It felt a little weird that Kylo asks “what could you give me?” after Emperor kinda just explained it by saying “kill me and my spirit will pass into you, as all the Sith live in me.” Like… you’ll be getting the power of all the Sith, what more do you need to know? I appreciate getting rid of the eye-rolling ROTS line he originally says, though lol. The new line placement is growing on me the longer I think it through, and I don’t know what I’d do to make it perfect for me. So whatever, it’s fine. Either way, the change is definitely better than what he originally says.

However, doesn’t this create an issue? Since Kylo has now learned the Emperor’s goal, why doesn’t he just kill the Emperor then and there? Become an unstoppable super villain off the bat. Or something. What exactly are Kylo’s “other plans” now (kill the Emperor… together? Does Kylo not believe what he said about his spirit passing into him?) Also, lol, why does the Emperor sense some things coming, and is oblivious to other things? Is it something like; he’s so evil and full of hate, he can’t even foresee them both becoming good together and turning on him? But that’s just weird and also not explained. I can’t put my finger on it, what the root issue is (Believe me, this message went through many extensive drafts that went super off-topic.) I think of an issue, then a solution… but then something else pops up in my head that makes no sense about this storyline. It’s so frustrating, this one. The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi were so clear to me. Then The Rise Of Skywalker comes along and mucks it up with this story that I have to spend hours trying to piece together; making whatever conclusions and assumptions I can come up with. Arrgh. Sorry for going off-topic at the end there.
