I wonder if they didn’t have Leia say “always” because they decided for her body to vanish subsequent to that moment.
Yes I’m quite certain that’s the reason, although I don’t care. I can think of at least a few different explanations that’d satisfy me. In my mind the potential error is worth it to get Leia’s voice in there.
I wonder if it’d be at all doable or even a good idea to have her vanish right after Ben’s resolution after talking with Han.
It’s something we’ve discussed before. The issue is that Poe speaks to Leia’s dead body, which comes after the Han scene. The problem with just moving the Han scene is it’s tied in a knot (Han scene > Palpatine puts Pryde in charge > Kijimi blows up > Poe put in charge > Poe talks to Leia’s body).
