Even if we decided to remove her parents being good, we’d need some visuals for Rey to be seeing in place of her previous visions. She clearly is making a face like she is seeing something throughout. Without access to our own film studio, this will likely have to be footage from elsewhere in the Skywalker saga. Which is why it was convenient to have both Rey’s origin and the Skywalker’s be the same - created by Palpatine.

We could repurpose footage of Anakin holding Shmi’s dead body, Anakin as a child slave, Luke attacking Ben, and other dark moments of the Skywalkers. And this is what would be used to represent what Rey’s lot in life is with her nature and Palpatine manipulating everything from behind the scenes. It’s an idea I have but in practice it might not be good enough.
