Well, it turns out “bloodlines” can be replaced quite easily to make the link to ROTS as clear as possible. I’m also wondering if we should return the dyad to something that they’ve always been? At least in this context, it makes a lot more sense than the original film. They technically could have become one as soon as Rey as born. Perhaps Kylo always had visions of a little girl in the desert, thus him asking his officer in TFA: “What girl?” As for Snoke, all he did was bridge their minds so they could have conversations with each other. Whereas we’ve made it very clear with our new definition of the dyad that it is only concerned with the power shared between them. So, technically, Snoke only made their dyad connection easier to utilize. Yet another instance of the bad guys creating for evil purposes, but used by the Force for good. Here’s the story so far:

“Rey… wherever you are… you are hard to find.”

“You are hard to get rid of.”

“I pushed you in the desert because I needed to see it… I needed you to see it… who you are. I share the darkness that lives in you, Rey…”

“You’re lying.”

“I’d never lie to you… your parents were no one… junk traders expecting a child they were unable to produce before.”

“Don’t!”

“Much like Vader’s mother. An unknown slave with a miraculous conception."

“I don’t want this!”

“Palpatine chose you."

“No!”

“As with Vader, he arranged for the deaths of your family.”

(Rey sees the vision of her parents and her abandonment.)

“My love… be brave.”
“You’ll be safe here… I promise.”
“Come back! Nooo!”

“They paid for your protection… in more than one way.”

“Stop talking.”

“I saw glimpses of you long before we met.”

(Cutaway to heroes capture)

“Your parents sought Luke’s protection, chasing rumors of his allies in the Jakku desert… but Ochi tracked down the ship they stole. They resisted fiercely, only to be forgotten by the sands of time."

(Rey sees her parents get killed. Perhaps a flash of Anakin cradelling Shmi’s body as Vader’s mask falls to the ground?)

“So that’s where you are.”

“You know why the Emperor wanted to capture you. I’ll come tell you.”

“Why did the Emperor come for me?”

“Because clones are flawed hosts. So he influenced the Force to create dark life. My grandfather. Then, perfected with you, Rey. You… are Palpatine’s heir.”

“Created to inherit the throne of the Sith, he sees you as a true Palpatine. But what he doesn’t know is that we are a dyad in the Force, Rey… two, sharing the power linking our bloodlines. We can end him and the Sith, finish my grandfather’s work, together…”

(Removes his helmet)

“You know what you need to do. You know.”

“I do.”
