Pablo Hidalo:
The first couple of points worth discussing here were actually brought up by Full Of Sith Podcast contributor Bryan Young on his Twitter page, where he noted that a number of story elements from both The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi were borrowed from Lucas's story treatments based on The Art Of… books for both The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. Young mentioned that many of the plot points for the character of Kylo Ren were already decided by Lucas: that he would betray his uncle, kill many of his fellow students, and ultimately murder his own father. Likewise, Rey would ultimately convince Luke to get out of his depression and do something about the war. The key difference is that both of these events would have happened in the same Episode VII – whereas in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, they're both late-movie plot points. Hidalgo added to Young's observations by noting that Kylo Ren's origin was actually intended to be explored in Episode VII instead of Episode VIII:
So the difference between The Force Awakens and Episode VIIas it was originally conceived was that the story would have coincided with Ben Solo's fall to the Dark Side. Instead, we're introduced to him being Snoke's apprentice for a few years:
tldr;
Rey is 80% George's creation. Female protagonist, scavenger, Jakku, finding Luke to become a Jedi, getting him out of his depression and doing something about the war came from him. Rey may or may not have been intended to be a Skywalker but it's uncertain. There doesn't seem to be strong implications that she was meant to be a Skywalker for episode VII.
Finn was originally called Sam/Skyler and the male lead. Kylo Ren was just referred to as the Son (of Solo) or the Jedi Killer. Sometimes Finn/Sam/Skyler was the Son and sometimes the Jedi Killer was the Son. They could've potentially both been the Sons at the same so there would've been 2 Solo sons.
Darth Talon morphed from being the Jedi Killer corrupting the Son(Finn) to becoming the Son(Kylo Ren).
Lucas' Episode VII would've started with TLJ.
Han was always intended to be killed by the Jedi Killer.
Kylo Ren's character pretty much followed Lucas' points: Betray Luke, kill many of his students and murder Han Solo.
Lucas' episode VII would've coincided with Ben Solo's fall to the darkside not have it as an established fact a few years already down the road.
Snoke was named Uber.
