Them falling into each other isn’t the problem. Randomly stopping like that for a guy, out of nowhere, who only speaks after they’ve stopped makes no sense lol.

And it’s not that convenient how Kylo finds them. It’s a use of their dyad being able to send things back and forth ability. Showing how much can be literally sent over now (more than just droplets of water) and thus a set up for the end with the lightsaber. And having a point to him taking the necklace too, not just him randomly grabbing her… for intimidation or something? I remember being weirded out by that for the first watch, but having a wave of realization that he was using the necklace for this purpose.

And now with us adding the puppet show and having Rey feel even more longing for a family and all that, the alien asking for her name and casually giving her the necklace is even more poignant and important to dwell on for Rey’s character. Maybe grabbing the necklace is now super symbolic of evil Kylo Ren trying to take away her happiness? Could look at it that way.

Point is, I think all of this is needed in the way this movie works, we can’t get rid of it. How it’s currently edited in this edit works well enough by letting this breathe better.
