I think maybe – just maybe – I’ve hit upon a solution to the Jakku thing…
- prologue depicting some post-OT events, training of new Jedi – including Rey (maybe even using shots of her on Endor from Ep9)
- Crawl with rise-of-First-Order explanation and both sides tracking down Force-users, leading to Jakku; crawl actually names Han, Chewie, Poe and Rey as being sent to Jakku as part of the hunt – but Poe separates and goes to a different part of Jakku
- Poe captured, teams up with Finn
- Rey acquires BB8 and Finn; they board the Falcon
- HAN AND CHEWIE are flying the Falcon, NOT Rey; could insert later TFA footage of Han and Chewie in the cockpit
Might this work???
