^ I won’t be doing that. I think TFA reads perfectly reasonably with that (lack of) revelation in mind. Going by TFA alone, I think the logical conclusion is that she is, at the very least, not related to any of the other important characters. All Han would have told Maz is just that she joined up with them and is wanting to stay on Jakku because of her family.
I do feel that TLJ is deeply incongruous with TFA, but oddly enough the Rey thing isn’t really why.
I agree with you. Still though, the only line that I feel was a “we’re hiding something” was Maz asking who’s the girl and the movie cutting away before Han could “reveal” anything.
(But I loved the payoff so I wouldn’t cut any of the lines 😄)
