DZ-330, restructuring like that, breaking up the heroes section by moving the spy message tease and Rey training before Kylo-Ren works so well.
One thing I remember from my first viewing in theaters was that it didn’t feel like time had passed because all of the falcon/Ajan Kloss scenes were bumped together. I remember hating the first 30 minutes of the movie because the pacing felt so clunky. We already had the reveal, but now we have to go through it all again with our heroes.
Your edit now teases a spy message, establishes Rey and reteases her inner darkness, then Kylo-Ren reveals what the spy message told, and also further teases some connection between Palpatine and Rey.
One thing leads to the next; that’s editing! Great job!
Edit: Though Hal and DominicCobb make good points about the spy message. Hmm.
