I would be really disappointed in Disney and JJ for having messed up a cool story.

Rey not being related to big Star Wars characters might be the best choice those movies have made.

I don't give a fucking about Rey's lineage. That's the least of the problems. At this point, turning her is the only way to save her character and the series.

I wouldn't mind this reversal. It was already teed up in TFA only to be undercut in TLJ. Can't do any more damage by changing course again.

Luke actually being alive

This wouldn't work for me unless the movie spends a big chunk of time justifying how Luke discovered Plagueis' secret or something. Even then, I don't think you can just bring him back without foreshadowing it before his death... it would seem too cheap at this point. I'd have to say "no" to this.

Rey's parents didn't need to be important, she just needed something.

She could have been one of Luke's trainees or something as an explanation.

Although making her and Kylo Ren powerful was a mistake.

Luke is definitely gonna be in it and he's probably gonna be more "here" than there.

It can easily be handwaved as Luke learning of something beyond what Qui Gon discovered in terms of Force ghosts.

I never got why Kylo decided to blame Rey for killing Snoke.

The Dark side way of doing things is "yeah I killed him, and you were scared of him, so you better be scared of me too."

This would further show that TLJ was a even more pointless movie that would enrage the fans even more.

That would truly be the end to this series

Reys parents being important is stupid and Luke will be back as a force ghost anyway.

The FO was pretty loyal to Snoke by years of conditioning

The new leader openly declaring he killed Snoke wouldn't be cool by most of them I think

I think it's pretty clear at least for Luke that JJ was going somewhere else with him. The story was that Luke still had the full Force at the end of TFA and the scene that they had filmed had Rey arriving to a Luke surrounded by a bunch of floating boulders (I know, sounds cheesy).

Then Rian told JJ about his spin and JJ accepted it and changed the ending of TFA to be Force-less.

I wonder if JJ goes back to whatever can be salvaged from that.

Dang, they literally admitted that they are making it up as they go.
