The leading Star Wars insiders at Making Star Wars are going hard at the rumors and reports this week, and today's reveal is much bigger than the description of a planet. Possible MAJOR Spoilers ahead, specifically about Finn's role in the film.
The new report about Star Wars: The Last Jedi details a major sequence for Finn, recovered from his battle with Kylo Ren on Starkiller Base, and how he'll use his First Order training to benefit the Resistance. In the sequence, Finn wears a First Order officer's uniform, infiltrating a new First Order Super Star Destroyer. When he encounters a stormtrooper from his past (which they speculate is Tom Hardy's stormtrooper cameo), it's clear that knowledge of what happened to Starkiller Base and FN-2187's betrayal has not spread across the First Order as much as one might expect. Instead, the stormtrooper congratulates Finn on his promotion.
The infiltration sequence includes planting explosives along the Super Star Destroyer, over the red world described yesterday that's likely the First Order's primary base of operations. It's quite a guerrilla tactic - perhaps they've taken some cues from Rogue One in how to mount their resistance now that the New Republic is all but wiped out.

As for the Star Destroyer itself, this new First Order model is a huge, dark wedge with no outcroppings. Gone are the major command modules seen on the Empire's Star Destroyers, instead keeping it simple and stark. The standard Star Destroyer seen in Star Wars: The Force Awakens had a shorter top section, but also had a double-wedge upon it. No word in the description on whether this will be similar, looking almost as of one wedge is placed upon another.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi, from writer/director Rian Johnson, is in post-production now for a December 15, 2017 release.
