@@stuffedcinema7374 thing is, Finn was actually meant to be force sensitive, and is even shown to be to a degree in TROS. Unfortunately, this wasn't established sooner and was never mentioned because reasons.

[@anxivty]

an NB not-quite-french fry he showed so much potential in TFA and they fucked him over in TLJ

[@-Zikade-]

Indeed. IMO, Finn's character premise was extremely interesting but they completely destroyed his potential and gave all the spotlight to a good little Mary Sue instead. Such a shame. Rey is like the least interesting character. Finn or Kylo Ren would have been better protagonists because there's some actual struggles and character growth + potential to offer a different point of view to the Star Wars universe.

[@DisasterEnby]

@@anxivty exactly. Finn had a very clearly set path in TFA, and was arguably meant to end up with Poe. Then Rian Johnson stepped in and made a variety of loosely connected skits, put them together, and released it as a Star Wars film. At least Taika Waititi's making a SW film now - he won't intentionally seek to make the film controversial and somehow anger the entire fanbase, like what happened with TLJ.

[@robingronwald7993]

The cast was never the problem, Ridley, Boyega and Isaac were all charismatic, charming and memorable in their roles.

The idea of Finn leading a storm trooper rebellion was one of the most exciting plots I heard and it’s such a massive waste of an opportunity.

[@katonnor]

Yeah he leaves the first order and blasts stormtroopers excitedly with the resistance "Woo DID YOU SEE THAT?" It would have been cool to see him think of the stormtroopers as good people that are just fighting for the wrong cause instead of just killing them without a second thought

[@liamdalemon1525]

you know a Stormtrooper rebellion would have made more sense if you worked it into the finalie of Episode IX. instead of launching a ground invasion on a Star Destroyer because you wanted to blow it up (which is really stupid) they launched the invasion to try to capture the primary command ship. they would take over the bridge and then Finn would use the final order's radios to contact all of the Sith troopers. Finn would then give a speech that would go something like "my name is Finn... although I was once known as FN-2187. I was once a trooper like you... I was raised to only kill and serve a corrupt military. I deserted because I saw what I was, what everyone around me was... and I knew I wouldn't kill for them. you all still have a choice! don't let yourselves be ordered by those around you, look for a greater purpose! there is a galaxy out there of people who you only work towards destroying... join us if you seek the greater good" and his speech would be followed with hesitation from a lot of troopers before some troopers would turn on their armies which would give a satisfying conclusion to Finn's character arc

[@pranavnnair5]

@@liamdalemon1525 Damn! That would have been epic. Reminds me of Cap's speech in the Winter Soldier.

[@chamoo232]

@@liamdalemon1525 I think the beginning of the stormtrooper rebellion should have started in Ep8. After Finn defeats Phasma he talks to the stormtrooper army on board and gets them to see the light and they all go back to the bunker on the planet and THEY become the backup that the resistance desperately needed. Instead we got that flight of old ships and Finn trying to sacrifice himself to stop the cannon from blasting the door and Jar Jar 2.0 stopping him because she doesn't believe in noble sacrifice? Girl you just killed everyone in the bunker save Finn. You lucky that some spirit Hobo that look like Luke showed up to save your asses.

[@anoon-]

Or him slowly learning to overcome his xenophobic, propaganda riddled militaristic upbringing. Maybe see him being an elite soldier for the resistance, see him spare many first order troopers because he understands they are actually good people. Maybe him getting his revenge on the first order leaders and perhaps him leading a rebellion. Instead we got basically nothing.

[@hasnoname3781]

My favorite quote from John is “they could fly since the clone wars”. Goes to show how horrible the writers were.

[@hyperion3145]

Even then, we could see Boba Fett flying in the OG trilogy. It's not even a background thing, his jetpack is part of his costume and silhouette.

[@ryon5174]

@@hyperion3145I’m guessing that the line was uttered since it was the first on-screen time where First Order troopers were seen fucking around in jetpacks - and these characters that utter the line weren’t even born when the clone wars was a thing (C3P0 being the sole exception) But then again, Finn shouldn’t even be surprised since he was once part of the Order, and I’m certain a lot of in-between media like books and novels have shown the soldiers using jetpacks already

[@rprince418]

​@ryon5174 that's how I took it as well, that it was the first time since the Empire that flying troopers were seen (which is odd in and of itself), but they could have worded it differently.

Han should have stayed with Leia. It's literally his arc. Luke shouldn't have lost all his students and have at least a couple of them tending to him and what remains of the temple. Nothing wrong with Leia being a princess and she should wear the title proudly out of love for her stepfamily and her heroic birth mother. The New Republic should start in a position of strength. They're the ruling order now. The hammer against the First Order should be the new republic's armed forces with access to all the empire's resources. The Imperial Remnant/First Order should be the ones adopting rebel tactics to survive and make up for their weakness and to gradually inch their way into a more favorable position. Its leaders should be guerillas like Guevara or terrorists like Bin Laden, while the Republic is the one with the generals and the admirals.

You can literally watch the first half or so of TFA, and see so much more personality coming from Boyega than we see almost anywhere else in the trilogy.

I don’t understand the way people talk about these actors and these characters like we’ll never see them again. This is Star Wars we’re talking about. Daisy Ridley and John Boyega are going to be apart of Star Wars for decades. Hell they got Harrison Ford back like 3 times and he HATED it. People have been bugging Ewan Mcgregor about SW for 20 years now. Ian McDermott still shows up to cons. These actors (or at least their characters) will probably show up all over Star Wars media until the sun explodes.

@@clashsmchitcle7291 if that was true, then Rey would’ve been a better character. And she wasn’t. If Disney was trying to be diverse and inclusive, they FAILED. Had they suceeded, both Finn and Rey would be much more interesting characters than they were. The final result just shows how lazy filmmakers are when their main chatacters are women or people of color. They think being black or being a woman is in itself a character. It takes more than that to be compelling.

[@maxii6254]

I still remember being hyped up about the sequel trilogy. I was gravitating heavily towards Finn just because of how Boyega portrayed that disillusioned Stormtrooper realizing what he's doing and acting on it. Sad to see they never really explored that further, much less even bothered to give him even some degree of respect as a character

Same. I wanted to know more about the stormtroopers and then... I don't even know what he did and what was the point of him

[@theS0UND_1]

*Finn:* Starts out as a defected stormtrooper trying to escape the FO, believing they cannot be defeated. Wants to abandon the mission and run away until Rey is kidnapped. Lies to get to Starkiller Base only intending to save Rey and gets cut down trying to protect her. After recovering, immediately tries to abandon the fight again to save himself and keep Rey safe, still believing the FO are undefeatable. Meets Rose who convinces him to conspire with Poe on a mission to sabotage the FO. Meets DJ who encourages him that the fight is pointless and he should only worry about himself. Is ultimately inspired by DJ's apathy and betrayal to truly believe in the fight and become real rebel scum. **Changes from a selfish defector in TFA to a selfless hero in TLJ, willing to sacrifice his life for the cause.** Oh yeah what a massacre.

[@theS0UND_1]

@Soldier For Christ So you clearly didn't read my comment? Lol Finn very much has a character arc in TFA and TLJ. Especially TLJ. It's TROS that reduces him back down to running around screaming for Rey. And no, Mandalorian isn't the only good thing from recent SW. It's good, but it's already starting to run into "too fanservicey" territory. TLJ is the best of recent SW and the best of the films since RotJ.

One of the most unique characters to come from that world.

Abrams has nice ideas and is absolutely unable to dive in deep, he's a shallow screenwriter. Granted, Johnson is just the uninvited kid stealing the toys.

Even in The Force Awakens, he was slowly being written into the background to serve as Rey's sidekick. The original TFA script even killed Finn off entirely. The whole trilogy would have been SO much better if Finn had been the main character: a Stormtrooper becoming Force-sensitive and going on the run (possibly from one of the remaining fragments of the Empire, organically exploring the slowly-rebuilding/expanding Republic) to figure out what is happening to him?
