I think that’s reading a bit too into things though, Raditz. Nowhere in Nev’s draft does it say that Palpatine had a vision which showed him Rey would be the most suitable person in all the galaxy for him to give most of his own power to. Nor should it, because that would be super clunky to implement. At the end of the day, I just don’t buy that a Palpatine barely clinging to life in a clone body is gonna give up most of his OWN power to supercharge some random little girl. I think this would end up being a problem for the majority of audience members. The far more likely thing he’d do is that he resorts to his old way of ordering a Force-empowered baby through the Midichlorian Express. The problem he then has to deal with is that the baby gets airdropped at a random location in the galaxy, so he can’t immediately come and pick her up. Which is another problem with Nev’s idea - he’d know all along where baby Rey was located. He would have come for her far sooner than the age we see her at in TFA’s vision. Probably would have killed her parents right after she was born.
