It’s definitely a residual of the DOTF script where Colin Trevorrow was going to redefine balance this way (bleagh). Along with Rey and Poe’s introduction scene hinting at some sort of attraction between them. Honestly, that could be removed too because in general people are way too cheery in that scene.
I’ve removed Rey and Poe’s introduction. The whole scene plays out so much better without it. Especially with having Rey close the door on Kylo Ren to watching Finn tend to Rose. It flows much better for her character in the moment.
