Honestly, there's SO much happening in the film that it's easy to miss little nuggets such as this one, which is why I liked the movie SO much better during the second viewing.

Yeah, there is a lot going on and doing so pretty quickly. Had I caught that bit about his family I still would have thought the delivery of the line awkward but, I certainly wouldn’t have questioned my initial thought about a family tie.

I’m definitely going to have to watch it again.

Just to clarify, he didn't mention it when meeting Jannah; he mentioned it earlier in the film and IIRC (which I'm probably not), it was just after meeting Poe & Finn.

So basically, it was a setup that paid off later.

I knew it wasn’t right there at the end. I’m guessing it was when they were all in that “tank”. But I’m just not recalling it. I was probably distracted by the annoyance of the Poe and Finn characters (maybe it was the writing maybe it was the actors, or even both but, whatever it was I’ve never cared for them).

I didn't like Finn in this movie, at all.

I don't know if it was because of JJ's direction or if Boyega felt that since his character was Force-Sensitive, he needed to be more "serious", but his "charm" in TFA, the only thing that even made his character even remotely worthwhile, IMO, was gone.

He seemed stiff and wooden. Unfortunately, Oscar Isaac came off similarly, IMO, outside the scenes with Zorri Bliss, who was another under-utilized character (but not as badly under-utilized as Maz Kanata).
