“First of all, Luke is not Rey's father. If you really can't let go of this, watch Episode VII again and pay attention. He is not revealed to be her father in Episode VIII, nor will he be in Episode IX.
The second, and more exciting one, is that Leia uses the Force in Episode VIII. It's unfortunately true that they've minimized her screen time by writing her out after an attack early on, but the really cool thing about the sequence is that Leia survives only because she uses the Force. That's all the detail you're getting, but it's a fact. This would seem to verify earlier plot leaks that suggested General Leia would have a reduced role in the plot of Star Wars: Episode 8 , with Laura Dern’s character largely supplanting Leia’s military role after she’s injured in an attack.
