Well they’ve started shooting and people have already started to prepare Dubrovnik for a coming shoot there, so I don’t really see how there could be any serious script rewrites currently in the works.
The rumor came out last month so it’s possible seeing as how shooting just started 2 weeks ago.

Rewrites have definitely been happening, especially with the audience reaction to TFA informing what is/isn’t working in regards to the stories and characters. The question is simply how much has been rewritten, and whether that’s something to worry about. I’d say probably not too much and definitely not.
If so I hope that the rumor that the new character’s roles will be shrunk in favor of giving our new trio more screen time is true. I also hope that there are less parallels to the OT in Episode VIII. Training and Rey losing are pretty much all I want to be “rehashed” from ESB.
