I love the visuals from 4A…ie the Rey/Kylo moment but with the more subtle radio message from 4b…ie no laughter (in my opinion it’s just too on the nose)

I personally feel that Kylo should really be questioning what he heard Or if he even heard it and so he might even be questioning his own sanity considering that he has just lost everything:- His father, any ties to his mother, Snoke and his budding human connection with Rey

He’s lost it all apart from the First order…but in his first command as Supreme Leader he has just been made to look quite incompetent and he knows it, hence I quite like the subtext that he might question what he’s hearing as his self doubt in that moment might make him wonder if he can hold it together under the pressure

Hence why I think a ‘less is more’ approach to the signal would be more psychological than it being spelled out as a very definitive radio or force connection.

“What was that? Who was that? Was that the radio? Did I even hear it?

It came and went so quick I can’t be sure and I never heard it again…but I’m sure I heard a voice…’his’ voice and now it’s like a splinter in my mind”
