What do you think? It dosent sound that great, but it looks like it would've been better than the fiasco we got.
It doesn't sound better, but at least no Palpatine
shareIt's does have Palpatine but...as a left over holo message to Vader.
shareColin Trevorrow’s Star Wars Episode IX Supercut – The Most Complete Summary to Date

Across two episodes to date on the Robservations podcast, and one Midnight’s Edge podcast, our good friend Robert Meyer Burnett has broken down the unused script for Colin Trevorrow's original "Star Wars: The Duel of the Fates", the originally planned iteration of Episode IX.share
In this video, we have intercut all the most relevant bits from all the three above video podcasts, to bring you the most complete summary and overview of the script to date.
Colin Trevorrow’s draft, titled Duel of the Fates, slated the Rey’s parents question as being adequately answered by The Last Jedi, with the only addendum being that Kylo Ren killed Rey’s parents, a fact that he reveals during their final showdown in order to spur on her aggression. One account of the draft stated that with his dying breath, he reveals that her last name is “Solana.”share
Trevorrow’s draft was discarded extremely late in preproduction, after Carrie Fisher had passed away, and Abrams only took over Episode IX after The Last Jedi had already hit theaters. Screenwriter Chris Terrio has explained the rationale for Rey being Palpatine’s granddaughter very thoroughly in interviews following Episode IX’s release, stating that he and Abrams came to that decision together, thinking that it was the only thing Rey could hear that would be more distressing than hearing her parents were nobodies. In one interview he basically frames it in a way where they liked Rian Johnson’s reveal so much that they wanted to do it too, but they wanted to one-up it, stating that he thought it was “too easy.”
No, it doesn’t get more cogent when he explains it.
The most plausible explanation for the reversal in direction is that Lucasfilm knee-jerked at the complaints stemming from toxic fans after The Last Jedi, threw out the plan for Duel of the Fates over that and Carrie’s death, and purposely outlined a series of bullet points for Abrams and Terrio to hit in order to fulfill an imaginary fan-wishlist. However, Terrio’s comments and Trevorrow’s draft make it exceedingly clear that Rey Palpatine was essentially an 11th hour decision.
there was no plan, so nothing was reversed to please fans. that person loses all credibility calling dislikers of tlj toxic
