her arc in The Last Jedi.

Rey still has depth as a character. Her having a core belief of self-worthlessness makes her so relatable to those who have that as well, and when she does overcome it as she kills Palpatine it shows that those suffering from this core belief can overcome this as well. It’s inspiring.

I never really said that Disney took away Lucas’ original meaning of the PT & OT, I just said that it unintentionally recontextualized that or added new meaning to that.

Ride of Skywalker did contradict what was happening in Last Jedi

If you’re referring to the general heritage, I described in the defense that just because Rey’s PARENTS were nobody doesn’t mean her other ancestors were.
