Good shout out! I was going to actually comment on your work, bbghost! It definitely gives the scene a different feeling without the voices, doesn’t it? Like Sasquatch said, seeing the ghosts in Ascendant is a really cool payoff that helps imply that their intervention might ensure Palpatine DEFINITELY won’t come back again, but I do think this also fits well with the whole premise of a Rey Nobody edit. Whether Rey sees/heard her new family instead of the Jedi, she hears new Jedi voices that encourage her differently, or maybe she hears nothing, something like that could play really well I think.

I was also going to mention that I think I’ve thought of a way to handle the Force bond duel scene in a way that Rey’s parents aren’t brought up at all. I was stuck for so long because I was attached to keep the pacing as close to the theatrical as possible, but looking back at how Dom did it in his work print, I think you could do the same thing, but replace the one or two lines (and one quick vision) of Rey’s parents with the ominous future Exegol battle.
