Before Colin Trevorrow and Lucasfilm parted ways over "creative differences," Star Wars Episode IX was titled Duel of the Fates, and the final battle was going to take place on Coruscant.
With the planet serving as the base of the First Order, Finn would have been responsible for rallying the people in a bid to finally overthrow the villains and restore freedom. We've seen concept art of that in the past (with Finn standing at the front leading the charge as he waves a flag), but a new piece has now been revealed offering a closer look at that moment.
As you can see, Rose is there alongside him, and Trevorrow's plan was clearly to give that character a much larger role in the proceedings. J.J. Abrams, on the other hand, sidelined the Resistance fighter.
This artwork feels particularly poignant right now following Boyega's recent speech at a Black Lives Matter protest, and that's more than likely why it's ended up finding its way online. We don't know whether Trevorrow will ever elaborate on why he parted ways with Lucasfilm, but most fans agree that his take on Episode IX did sound better after reading the leaked plot details.
