Here’s what I’m thinking for some of Kylo’s lines:

“You were right. Your parents were nobody. No body/Nobody had a part in your conception.”

Yes, “nobody” and “no body” sound the same when spoken aloud, but maybe that’s the point. It allows the audience to decide which origin for Rey they want to go with. “Nobody” would mean that Palpatine is lying by saying they are rightfully his, as the Force (not a person) alone made them. “No body” would mean that Palpatine used the Force to create her, and no actual body was involved in that process. I think we’re really onto something here by making both of these interpretations valid for people to hold coming out of the movie. This is the kind of actual, thought-provoking process that is the trademark of an actually good film.


“When we first fought, in the forest, you reached out for the darkness inside you. You exposed yourself to Palpatine, and set yourself on the path toward your destiny… just as he’d intended.”
