EDIT: Well, it might be awkward to have Palpatine just offer Kylo a vague “Final Order” “might” during the opening, and a subsequent reference to “outdated ships” or whatever wouldn’t make immediate sense. 😕
That’s the point, it creates anticipation for when the heroes find Exogol. The audience doesn’t see it but Kylo does, “with what I’ve seen on Exogol, the first order is about to become a true empire”.
