Why is Kylo ‘talking’ to Darth’s mask if in the scene before he was informed that he never spoke to him? Is it just like, triggering a flashback in Kylo in the same way that the Skywalker Saber started one with Rey?
Honestly I have no idea. The scene as is makes no sense and really only serves to establish that Rey has a vision (which it barely does) and gives flashes to remind you of key moments in the last two films (Han’s death primarily). Clearly a casualty of editing.
According to the JP leaks, didn’t the film originally start with the Luke and Leia flashback, and then transition to present day Leia training Rey? If Kylo Ren re-forged their Force bond during her training montage, then it presumably would have taken place before Kylo met Palpatine.
I guess you could say Vader’s helmet and other Force-related objects can concentrate power to achieve more difficult tasks? Or Palpatine helped Kylo re-establish that connection through Vader’s helmet? I’m not really sure, that is a good question.
That makes as much sense as anything. If Kylo found the wayfinder in Vader’s castle then it’d especially make sense. What I don’t get is why they thought they could ever start the film with a flashback.
