That’s true! You could actually leave the shots in the same order, and not have to meddle with the soundtrack too much. Really, all you would need to do is add a Leia line like, “We can still save her…” to make it clearer that Leia played a role in saving Rey, and providing enough of an explanation as to how Ben also survived the process.
Then you can cut away before Ben’s smile begins to fade. Later, Rey and Ben can then meet up on Tatooine. And I have a practical idea for how to achieve that without shooting any new footage.
