btw, i& #39;m madder at jj about finn than i am at rian. especially because apparently he had the energy to totally rewrite rey& #39;s backstory and retcon her entire arc and shove in pettiness at tlj like the "weapon of a jedi" dig but "actual arc for finn" was beyond him

like, how do you write an entire subplot for finn where he& #39;s about to confess his force-sensitivity to rey, which you confirm in interviews, but never have him actually get to confess it or confirm it another way in the movie. like they didn& #39;t even bother to conclude that thread

retconning tlj in other major ways demonstrated that what tlj did with the characters wasn& #39;t holding jj back on anything, and "honoring tlj" wasn& #39;t the reason finn& #39;s arc turned out the way it did in tros. and jj did retcon finn& #39;s romantic subplot from tlj too by writing out rose

so he could& #39;ve continued the stormtrooper rebellion idea, or he could& #39;ve even retconned in a jedi finn idea, but instead he did nothing and according to naomi& #39;s interviews even cut out most of the new romance he wrote for finn with jannah
