It’s even possible there were initially clear signs of that in The Force Awakens, scenes that could have ended up getting cut to make room for others.
Now, with Leia’s command of the force more plainly stated, the scene would make more sense in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Especially when considering she’s a twin to Luke Skywalker, who displayed otherworldly Force powers in The Last Jedi’s final scenes.
It’s only natural she’d grow further in tune with the Force in the years following the original trilogy, and be able to achieve some impressive feats of her own.
