I’ve been rereading the DOTF Trevorrow screenplay, thinking there might be some good Leia content in it that I could work in. But the two different stories don’t gel together; everyone’s character arcs and motivations are too different, and it doesn’t match up in any useful way.

Except for Finn.

There’s already a bunch of really good Finn content I’m going to use, because his goals and motivation actually kind of work towards the same thing - in DOTF it’s leading a stormtrooper uprising, but everything which sets that up actually translates pretty seamlessly to setting up his interactions with Jannah instead.

I’m excited about this. Finn is a character who got severely shortchanged by TROS, and anything to flesh out his pretty barebones arc is really useful. There’s something good to be made out of it; it’s just going to take a bit of polish.
