The biggest problem the Rey movie will have is coming up with a good villain.
What I still don't really understand is why Disney didn't take the new/old EU material and create a bunch on animated stand alone projects. Like the DC animated movies.
This will obviously be the first movie presumably without either the Empire, The First Order, or Palpatine pulling the strings. So they're going to have to come up with something completely new, which could be a blessing or a curse. Either way, for the first time, I hope we get an actual villain origin story. That's something that could really set this movie apart.
Would you prefer that or some form of that combined with an inner battle with Rey being a palpatine….maybe this evil being knows this (or would be even better if they didn't) and maybe even better Rey has kept this a secret out of fear (which leads to…things) because of what happened to Luke in TLJ and perhaps we even get some cool in depth look at what that dang random Rey double lightsaber deal was in TRoS….
Personally, I'd rather they never mention Rey's connection to Palpatine ever again, but at this point I don't see how they avoid it. So yeah, if they have to go there I do at least like the idea of a new villain attempting to use it against her in some or fashion. Hopefully it wouldn't be the main driver, though.
As for whether she tries to keep her lineage a secret, I don't quite know where I stand on that. On one hand, I guess it could make for good drama, but on the other hand I think I'm leaning more toward it already being a known fact, she's a good teacher because she personally has experience with both the light
and the dark side of the Force, we get that out of the way, and move on to some new dilemma/drama.
