All good points, but the fact Kylo and Rey is showing a force connection after Snoke is dead (as we are lead to believe Snoke was manipulating this bond) is important to the audience going into TROS. The force connection between Kylo and Rey is still occurring in TROS and really the only major thing JJ did not retcon from TLJ in TROS.
I just think it could be confusing in TROS as to why they still have this Force connection if the scene of Kylo and Rey still showing they have force connection at the end of TLJ is removed.
Fair point. Well, if a briefer Palpatine tease was made, then maybe you could keep the Rey/Kylo moment and have that tease without reusing little to no footage. Hmm.
EDIT: Palpatease?
