More interesting story line for VIII?
Rey training to be a jedi with Luke
or
Phasma going after Fin with Poe tagging along.
Rey training would be too much like empire. Er...sorry it would rhyme too precisely with empire.
Phasma needs to do something to justify her existence
Phasma hunting Finn on the run with Poe's help they escape an ice planet just as the FO is attacking....meanwhile Rey training with Luke her father perhaps on some swamp world.
Rey finds out Finn is in trouble and leaves training early (ala Luke) to help. She has a showdown with Phasma.
Phasma is about to kill Rey and Luke intervene's and nearly kills Phasma....until it is revealed that Phasma (helmet off) is Rey's mother taken by the FO and programmed/mind erased.
Luke helps her remember and they all escape aboard the MF narrowly with the FO on their heels to cloud city.....where Lando greets them but they are taken in custody, BB-8 is dismantled accidentally and Chewie is enraged.
Lando promises to help them but at the last second he flips the tables and turns them over to Kylo Ren. Finn is frozen in carbonite and given to Boba Fett to hold for ransom only Lando finds out Finn is his long lost son and frees Rey who has a showdown with Kylo Ren. In a reversal of fortune Rey cuts off one of Kyle Rens hands. Kylo flees and Rey vows to complete her training and hunt down whoever has Finn.
(just trying to resuse as much of ESB as i can ....like TFA reused ANH...but with a few wrinkles)
