The reason I was testing these things is to make sure they are doable in the first place. I never had many doubts, but it’s good to make sure. I think I’ll go with: “No, we were made to end him, Rey.”

Then of course Palpatine will later claim that this is exactly what he wanted the Skywalkers and her to do for him, leaving the possibility that he still designed them. People are free to take him at his word for this, but I think Rey should deny it so the conclusion of the movie makes sense.
