But like I said, I think it could work both ways, but it might work better if that vision’s connection to Kylo isn’t revealed until later. When she shares what she saw with Finn, she is still is trying to figure out what it means. She doesn’t understand the context. So, when Kylo later provides that context (in this case, that they will kill Palpatine and take the throne from him), Rey’s shocked reaction feels warranted. She putting the pieces together, and the fact Kylo saw it too makes it feel scary and inevitable.
Honestly, just got chills from reading this. I love this line of thinking in regards to that scene.
I appreciate your enthusiasm, Sasquatch! Hopefully it will work.
Also, not to derail the conversation, but has anyone tried/considered having Hux being demoted to “Captain Hux” in TROS? Basically, Kylo demoted him for his past failures, and because he doesn’t trust him. Kylo says “Captain” constantly throughout the Lego TFA dialogue, so it would probably be easy to implement.
In Hux’s first scene, Kylo could say, “I sense unease about my appearance, Captain Hux.” The audience would realize Hux has been demoted, and it would explain why he just follows General Pryde around the entire movie, just like how Captain Peavey followed General Hux around in TLJ. Also, this humiliation would provide Hux more motivation to want to get back at Kylo. Kylo humiliated him, and he just wants to humiliate him back.
