Oh. My. God.

Yes, she's TECHNICALLY Rey Palpatine, but given that she:

1. Kills Palpatine.

2. Becomes a Jedi, not a Sith

She's really only nominally a Palpatine.

Stop being so DAMN obtuse.

Correct, so Rey Palpatine wins. Again, nobody ever said Emperor Palpatine won in these last two pages. She clearly kills her grandpa. However, Rey isn’t a Skywalker and adapts the name because Like and Leia give her the blessing because of what Luke says, your blood doesn’t determine who you are.

But ultimately, Rey is still a Palpatine. You even said it yourself.

Calm down Karen. Don’t know why you’re getting so worked up over a basic statement.

You can't read. Someone said "Palpatine won."

Rey is a Palpatine in name only -- and not even that; she calls herself Rey Skywalker.

To continue to harp on her technical bloodline is frankly just stupid.

That literally is Rey’s entire arc in the movie! JFC

I mean I don’t care about some semantic stupidity of saying that “Palpatine won.” She disavowed her bloodline.

You do care because you’re still stuck on a technicality...

Not really. You're all stuck on the technicality of the fact that she remained his granddaughter, even though she disavowed him completely. The fact that she disavowed him means Palpatine didn't win outside of the most nominal, technical sense of the word. To phrase it that way suggests a misunderstanding of everything that actually happened. The entire point is that you can escape your bloodline. That's why she called herself Rey Skywalker.

One of the points of this trilogy is that blood is not destiny. That’s where Rian j was trying to go.

Rey is a Palpatine but chooses to be a Skywalker at the end. Palpatine did not win.

The plot had a lot of holes and inconsistencies and the dialogue was dreadful, but the whole arc was far superior to the execrable prequels and as an action movie, it hit the right notes. The characters were pretty flat and the one developing arc, the interplay between Kylo Ren and Rey, was only compelling because Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver are really good actors, not due to the script.

Palpatine, meh. Better to resurrect an old villain than introduce a new one in the 9th movie.

They didn't even resurrect him. The first line of the opening scroll says "the dead speak." He never went anywhere.

He was in the prequels as the one who took over the Senate and turned Anakin into Darth Vader. He continued in the original trilogy as Darth Vader's Sith Lord (Vader was the Sith Apprentice). Judging from the Sith rule of 2, Snoke couldn't have been alone; he had to have a master. The most logical one was Palpatine, so it made perfect sense when it turned out that he had been controlling Snoke.

You all seem to want every detail of a movie spoon-fed to you. Movies--especially long epics like Star Wars--aren't going to do that. Palpatine had Snoke in The Last Jedi, so he didn't necessarily have to put himself in the forefront; moreover, he was out on Exogol creating that crazy fleet of Star Destroyers. Once Snoke was killed in The Last Jedi, Palpatine came out and sent out that message.

Don’t care. It makes sense. An 86% audience score backs me up. Have fun being part of the 14%.

She’s not a Palpatine in name, she’s a Palpatine in blood only. Hence Luke’s conversation with her...

You need to rewatch the movie again because clearly this point was missed on you. You shouldn’t watch movies after you down an entire bottle of wine.

The entire point is that regardless that she’s a Palpatine, she chooses to fight for good and the Jedi. But her bloodline doesn’t just change, she’s still a Palpatine.

in name only is an expression meaning nominally.

And what crock to call it the Rise of Skywalker! Just to trick the audience to think they will actually get Skywalkers as winners!
