my tros hot take over a year after a movie is that rey palpatine wasn’t necessarily the worst way they could’ve gone (like it’s ridiculous but in the endearing way that all star wars is kind of ridiculous) but the way it’s revealed by kylo just being like “you’re a palpatine” in the last movie of the trilogy is still really funny to me for some reason

#my extra sizzling hot take is that rey palpatine is better than if they’d gone with rey kenobi but people don’t like to hear that one #but also on one hand ‘rey is the granddaughter of the top dog evil guy’ is a very weird way to try and outdo the original trilogy #like the ot is like ‘and Luke’s dad is DARTH VADER 😱’ #and the st goes ‘oh yeah? well our protagonist is the granddaughter of that guys eviler boss!’ #regardless of all that i still love the rey skywalker ending. you can pry it from my cold dead hands #it’s about the found family and not defining yourself by the people you’re unfortunately related to but instead the people who you choose to #associate with and admire.
