I really enjoyed this!

3 things I would take to the bank and would love to see incorperated into other edits:

. Setting up the Sith eternal at the start and slowly building up to revealing Palpatine’s return midmovie felt like an actual reveal rather than the silly opening revelation we got in the original. For me in has the same impact as the Hal’s switch of the hosnian prime destruction in TFA. I can imagine in a rey palpatine version Kylo revealing Rey’s heritage in the hanger would be a lot more impactfull than in the og, like a one two gut punch reveal, first that Palpatine has retuned and then that Rey is his grand-daughter (set up earlier with the lightning powers and dark visions)

. Kylo Ren’s visit to the falcon and force semi-omniscience are a great addition to his character work and power development.

. Leia actually being involved in force healing Ben and that being the cause of her death makes a lot more sense than in the original.
