I was thinking, I wonder if there’s some way to use Rey’s horrible, drunk parents in TLJ to help lure her to the Dark Side in Rey Nobody. Like, a really obvious character thread for anyone who isn’t Chris Terrio is for Kylo or Palpsters to say “Your parents abandoned you. Doesn’t that fill you with anger and hatred?” Or “You have no family, all alone. Join me.” Or heck even, “Take the Throne, rule over the galaxy, and you can ensure that no one else will ever be forsaken again. Like you were.”
I don’t know if the dialogue exists anywhere (it’s probably easier to just ignore her parents entirely), but it might be interesting to tie it all back together like that. TFA - the trilogy starts with Rey fantasizing about her lineage, TLJ - she realizes that she’ll have to make her own path instead of inheriting one, and TROS - she has to decide which path to walk. Besides, I think “Parents selling child for drinking money -> Child falls to the Dark Side out of resentment” is a much more logical progression than “Parents sacrifice themselves to save child from the Dark Side -> Child falls to the Dark Side…for reasons.” Logical, that is, for anyone who isn’t Chris Terrio.
