I agree about research etc. Although I personally knew it didn't happen on Takodana, I did not know the planet the Resistance was on. I figured out through other fics........and even then I was like "???was this mentioned in the movie???"
I'm so bad with planet names. I knew Jakku. I called the other planets Maz's planet and the Resistance planet. While I knew Finn and Poe reunited on the resistance planet I could totally see mixing up the planets names if I saw the wrong one in a different fanfic.
OP - it probably was a Vader/Luke situation where maybe one or two remembered it wrong and wrote it and then other people who didn't remember it well just started to remember it like that. There was so much happening in that scene is not hard to get why, plus Han and Leia do reunite so it's also like people confused both reunions.
