So in this hypothetical version, Palpatine is dying, all this time he has been grooming Kylo and Rey, a prophesiced Dyad, to inherit the throne after his death. Palps gives the rundown to Kylo but he knows that there has to be a catch, he plays along but plans to kill him together with Rey. I think the dynamic between Kylo and Palps has to change, Palps will play the act of a weak, harmless old man, like the good old days with Anakin. Make Kylo less hostile, rather more intrigued. I’m working on a mockup that will go something like this:

  • At last! My boy.
  • Snoke trained you well.
  • I killed Snoke.
  • I made Snoke. I have been the voice inside your head.
  • The first Order was just the beginning, I will give you so much more.
  • I have died before, now I don’t have long, I’m weak - more than a clone, less than a man.
  • What could you give me ?
  • Everything - a new Empire, the might of the final order will soon be ready, It will be yours if you do what I ask.
  • Become what your grand father Vader could not! Find the girl, Turn her and bring her before me. Together you will rule the galaxy as emperor and empress. Two that become one. A dyad of the dark-side of the force.
  • Who is she ?
  • Our blood. (just my crazy headcanon)

Here’s a proof of concept:

-Added in a hint of the “Palpatine’s teachings” track.
-Axed Snoke’s clone, as well as switching around the shots for better fluidity.
-Cut Snoke’s line “you have ever heard”.
-Cut Kylo’s aggression, he’s almost submissive, which in the context of this story makes his plan to kill Palps all the more pronounced.

It’s a painting called “Valley of the Dead” by the surrealist Polish painter Zdzisław Beksiński.

I wonder If you could use shot’s of Anakin, Luke, and Obi-wan with their hand lifted up as if to back up Rey during the lightning clash.
For Luke you could use the shot of him raising the x-wing on Achto, For Anakin you could use the shot of him force choking Padme, and for Obi wan the shot of him force pushing against Anakin.

In all seriousness though, I think having the redemption of Kylo Ren anchored on a hallucination of his father is a little silly. Leia’s presence needs to be felt throughout, not just as an afterthought but as directly involved with Han’s appearance and subsequently her sons redemption, Maybe instead of Luke shadowy silhouette after Han disappears, we see Leia’s. A force projection of sorts.

I’d prefer not to include Leia with the ghosts. Her body is still sitting on Jungleworld, but I think we can get away with just hearing her voice because that seems to come first, as with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. Kinda/sorta. Plus her appearance at the end is that much nicer to see.

Interestingly enough, according to jedipaxis, in an earlier cut the phantoms of Luke and Leia appeared in front of Palpatine and gave the finishing blow. You probably won’t go that route given that in your version Leia’s body stays in the jungle till the end, although a version with Leia’s ghost could be useful for other edits where her body disappears after Kylo’s vision with Han.
