7. Only One Notable Spoiler Had To Be Taken Out

I asked Goring how much LucasFilm took out of the game, or how wary he had to be of including anything too risque in the game, and I was somewhat surprised to hear that LucasFilm didn't really insist on anything. Freedom was always in his hands, and as the writer himself admits, he occasionally adds gags in that he knows beforehand will be taken out for inappropriateness. Such is the wont of the writer, after all.

He also said in story terms there was only one thing that really had to be taken out for spoiler reasons as it related too heavily to an existing relationship between characters. Pressed on whether he meant from beyond the limits of The Force Awakens, Goring suggested not sadly.

So if you're looking for any hints here (even from the new material) that might explain Rey's familial ties or who Finn really is, you'll be disappointed. The sanctity of story exists even with those who reframe it mischievously.
