I definitely feel like there’re two strong but mutually exclusive approaches here.

What was once the two versions we called the ‘Rey Palpatine’ version and the ‘Rey Nobody’ version, I think are now better described as the ‘Living with TROS as best we can’ version and the ‘Not contradicting TLJ’ version.

Not a criticism of anyone at all - but perhaps it’s best to recognise that what we’re trying to do with this particular onscreen revelation is fix an issue which has MANY competing priorities orbiting it, and that categorising our proposals as ‘TLJ-led’ or ‘TROS-led’ might be a sensible way to manage this burst of effort.

Personally, I massively prefer TLJ as a film, but I don’t think canon will escape the revelations in TROS, so for me I’ll always prefer a TROS-led edit here, i.e., Rey is a Palpatine from a certain point of view (amongst other revelations from that movie). To me, JJB’s recent version feels the closest alignment with that priority.

The idea of Rey being lied to or corrupted by Palpatine, or of revealing The Force and Palpatine as opposite creators of bloodlines, to better preserve the truths as revealed in TLJ, I believe should be recognised as TLJ-led suggestions.

Both valid, of course, but I think it’s worth viewing this way!
