I’m thinking about modifying the largest body paragraph for even more congruence with TFA. Honestly, anything that makes this reveal feel like it was planned out from the very beginning is welcome here IMO:

(Rey sees the vision of herself on the Sith throne)

“Luke saw the same fate in me. But you and I don’t want it.”

“Stop talking.”

“Why? I know you better than anyone else.”

(Cutaway to heroes capture)

“The Force showed me glimpses of a girl like you long before we first met. When we fought, in the forest, the darkness inside of you fully awakened. You revealed yourself to the Emperor that day… just as he always intended.”

(Visions of Rey beating Kylo on Starkiller, falling into the dark cave, etc.)

“No!”


This way we can justify Kylo asking his officer “What girl?” because he has a specific girl in his mind that could have stolen the Falcon. Furthermore, his line “The girl I’ve heard so much about” takes on a different meaning. It also makes sense how he later states that the longer Rey is roaming about, the stronger she will become. Even at that moment, he knows that the two of them are somehow related.
