I'm so conflicted about it though. To my knowledge the first time force healing was shown it was in kotor.(edit: it was not) It makes sense as a game play mechanic but not as a plot device. I was against it for baby Yoda and I am still aginst it for Rey.
I thought Rey's force healing would've made a lot more sense if it was only Ben she healed, showing that the ability was tied to Ben and their force bond. Instead we got the random scene of Rey healing the serpent just to show she could.
Edit: people keep replying the same thing about the snake being needed foreshadowing. That's my point tho, if they explained Rey and Ben's Force Dyad mumbo jumbo and had it tied into that we wouldn't need the snake at all.
Baby Yoda healed a, relatively, small injury that was bleeding and then passed out
Rey healed a lightsaber wound to a major organ and a large ass injury on a snake, and didn't have a drop of sweat on her brow. I think she healed one other big injury but I don't remember
Now this isn't to say Rey's healing made less sense than Baby Yoda's, they both kinda came out of no where which I'm fine with because Star Wars, but at least Baby Yoda's didn't imply that Force Healing was extremely easy
