And the fourth advanced option, Palpatine-less.
Love all these ideas coming together. My one issue, Nev, is that I do think there needs to be one more hit to the idea that Ray Palpatine might be a lie (good old rule of threes. First the initial reveal, then the moment of doubt, then deconfirming the reveal). I still think the best place to put this would be on Ach-To, go with the idea I had of changing Luke’s “because you’re a Palpatine” to “Because of Palpatine?” and covering it by only showing the beginning clip of Luke speaking. Luke knows the Emperor lies, he shouldn’t believe a word he says.
With that I think it’s pretty solid. One other thing I’d like to change would be switching Rey saying “Be with me/And I am all the Jedi” to “I am one with the Force & the Force is with me.” It’s a subtle callback to Rogue One, it’s a Disney SW callback so it feels relatively fresh, and it fits the situation of this movie’s climax. Like in Rogue One, Rey is saying a chant to give her strength in the face of certain death.
