In the Art of Book it says that in previous versions of TROS, Finn encountered a sibling on a wreckage world.

In the early leaks Janna was meant to be Finns sister and it would have been later revealed that Lando was their father (evidently from the visual dictionary and novelisation)

Didn’t Boyega also talk about his backstory getting fleshed out in one of the interviews?

Janna being Finn’s sister explain so much and implementing it would make Finn’s role in the film feel less non-existent. It also ties the whole planet-hopping goose chase into a cohesive narrative rather than half a movie’s worth of filler. Each planet is about one of the main trio reconnecting with their past. Pasaana has Rey confronting her parentage, Kijimi has Poe confronting his past as spice runner, and Kef Bir has Finn confronting his forcefully broken family. It all makes sense now. Suddenly it feels like Abrams and Terrio weren’t completely pulling stuff out the blue and filming a first draft. The sibling dynamic removes the feeling of Jannah being Rose’s replacement too! We have to implement this!

Does John Boyega ever say “sister” in the films, or even in a similar voice in another film (or interview)? I have cleaned the audio in his scene with Jannah that we could frankenbite a line of dialogue to insert this idea.

I wonder if they cut it out of concern that making all three major (non-Mace Windu) black characters in the series related was… questionable.

It frustrated the hell out of me that they didn’t allow Finn to go full circle and to dress as Stormtrooper when they storm Kylos ship. I think they would’ve actually echoed ANH and actually worked with the storyline much better than everyone just walking around without triggering any alarm etc.

I didn’t know about the other Finn storyline. They would’ve been awful!

Ah, yes, what this movie needed, more hollow callbacks to the OT!

Wasn’t that already done in TLJ?

Not that I remember, He was in a generals uniform not a stormtrooper in TLJ? I just think that would have suited that story better rather than just walking straight in with barely an issue. Captain’s medallion was bad enough.

Imagine if they instead stole a First Order transport to sneak aboard the Star Destroyer… less contrivance and less mcguffins.

I just realized all 3 movies use the exact same plot point of sneaking aboard/escaping the big bad ship midway through.

Even Lucas didn’t reuse it that often.

Does anyone have the skill/time/desire to change the ship they take to the Star Destroyer? We could also repurpose and reuse a shot of everyone rounding a corner to be looking at a ship (from the scene where they meet Zorri) to help set up this idea.

I have good sound files and could help sell the idea, I’m just not good enough at VFX to make it happen. I could cut together scenes for it to help explain better if that would help.

Sounds intriguing. Is it for getting rid of the too-convenient First Order passport thing?

If some VFX wizard could actually manage to accomplish this, I wouldn’t have a problem with it, though it would be nice to have your mockup version of the idea with a placeholder shot playing the part of the new VFX shot

Yeah, that would be the goal. The less contrivances in the film, the better. I’ll do a mock up of the scene with the current footage to see if a VFX wizard wants to put in time/energy.

Maybe, but they failed to realize how much more sense it makes for Jannah to be Finn’s sister than for her to be Lando’s daughter. Seriously, what does the latter contribute to the story? We should cut the relation to Lando and make her Finn’s sister, not have both.

I can definitely agree with that on some level.

Has anyone tried replacing the Luke & Leia theme at the end with Lando’s theme? It would make more sense and I don’t think it appears anywhere else in the movie.

Which track is Lando’s theme?
