The young Leia footage came from dailies from Return of the Jedi.

So Rian mentioned in the commentary that he smashed the helmet himself. During his first try it broke into a few large pieces. Then he smashed it some more.
Now we are to believe Kylo liked his helmet so much that he went back to that elevator on a ship that was split in half and got all the little pieces and saved them?

I’ve only seen it once but IIRC her outfit was a bit like the one from Endor, wasn’t it?
Skywalkers are notoriously pedantic and weird, so yeah, I can buy that he pieced together his own broken helmet and repaired it. If the helmet was a symbol of what he felt gave him identity after he left his family and disavowed the light in favor of becoming Snoke's apprentice then I can see why he'd be so attached to it. It represented the new him that emerged from the pain he felt at being Ben Solo.
It was part of what made him Kylo Ren, somebody who was (allegedly) the master of his own emotions and destiny and a Dark Side wielder who was going to finally bring order to the galaxy. His personal identification marker.

Yes. Because he is insecurely attached.
Makes perfect sense from a psychological point of view.
LUKE SKYWALKER (aghast): "From a psychological point of view?"
Oh spot on! I felt this about Finn since TLJ. He's potentially the most interesting of the new characters, but he's just pissed away. Many more interesting stores could have been told about these people if they - and this is key - actually bothered to plan this trilogy.
Really, this is the first Star Wars movie ever that I have ZERO interest in seeing in the theater a second time. Well done, Dis.
One of the biggest problems with The Last Jedi is that Rian Johnson made Rey, Finn and Poe all less interesting characters. JJ didn't seem to do him much good in The Rise of Skywalker, with him yelling "REYYYYYY!!!!" and worrying about her constantly. His storyline with Jannah, delving into their mutual First Order past was definitely the most interesting aspect of his character in ROTS.

Kylo is a fucking emo bitch mess. A complete emotional catastrophe. Of course he would.
He probably went back to pick it up immediately after the scene, before he flew off to attack the Resistance cruiser. He felt bad about leaving such a mess. Or maybe Snoke told him there'd be no flying until he cleaned up after himself.
That article makes it sound as though it's literally just old footage, which isn't the case. Billie Lourd played Leia in the TROS scene, and Carrie's face was then recreated by ILM using the ROTJ dailies.

And she looks just fine in that sequence. Certainly no worse than her Rogue One appearance and that one was actually pretty eerie and uncanny, arguably closer to the real Carrie than the CGI Tarkin was to the late Peter Cushing.
Rian deliberately hung on the shot of him leaving it there
And?
Some how that means he wouldn't collect it again when he becomes more conflicted? Kylo is demonstrated repeatedly to be completely emotionally unstable. Yes, I would believe he would go back and get it.
First, it was a joke. Second, we see Kylo storm off and the mask is sitting there. Next time we see Kylo he's flying his tie fighter. Anything could have happened in between.
Alternatively, everyone in the First Order knows he has an unpredictable temper. Perhaps the unspoken rule is: if Kylo Ren smashes something, keep it -- because you know he'll want it back later.
sure that could have happened.. but that is definitely not the message the scene is meant to convey.. it's only retconning for the sake of it. The filmmaker is sending messages with every shot in the film they put in, and even MORE messages with every two shots put together (Kuleshov Effect) and so inserting the retcon only destroys whatever vision is established for us on screen.
Since I don't agree that the shot is meant to convey that I don't see the issue.
Because he was conflicted.
Did Billie Lourd play her in Rogue One also?
I found the TROS version to be very similar to it. Face seems a bit too young and slim. It's not a big thing but I did feel they looked younger than they did in ROTJ.
