I haven’t had a chance to watch Spence’s edit properly yet but I did skim through it. The Rey nobody stuff works really well, with two minor exceptions:

-I still don’t think the “you’ll” in “you’ll have his power” sounds quite right. I think this could use a little bit more massaging.

-I don’t think the exchange where Rey tells Finn that she’s going to “find Palpatine and destroy him” works in this version. In the original, she was motivated by the fact that Palpatine killed her parents, as well as her blood connection to him, which she’s unwilling to accept. In this version, she’s basically told by Kylo that it’s her dark destiny to kill Palpatine and take his throne, so if anything I’d think she’d be trying to avoid doing that.

I think the line would make a lot more sense if she said she was going to destroy Kylo Ren. Then she gives into her anger and does almost kill him, which traumatizes her so much that she leaves for Luke’s island.
