When a character has decided they need to sacrifice themselves to the greater good, there's only so much you can do. A fitting farewell speech is de rigueur.
Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)
Interesting repeat of the lines between the characters Sally is playing. I wonder if there's something to that. But it's also a good way to show how different Leia and Rey are. Especially when Rey is played by Pete who is actively looking to go evil to gain power.
Also interesting is that Snoke is rather blurry or pixelly here. That'd mean the camera was pulled back pretty far for the scene. That makes me think there's a lot more to the scene than we're getting here. And that there's something that's going to happen that keeps a good close-up from being available. Raddus crash really wrecks the room perhaps? Fire and/or smoke being shown would be a little too distracting for a talking scene like this after all.

Leia: The Resistance will remember your sacrifice. Perhaps by some miracle you shall escape too.
Admiral Holdo: Still that fiery spit of hope.
Admiral Holdo: Destiny has brought us to this point. It only remains to see what we do in the face of it.
Leia: Farewell, Admiral.
GM: Meanwhile on the Supremacy, what’s Snoke saying to Rey?
Snoke: Destiny has brought us to this point. It only remains to see what we do in the face of it.
Rey: Spare me the fortune cookie philosophy.
Snoke: You are impulsive. Dangerous. The Dark Side calls you. If you only believe in it when you can see it...
Rey: Oh, I believe in it and its calls. I’m just waiting for my unlimited data and power plan.
