I like the idea that Rey is a promising Jedi who just keeps dying, but some government program keeps cloning her.
Almost everyone she encounters (Han, Leia, Kylo, BB8) knows this and have met two or three other iterations of her; they're just tired of explaining the whole thing over and over and figure it's not worth breaking it to her again.

This is why Luke is so non-plussed when she shoes up. He's already "trained" her several times.

surely the clone was sheev and thus the original was shev

How about not throwing in random characters that have no connection to the movies. I still don't know if the guy from start of force awakens was someone of importance from some lovely comic book or it was just a rando living in desert, having a map to luke for no reason

Maz isn't in this next movie right? Just a complete nonsense character spouting prophecies that has been forgotten about?

But the writer of KOTOR 2 said that character was borne out of his dislike of the idea that the Force controls everything. But the fact that every prophecy in the movies is self-fulfilling, Yoda says the future is always in motion, and Sheev repeatedly says "Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen" before being thrown into a pit by his man servant call that into question more effectively than a character just trying to kill the Force, IMO.

Oh right. Everyone skips over what we learned Snoke did and how he corrupted Kylo. He was the Gardner at the Jedi temple who Luke scarred for "dome reason." And... That's it.

Honestly the bombers were really disappointing because they were made of paper. If you want to make it an homage to WWII bombers go ahead and make it a flying fortress. Have Rose complete the mission crash it back into the hanger being guided in by flight control, half the ship missing and her sister dying/dead in the pilot seat.

Anyway, unrelated, I'm going to just have a little headcanon in my mind that the whole Rey Palpatine thing came around because JJ got a note saying "can we make Rey a princess somehow?" and he went "... gently caress, there's only one Emperor, only way this'll work and mean anything is if we go that route". I mean, she's technically a princess as his only living next of kin, right?

It's not only this, but like, it pained Luke that he found himself teetering on the edge of the Dark Side for the briefest of moments. It pained him so much that he hosed off to Ach-To, ultimately feeling that he was too dangerous to be left alive and selfishly deciding that the lineage of the Jedi order would end with him. That poo poo with Ben broke him. And I love that exploration of the character and how he would have to overcome that. I certainly find it more interesting than just turning Luke into some super sage ultra-wise badass Jedi grandmaster. Iconoclast Luke owns something fierce.

To be fair, calling him pablo and referring to his triumphs and travails in such an exaggerated yet casual fashion is partly an expression of a long running CD star wars thread gag dating back to the hallowed days of the jivjov wars
