It’s one of the reasons I’m thinking of keeping V2 for those that would prefer not to have the extra Palpatine stuff (or at least not this scene).
It appears you will not please everyone with teasing Palpatine’s return in TLJ so think this is the best option. Have a Rekindled: Classic (V2) and Rekindled:Palpatine Returns (V3).
I personally like the radio broadcast and see no reason the Kylo and Rey force connection can’t stay. I think the scene works well.
