But according to canon, you are born with your propensity for the Force. This is backed up by every canon source: movies, comics, The Clone Wars, Tales of the Jedi with baby Ahsoka. It’s unavoidable. Rey even says this in TLJ concerning herself: “Something inside me has always been there. And now it’s awake.”

I’m sorry, but this approach just isn’t canon friendly and it doesn’t line up with several other things established in the sequels as good as the other idea. Whether you like it or not, the Skywalker saga IS about bloodlines. TLJ merely set up another powerful bloodline in Rey. At least with this other idea Rey is genetically unrelated to Palpatine, as are the Skywalkers. Giving us 3 different powerful bloodlines (Rey’s, Skywalker, and Palpatine). They just are creations of his he seeks to adopt/possess.

I can already hear EddieDean saying that you guys are overcomplicating things again lmao. We seriously need to stop focusing on her parents, too.
