Did a slight rewrite. I think this is a great idea, but I really think the sense of family/inclusion really ties into Rey’s TROS arc more than the failure/fear aspect of it.

The Leia thing is the hard part because it cannot be recent. It needs to be something older for it to make sense in context.


REY: I keep failing! Everyone will be safer if I’m gone. I’m never leaving this place. I’m doing what you did!
LUKE: I was wrong. Being alone is not the answer. What are you most afraid of?
REY: Myself.
LUKE: Because you’re a Palpatine. Leia knew about your dark visions.
REY: She never told me. She still trained me!
LUKE: Because she saw your spirit. Your heart. Final lesson Rey, some things are stronger than blood. Confronting fear is the destiny of a Jedi. Your destiny. If you don’t face Palpatine, it will mean the end of the Jedi. And the war will be lost…
