I really like that, although I think it would really fit in a 3 in 1 edit with Palps as the main baddy.

I don’t think that’s what Hal was saying. It’s a given that “Just Rey” only works if she’s Palpatine’s progeny. What Hal’s saying is he thinks “Just Rey” needs to be specifically set up by the explicit use of the name “Rey Palpatine” at some point during the movie, which I don’t think is necessary.

But yes, the “Just Rey” ending only works if she’s a Palpatine, because it’s her specifically choosing to forge her own path and not aligning herself with her actual family name (Palpatine) or her “adopted family” name (Skywalker).

In a Rey Nobody edit, you’d have to do something else with that scene, I think. If you even use it.

Rey Skywalker = Rey no-one edit
Just Rey = Rey Palpatine edit.

Idir, that video you shared regarding the score made me want to play around with some rescoring.

I wanted to play around with adding Chewie’s Theme from Solo to when Rey realizes he’s still alive. I also feel like this restore add a sense of relief for Rey, relief that she didn’t kill him.

I did three versions, back to back, and I didn’t remove the original score so you might still hear bits of it. Just a rough idea. Let me know if you guys like any or prefer a certain version.

Rescoring opens up so many opportunities, I’m digging the 2nd and 3rd version.

You know what. This abomination really put TLJ into perspective for me. I finally appreciate the story decisions Rian made in relation to Rey, Luke and Snoke. Rian opened JJ’s mystery box, discovered that it’s really just an empty shell, and made his own story. JJ went back to the old discarded box, and…the rest is history.

Some say that if JJ had helmed all 3 films the trilogy would have turned out better. In truth, we probably would have had to suffer through 2 rise of skywalkers instead of 1.

Ren is under the impression that Palpatine always wanted her dead. He can only say what he knows/believes. It may in fact be the case Palpatine has alternate plans or lies about his intentions.

EDIT: It’s not revealed to anyone that Palpatine wanted her alive until cone-face spills the beans.

That might be so, but for the audience it’s so convoluted that its better to keep it simple.

It would have been cool to have Rey with the yellow saber from the get go, would it be possible replace Anakin’s saber with Rey’s? Something like the TLJ edits that replaced Anakin’s saber with Luke’s on Crait.

You could always just make the saber color yellow throughout, like it’s built from the same hilt but she’s using a new crystal and made it her own.

Rey’s moment with the saber on Tattoine would then be about her changing the hilt while keeping the same crystal.
I like that.

a quick test, the first shot is from the battlefront, the other 2 still images, but as a concept of the idea …
I don’t know how it can be on video. I will have to do the test hahaha

Pretty cool! I question the use of the crowds though, I think a moment like this would be more suitable with just the main characters, maybe in a more secluded place on Naboo, like the funeral pyre from TPM.
