That's a resounding "yes" from me.

I didn't want her to be a Skywalker either - but there's something wrong about the central character of the final "Skywalker Saga" trilogy being descended from the "other" most powerful family.
 
Why would lazy fan fiction nonsense rushed out by some corporation undermine anything?

This trash isn't Star Wars. There is no "Rey Palpatine" or "Rey Skywalker"....there's no "Rey" period. She's just a soulless Mary Sue built by a committee for Disney's products.

Ignore it and it'll go away. Go watch the real SW movies and enjoy them again.
 
No.....

But I wont give reasons cause they are my own and no one else has to agree.....

I think it would have been too predictable for her to be a kenobi. JJ already gets slack for not taking enough risks so I think it's fine. Rise of skywalker has a lot of ends to tie up, and a lot of rubbish to set right from last Jedi (IMO) so it did the best it could. Can star wars films ever live up to the originals? Not likely, but I enjoyed it. That last trailer was epic, I think episode 9 could have been a lot worse
 
I think it threw away the notion that anyone could be a Skywalker, without being a Skywalker. I suspect her being a Palpatine was just a contrived explanation to fans who questioned her abilities but they really just dug themselves a bigger hole.
 
Not really. My mother is flying out so that we could finally see it together this weekend. :banghead

Well, I hate to break it to ya again, but Palpy got some action post buttcrack-forehead, ended up with a Scott Palpatine as Palpy Jnr, who mocked his evil plans mercilessly then took off to a desert planet.... but Palpy was one step ahead of him with a plan.... to take up residence in the body of Scott's 5 year old daughter. That's right, grandad lives again - in a little girl's body.

Scott cracked up laughing, so Palpy had him killed, then he somehow lost track of his new body - err, granddaughter - then, more than a decade later, he tapped the mic on the galaxy-wide P.A. system and announced he wanted one million dollars for-- oh, wait no... simply that he was BACK after being thrown down a bottomless shaft aboard a death star that was atomized like 30 minutes later.

It turns out he cloned Snoke from... well, the original Snoke or something... and that he now has a newly cloned (I think...) Palpy body that's regenerating so he doesn't need his grandaughter's hot little bod anymore but... oh, wait - no, he still needs that bod so he can jump into it and recline on his throne - which also survived the atomization of the death star - and SHE can hiss like "everything is proceeding as I have foreseen" and then cackling like a hottie (a classic Daisy moment.)

Anyway, don't wanna spoil the ending for ya!
 
It's bait and switch.

Just like they did with The Force Awakens (trailers show a good movie. Go see it and you want to burn your eyes and ears out after - seriously, not a single person smiling when they left the theater from TFA showings I saw).

People were smiling when they left TROS at least I have to give them that. About half had brainless bliss smiles, and the other half snarky condescending ones.

On the plus side, I ran my fingernails down a chalkboard yesterday, and I have to say it was pleasant compared to the ST experience as a whole.
 
It wouldn’t have been any better if she’d magically been a Skywalker. Sheev was the best part of TROS, so if her being a Palpatine meant he got to come back then so be it - unexplained survival or not. :lol
 
Nope...

I felt that the ST with Snoke did a job of undermining the Skywalker saga on its own.

For me, having it be a major villain throughout the whole story where the skywalkers are a major part and reaon for the defeat of that villain works better then just some other "emperor" doing the same thing as the last one.

It helps make the series as one big story. A story of Palpatine vs the Skywalkers.
