I almost used that in my mockup. I like ‘I have died before’ and hated to lose it. Honestly, saving ‘You want to kill me…that is what I want’ until the end would provide more information for Rey. It could be followed by him saying she’ll be empress and they will be one…that would provide all the context needed I think for the end to justify her not killing him right away, yet still provide all the setup at the beginning of the movie with the Kylo talk. Good idea!
JEDIT: Updated clips implementing idir_hh’s idea:

I just watched these and as edits they are both pretty good!
(The first has a notable shift in the general ambiance and/or reverb where the new/re-shuffles lines have been inserted)
However also on the first clip there’s a shift in the narrative that comes out of left field and doesn’t make sense in this context.
Palpatine:-
Kill me and my spirit will pass into you as all the sith live in me.
Kylo:-
What could YOU give ME?
I don’t see the connection in the two strands of conversation?
Ie
Person one:-
Where is the airport?
Person two:-
Orange?
Alternatively if there is a connection it’s this:
Palpatine is offering a deal along the lines of:-
Palpatine:-
‘Kill me so I can get out of this wretched body, I’ll possess you but in so doing I will allow you to share the power of the Sith’
Kylo:-
What do I get out of this??
Palpatine:-
Everyth…hold on, I just told you???
So, it makes Kylo seem a bit dim?
In my opinion the new Palpatine dialogue is fine in itself but the link to Kylo’s line is just not there or worse underserves his character?
