I’m not sure there would be enough room for the original line of “Leia knew it, too” without it all feeling too congested. Also, the training we witness Rey doing (for obvious reasons) is without Leia present, so I think “Leia sensed it as she trained you” works well to clarify that isn’t normally the case. After all, Leia would need to be observing her very closely to sense such a thing.
It would definitely be cool if “We’ll always be with you” could fit over the X-wing lift scene. I don’t see any particular reason why the original line couldn’t suffice here, but worst case scenario another AI line could say the same thing.
As for the main paragraph, I’ll get to it at some point this week. Honestly, it just boggles my mind that the original film, instead of talking about Leia’s character and legacy, decides to introduce not 1 but 2 prophecies given by her that spoil the end of the movie (Ben dies and Rey finishes Leia’s Jedi path by killing Palpatine). What we’ve got here not only honors the character’s legacy but also ties her in with the themes of the movie and Rey’s own journey.
