Yes, and that is still the concept of this edit if you want to see it that way. Palpatine is manipulating Kylo and Rey to believe that they belong to him. Ultimately, it’s my intention that Anakin and Rey were simply made by the Force to bring balance, which justifies Rey exponentially in taking the Skywalker name. That’s why this is called the “Chosen One” edit and not the “All Skywalkers are Palpatine’s” edit. Now, if some people still want to argue that Palpatine may have had a hand in both, that’s completely fine. But that’s not the conclusion Rey comes to in the end of the movie. In fact, Palpatine admits she’s “nothing” and “a scavenger girl” once she turns on him.

Ultimately, what will make or break this edit is my dialogue for Luke. It needs to effectively convey that being afraid that they all belong to Palpatine is a fruitless endeavor. It’s like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg? In this case, the answer to that question doesn’t matter, because the Force still made their bloodlines, and they belong to the Force. It doesn’t matter even if Palpatine jumpstarted them. They are people with their own free will. They just have to choose to uphold the prophecy that was made so long ago about them.

I think movies that have such grey territory like this are the best ones. It’s not interesting anymore for a plot twist / revelation to simply be that you are the descendant of somebody. We need to start asking more philosophical questions, like whether the actions and claims of others define us or if we make that decision ourselves.
