I also recall an interesting thing from the leaks before TROS came out. Originally, Lando was going to say that he had a child (unspecified gender) that the First Order took from him. The original indication of this was going to be that Finn thought HE was Lando’s child, only to find out that it was in fact Jannah.
Once again, you don’t have to implement this, either. Just thought I would share what was thought about in production of the product.
I’m personally not a fan of that; it doesn’t really add anything meaningful to either Finn’s arc or Lando’s, it would be immediately cleared up by Lando providing information that it would actually be sort of weird for him to avoid including to begin with, and it skirts a bit uncomfortably close to the old “all black people are related” trope.
My current plan with Lando and Jannah is for Lando to have no idea whether she’s his missing daughter or just somebody completely unrelated to him, and that’s completely the point; all the ex-stormtroopers are someone’s kid that was stolen from them, and they’re going to figure it all out together as best they can. I feel like that ties into the “found family” themes which run throughout the ST pretty strongly.
I’m by no means an expert on all the behind-the-scenes stuff of the movie, so I do always appreciate this kind of information. It’s always interesting, and makes me think about the story in new ways, and often there are nuggets of gold in there.
