It made no sense in the context of this saga, that she was a nobody. Nothing wrong with not having powerful parents, for all we know, Obi-Wan, Yoda etc had regular parents. Just with Rey it didn’t make sense.
Still being a Palpatine felt a bit like a twist. Clearly TFA built to something, but TLJ absolutely failed to set up the third movie. Impressive that TROS still delivered as well as it did.

The whole point of the Last Jedi was that anybody was capable of great things. Ben was the Skywalker in this trilogy, so it didn’t require Rey to be anybody special.
Both work in concert with each other. I have zero issues with her being related to Palpatine. It certainly wasn't necessary but it also makes narrative sense, so it's a totally valid and fine choice.

TLJ set up a movie that Disney threw away. Of course, it didn't set up TROS.
I really liked where they were going.

I remember chewies death that no one believed and i remember old lando hitting on that girl at the end
Oh, I 100% bought Chewie's death. And based on reactions in the theater both times I saw it, a lot of other people did too. And I was fucking over the moon when it was misdirect. I loved that.

I don't even remember Chewie potentially dying - did this actually happen?
