This post may contain heavy Spoilers for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
A day or so ago, the script for Colin Trevorrow's version of Episode 9 was leaked on the subreddit r/StarWarsLeaks (imagine that, leaks on a leaks forum). There are a lot of differences between the Trevorrow script and the Abrams film we ended up receiving in theaters.
Notable differences include:
- Kylo Ren is not redeemed
- Rey is not a Palpatine and doesn't take the Skywalker name
- Coruscant features
- The First Order actually has something to do beyond look spooky
- The plot is actually coherent
- Rey makes her own lightsaber to start and doesn't magically repair the broken one
- Darth Plageus[?] teaches Kylo Ren and resembles some sort of cthulhu monster
- The Sith Wayfinder MacGuffin is replaced by an established bit of SW lore and works narratively better than the map
It is important to note that scripts can change quite drastically during production and rewrites, so some possible kinks here could easily have been ironed out.
So while we should take this with a grain of salt, this does look to be a much more cohesive narrative than the backpedaling we ended up getting in TROS.

In what amounts to the most shocking twist in Star Wars history, Colin Trevorrow’s script for Episode IX was better than the version J.J. Abrams gave us—on paper, at least. A breakdown of the script, co-written by Trevorrow and Derek Connolly, appeared on Reddit overnight at r/StarWarsLeaks...
