The earlier film showed the two touching hands. Having objects go through the bond is a step beyond and the film treats it as normal.

It is a magic power in a film about magic, so I did not question it.
The film calls it a Force dyad, a rare connection, and the previous film already showed the pair connected.

Fixes are written by people. The smallest change, in 200 characters or fewer, that would have fixed the scene. AI is used only for duplicate detection, length and moderation.
Show a small object pass between Rey and Kylo during a previous bond scene, so the later use is an escalation.
