How do you think it would end?

Spoiler!

Is Rey doomed to follow the path of the dark side, due to her genetic heritage? Or does she make a Luke type stand against the emperor and choose her own destiny?

Spoiler!

There's what I would like based on my theory, what I think could happen and what I think will happen.


What I would like. We get the double flip where Ren gets redeemed and goes up against the new Empress Rey and tries to redeem her and fails. Ren kills Rey and then does the original ROTJ ending where he goes into a self exile in the hopes that there won't a rise of the Jedi or the Sith which seems to be a constant dark vs light war.


What could happen.



Rey gets tempted down the dark path by Palpatine's message. But Ren confronts her in his desire for power, but Luke's ghost intervenes and we get a double flip to the light side. Rey and Ren go off to become celestials to balance the force re father daughter and son.



What probably will happen.



Rey never goes bad, Ren continues to get worse, they confront each other on a new First Order Super Weapon, and Rey despite whatever evil parentage redeems Ren and they go to start a new Jedi Academy.
