With the cancellation of the Acolyte, I really don’t see much of a point in entertaining the whole “creating life” backstory overhaul (like Osha and Mae). I don’t believe Lucasfilm will explore that thread (no pun intended) in any meaningful capacity to justify such a recontextualization of the entire saga. I think I’ve made the right decision in recalibrating this project to merely improving Rey’s backstory and Kylo’s arc.

I’ve looked through my rough change list at the top of this page and it’s still mostly accurate. I did have an interesting idea of potentially suggesting that Kylo shuts Palpatine out of his head fully when he destroys “Vader” in their vision-fight. Perhaps in the transition from the vision back to reality there could be Palpatine’s Sith scream as he loses his hold over him, or something like that. And Kylo has his mask reforged with that special glowing red stuff to ward his mind from Palpatine’s further influence.

I’m going to officially start working on this project this month, hopefully. I’m just going to need help with a lot of audio editing, really.
