Episode IX: Spoilers and Rumors

@nickandora
Rian was clear in explaining his choices (however we might judge them) about introducing new characters - they were there to act as foils for our heroes, to serve their character arcs and development. So Finn got Rose and DJ, while Poe had Holdo and Leia (Rey had Luke and Kylo).

Similarly, it would make sense to introduce Jannah for additional development of Finn, who still needs his story to be improved and rounded. Lando? He could be there either to strengthen the Resistance, or to serve Kylo's arc as Han's (and Leia's, due to Carrie's death) substitute. To connect Lando and Jannah seems unnecessary and too crowded story-wise, I agree.

JJ mentioned in a recent french interview that one of the things that makes SW cool for him is the love stories....




Come on JJ, keep that sentimental streak going for TROS

@Saracene

ahaha just like this
