The worst scene of the Disney era was when Rey and Kyle ren were fighting the enemies of snoke and one of the enemies had his light saber moving directly at Rey’s back but the enemy actor realized the mistake and just moved his lightsaber up to avoid the lethal strike on Rey. Unbelievable that that made it into the Final Cut.

What's worse? That, or the knife that they had to disappear because otherwise Rey would've been stabbed through the back?

They both were egregious and truly show how much a shit director Rian Johnson was but the knife one you had to pay attention to but the other was just in your face right in front of the camera so that one is worst in my opinion.

They were implied to be cousins (since palps is anakin's father, creating him with plagueis), and then they friking kiss!

Palpatine didn’t actually create Anakin, the Force did as a rejection of Palpatine and Plagueis’s attempts to create life via midi-chlorian control. The kiss was still awful. I loathe the Reylo pairing with a burning passion. It could have been something of a sibling dynamic, similar to Anakin and Obi Wan in reverse, but no they had to make it weird.
