Spoilers for The Last Jedi:
Just before Snoke is slain,
he narrates Kylo Ren's thoughts/feelings (saying things like "he turns the lightsaber towards his enemy" and so on) we see the Skywalker lightsaber being manipulated through the Force to point towards and then slay Snoke. My question is, do we know for sure who was using to Force to use the Skywalker lightsaber in this scene?
It could have been
A) Kylo Ren was turning igniting the Skywalker lightsaber with the Force. Snoke assumed the thoughts/feelings he was sensing were directed at Rey but they weren't.
Or... B) Snoke was so preoccupied with Kylo's thoughts that he wasn't paying any attention to Rey's thoughts. Rey takes advantage of this and uses the Force to turn and ignite the Skywalker lightsaber to slay Snoke.
This option is reinforced by the fact that
1) the Skywalker lightsaber then zooms into Rey's hand, not Kylo's.
2) after the ensuing scuffle, Kylo Ren reveals that he hasn't switched sides; he is still a believer in the First Order.
3) Kylo Ren even tells Hux that Rey slew Snoke.
