But the distinction I’m so desperately trying to make is that while they’re one in the same, that’s only because of the purpose and intention poured into their very being. Genetically, they would be completely unrelated. It’s all of that malice and cruelty which was influencing the Force to create this life that makes them so similar. In both cases, you could think of Rey’s father and Anakin’s father as the Force itself, but twisted to Palpatine’s desire. This process would then be perfected with Rey, and as a result Palpatine views her as his own daughter. They are all related in terms of their nature/disposition but not genetically (so Reylo is still at thing). It’s hard to convey these complex topics in words, though. I’m starting to see why George would potentially hold off on a reveal like this to make it more clear what exactly is going on microscopically.

One benefit of making this abundantly clear is that we shift away from everyone being related to each other genetically. With default TROS, there’s only two bloodlines - Palpatine and Skywalker. With this new idea, it would be Palpatine, Skywalker, and whatever name Rey’s parents claimed. Of course, Kylo never reveals this to her, which is what leads her to claim Skywalker because she is related to them in spirit.
