I think something that feels like a contradiction or requires an explanation that is narratively bending over backwards for is her good parents leaving her with a scumbag like Unkar Plutt to “protect her”. It doesn’t really make sense. And trying to explain it feels like a complicated fan theory.

I think if you make Anakin and Rey both Palpatine’s creations, then it sort of makes her and Kylo related in a weird way? So the romance aspect would be a little awkward. I don’t think you would have to explain it. I actually an issue with a lot of these write ups is feels like too much exposition and not enough character stuff, imo.
