Best way is a two-pronged approach - editing VII so it ends with Rey and Chewie taking off on the Falcon, and moving VII’s final scenes of them landing on Ahch-To to VIII, at which point you can open the film with those scenes or with some Resistance stuff and then to the Jedi Steps scenes. A new crawl can imply some time having passed, and we can assume the journey to Ahch-To was a pretty long one more easily when the takeoff is in one film and the landing is in another.
