I had originally omitted Snoke’s line about bridging their minds but I’ve since decided it’s best to keep it there since that’s the whole twist of the movie.
What we decided to do is change TROS’s line in Ascendant so that Kylo says they’ve become a dyad in the Force, not that they just are one. That way Snoke still bridged their minds, but he didn’t realize he was jumpstarting a latent connection between them.
I totally get that approach, my brain kinda filled in the old dialogue/context in TRoS so that change flew over my head.
I still like the idea of setting up the Dyad in TFA, cause it gives some much needed connective tissue for the Trilogy. Maybe i have to learn a little bit more about VFX 😃
