But we aren’t necessarily talking about Rey’s blood specifically, is the thing. I’m shifting the meaning of the lesson to be that, for all the power in the Skywalker bloodline and Rey’s, it was all for naught because their spirits weren’t strong enough to overcome the dark inclinations of the Force. Leia saw somebody who would have the spirit to do such a thing.
I’m comfortable with that, I guess I’m just cautious about having Luke explicitly claim ‘The Force made us, to destory him’ because it’s explicit about the Force being behind them, and explicit about its will. I don’t think we should say onscreen ‘The Force wants Palpatine dead’.
It’s also cool if what Luke tells Rey to do is what she tells Palpatine (“I’ve come to end you”). Then Palpatine nonchalantly is like - “Yeah, that’s what I always wanted.” It immediately dispels the pep talk that he gave her, and returns the stakes to the scene.
That’s also a good call. It kind of ends up that everyone’s a little wrong and a little right - Kylo, Rey, and Luke, and the solution comes from them all.
