Rey and Kylo are the chosen ones who will ultimately bring balance to the force. Light and dark. Combined.

I would assume so, but neither of them are Jedi?

It’s definitely Death Star wreckage Theyre on. You can see cannon towers off to the left. See loads of them in ANH in the trench run

Isn't that what the villain in Black Widow does. Is Rey Taskmaster?
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Random thoughts....

My fav shot from that new footage is all the Star Destroyers appearing at the same time - that was super cool

If I'm following the other eight "Skywalker" movies correctly, the only way that you can die and "come back" is via Force Ghost. So, if they plan to bring others back to life, my hope is that it's consistent.

Since I watched ROTJ in 1983 in the theater, I came away with three firm conclusions that I hope are not erased after 36 years:

1. Darth Vader is dead

2. Anakin was redeemed and is now a force ghost

3. Palps is dead

Gonna have a real hard time if people start taking the forms of other bodies and such. When the Skywalker Saga is rebooted, then go ahead and change the rules of the game, but please no new cheap thrills.

Remain optimistic.

1 & 2 are a lock, Coach.

3 is a little murkier right now. I still think it's 100% true. The question becomes what changes that. He was always obsessed with cheating death. I have no doubt there's a compelling and logical way to do that. We'll see.

Paint it in another way.
If all of this. Grooming and corrupting Anakin. Taking over the galaxy. Forward planning into corrupting children - as he already has as seen in clone wars. Then having skywalker and Rey and Kylo exactly where he wants them. Is that not exactly perfect? When you rule the galaxy and you’re a dick that’s what you do. No?

I think the thing that's bugging me most is that if you asked anyone after watching ROTJ for the first time they'd say Palps is dead. It was 100 percent at the time. And it was understood in that way for soooo long. So I think messing w/ that is problematic. It'd be like Rocky beat Apollo Creed in the first fight due to a technicality revealed in a new film. I dunno
