The passing of objects took place in The Last Jedi, and seems to be something that only happened between Ren and Rey. I don't recall seeing anyone else do it, ever. Even the dice Luke passed Leia turned out to be as much an illusion as was Luke.
The transfer of power seemed more like Palpatine using the Ren and Rey as a conduit for the Force, and it seemed less like he stole their power and more like he used their three-way connection, and the fact that they are the three most powerful living beings Force-wise, to sort of heal himself using Force energy.
And honestly, it's a movie about a magic Force that gives people superpowers, so you either accept it or you don't. When Luke used The Force to magically make his light saber fly to his hand in Empire, we just accepted it with an "oh the Force can do that, too" attitude, as we did we each subsequent reveal of a new Force ability.

what objects were passed in the last jedi? what scene(s) was it? I don't recall that at the moment.
Good analysis though.

I recall that when Rey and Ren could see one another, I believe Rey was on the island and a wave crashed over her and Ren got splashed, and we saw either saw him suddenly doused, or water in his chambers afterwards. I may be incorrect, and will have to rewatch the scene(s) in question to be certain, but it is my recollection that there was a demonstrated physical connection between them, that allowed surrounding objects to move between their respective locations.

Moving objects with the force was established in the first movie. True that it's a "magic Force" but too many new powers manifesting too quickly makes them seem like deus ex machinas and tougher to accept. I think RoS overstepped in this regard.
