There’s something really cheeky about putting this in this thread, but I can’t put it into words. I was gonna say that it was super ballsy to call it baffling when, even if you disagree with them, there are pretty reasonable criticisms of Rey Palpatine. But that’s a little subjective, isn’t it?
Maybe it has to do with the quality of the argument in favor. Because you literally say “Sure, Rey has gotten over her parents by the end of TLJ, but she didn’t get over her grandparents” in the thread you linked.
I’m saying she never really focused on or thought of her grandparents at all in the first place. She’s relying on her parents because she believes that the only way she could’ve been abandoned is if she was worthless — after all, parents are supposed to care for you and nurture you, and only truly worthless people deserve to be abandoned.
