Hal, to be honest, I’ve completely forgotten how we landed on this topic again LMAO. Once I remember, I’ll edit this post or create a new one.

EDIT: Ok, so originally it was brought up because I was trying to convince everyone not to remove references to the dyad in TROS because it would create some issues, especially with Snoke’s mind bridging still in place. Then I brought up how removing it would help clear a lot of questions, such as how is Snoke powerful enough to create such a connection without dying, and to a lesser degree explain why Palpatine isn’t aware of something his pawn supposedly created. If Snoke didn’t create it, but was relying on it, it’s at least a little more understandable. It would also open the door for their connection to have started in TFA in the interrogation scene, where Rey essentially learns all of Kylo’s training in an instant.
