I am still somewhat excited at the moment. May be because of all the excitement around The Mandalorian or because of my young one and me playing Lego Star Wars on the Wii and him getting hyper excited about it and most things SW at the moment.
Of course my own version of how to resolve the story is much better so EP9 won´t be able to compete with that, sooo...
Okay, my version, the gist of it being that Palpy had created the Death Stars as hidden experimental labs. Creating life really consuming a lot of energy (maybe a reason why Kamino was chosen because of all of the natural electricity in the atmosphere?) and especially creating force sensitive life calls for a HUGE generator. And what is the LARGEST generator of controlled energy? Yup, ya guessed it the DSs. The Geonisisans thought they created a huge killing machine, but in truth the built a large BREEDING chamber. A hidden lab. Hidden in plain sight and guarded like there was no tomorrow. Palpy knew that his first experiment in creating life was a failure because he was not able to exact enough control over the specimen, so he went further and created a Super Duper HOMUNCULUS!!! Enter Rey.
By the way, HOMUNCULI in Alchemy are artificially created HELPERS! See what we got here? Is Darth Vader a helper demon or what?!
So, the SUPER DUPER Homunculus that should be Rey was unfortunately lost during the Destruction of the DS2. But guess what?! Scouring the debris in the aftermath of the battle of Yavin, Rebel Alliance agents found a superfortified sphere that contained a baby girl. Awwww... and they brought it to the Princess who appointed close friends to keep an eye on her. Let´s call them Gowan and Neru Cars. They cared for baby Rey for quite some time but at one point they were found out by agents of the old Empire becoming the First Order! A chase ensued and they had no other chance than leave their adopted child on the planet Jakku, promising their return and leaving in a hurry. The kid did not understand why she was left, leaving her traumatized. Or kind of indifferent? Anyway, loads of opportunities for dark emotions to take the kid over.
Yes, Palpy planned a lot of this way in advance. Let´s see how it really plays out in 9. But I guess Rose Tico is going to mess everything up. Poor Rose! OR! She is the saviour because she is good with horses. Yes, I am a bit mean spirited towards her, due to the lack of not being fleshed out more in Episode 8.
