You clearly want any legendary/significant items in your possession. Even if they're dangerous or you don't really intend to use them. Frodo had the right idea, after all.
And Gollum too, for that matter.

Hanging on to the laser sword; possibly a good idea for vague prophecy/destiny reasons. Getting a blaster to use as well; definitely a good idea for survival reasons. Maybe Finn can get some tips from Rey on how to use it properly later? Assuming Finn actually does a proper heel-face turn and decides to not be a spy for the First Order any longer after this whole bar attack and the bad name they gave Gil of course.
Hmmmm. Maybe this'll be the return of Poe somehow? Jim hasn't been that good at keeping quiet about a new character when they're not immediately introduced, Lovas not withstanding. Plus, Zeppo is a horrible name for long-term survivability in the meta-sense. If it is Poe though, I'm going to want a big explanation of how the heck he got here (though he's totally not dead still) and how he got around the brainwashing to attack the First Order. Maybe it'll be Wedge the Shapeshifter? I don't think we've had a return appearance for him yet, though that doesn't help with trying to guess who the in-movie character being referred to here actually is.
