Says explained

The Force in Star Wars has always been loosely defined. The film names this connection a dyad and shows how it works, which is more than many earlier uses of the Force.

Says dumb

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.

Quick Fix

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.

Plant it earlier

Show a small object pass between Rey and Kylo during a previous bond scene, so the later use is an escalation.
