I like the recontextualization of Reys memories as lies she tells herself. This goes very well with TLJ. The one below turned out to be a Rey Noone edit.

“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 have always been. The dark side incarnate…”

“You’re lying.”

“Your parents did not realize what you were…”

“Don’t!”

“If they did, they would have tried to sell you to the Sith…”

“I don’t want this!”

“Do you see the Throne?”

(Maybe insert flashing Throne vision here)

“No!”

“How did you resist this draw for so long?”

(Rey sees the vision of her parents and her abandonment.)
“My Love…be brave.”
“You’ll be safe here…I promise.”
“Come back! Nooo!”

“So these are the lies you told yourself.”

“Stop talking.”

"Made up memories will not protect you forever.”

(Cutaway to heroes capture)

“Your parents did not even remember who they sold you to… So when Palpatines hunters found them, they could not tell them where to find you.”

(Rey sees her parents get killed.)

“So that’s where you are.”

“I know how this story ends…why Palpatine wanted you dead. I’ll come tell you.”

“Why did the Emperor come for me? Why did he want to kill a child? Tell me.”

“Just as my grandfather was born to bring balance, you were born to bring chaos… Another chosen one…”

“This is why he fears you… You are powerful… And we share a bond… Together, we can defeat him. The power of the Skywalkers combined with the power of the dark side…"

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

“I do.”
