How to make Finn Force Sensitive?

Disney plans to make at least 5 more films (not including the anthologies). How many single Jedi in the galaxy chosen one passed to new single Jedi in the galaxy chosen one movies will they make over the next decade. It will get stale and potential at large (not us diehards) will lose interest. Opening up the Force to 'normal people' like Finn (and others) allow the writers to get really creative with Jedi/Force warriors with differing origins and views. We get our Kyle Katarns, Finn Galfridians, and a slew of interesting people and dynamics that don't fall into the dogma of the Jedi of old. Luke is the first of the new Jedi. Yoda was the last of the old.

 

I don't think turning a Knight of Ren (or 2) to the light would be as powerful to the audience as having a character we all know and care about able to help out another character in a time of need in a special way.

Finn is a soldier, he's trained to do that nearly from birth. Being simply a soldier for the duration of the ST adds nothing to him. There's no arch in his arc. That doesn't seem fitting as a co-lead to me. I also think the hints in TFA go beyond the Hosinan hint. It doesn't have to be glaringly obvious (like Force pulling a saber) to be a hint from the screenwriter. Think about the movie the 6th sense.... just tons of hints pointing to the death of the main character, most people just failed to accept them.

 

Rey: "You will believe you are Force Sensitive..."
Finn: "I will believe I am Force Sensitive..."

 

As a co-lead who has no family, no social contacts or skills outside of Stormtrooping (i.e. piloting) how would you like to see his arc move over the next two films?

 

One of the biggest questions being asked is whether Finn is Force sensitive.

Was that answered in the movie in a very subtle, yet obvious way?

When Finn is boarding the pirates ship as he was preparing to leave for the outer-rim from Takodana, just before the beam from SKB strikes the Hosnian system, he hears screams of terror. Then he looks up to the sky and sees the destruction of the far off world. Moments later we are sent to Hosnian Prime as the Chanceller and other government officials look at their coming doom in the sky, and we hear almost the same identical screams.

Was Finn hearing the screams of millions before they died like Obi-Wan did when the Death Star destroyed Alderaan?

 

Great catch! I hope FInn will be force-sensitive, but not a jedi. Something between a regular solider and a jedi.

 

But...its not a reflection of the reality--he is not force sensitive....And yet we are still talking about him as if he was.

 

It has yet to be determined if he's Force sensitive. There are many hints in 7 that make it a possibility. Saying he's not because of Ep 7 is similar watching A New Hope and saying Luke is not Vader's Son.

 

or saying leia will never be force sensitive. plus the trilogy is being written by 3 different writers, making it even less predictable.

 

Except it's not coincidence unless you operate under the assumption that the hints given in Force Awakens could not possibly be hints. I'm of the opinion that those are possible hints so in that case you don't need to come up with a story to explain his force sensitivity.

 

Please don't make him have the force! That role is already filled by Rey. Finn is a great character the way he is. He doesn't need the force.

 

Actually, I think he was hearing the gasps/sad cries of horrors around those who were nearby as they were witnessing the destruction of the nearby star systems.

Who knows... at least that's how I saw it anyway.

 

The Force isn't a role.

 

That was my first impression as well. But the cries and screams didn't seem right to me for some reason.

 

Maybe because this scene would make no sense if it was not a sound he heard from the sky.
Finn is upstairs ready to embark the ship. He is at least 6 feet above the ground.
And some people think his first reflex would have been to directly look at the sky above him if people below him started to scream?

But that doesn't mean they will choose to make him force-sensitive. But the scene is weird without a hint of force-sensivity to back it up.

 

Ok. A new idea for another pointless Finn thread - HOW TO MAKE FINN WHITE. No, HOW TO MAKE FINN TALL AND BLOND. nonono, HOW TO MAKE FINN A GIRL.not this. how about HOW TO MAKE FINN EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT HIM TO BE SO HE WOULDN'T DISAPPOINT US IN ANY WAY AND F$CK THE FILMMAKERS' IDEA TO SHOW A STAR WARS MOVIE FROM A PERSCPECTIVE OF JUST A STORMTROOPER? yeah, that one.
