But, what if she did the opposite?
What if Rey actually replaced Emperor Palpatine instead of defeating him?
Thats howtheStar Warssequel trilogyshould have gone, as the sight of Rey replacing Palpatine is just too cool.
In the movie, that scene happens, and then the film simply moves on to the next scene.
TheStar Warssequels had a chance to subvert fans expectations rather than play into exactly what fans would have expected.
Rey becomes the main hero, Kylo Ren finds redemption, the good guys save the day.
