Main Finn/John Boyega Episode IX Thread

What relationsship has the longest staying power Finn-Poe or Finn-Rose? What's going to last?

John Boyega: Finn- Poe!

 

JJ: "Fun isn't something one considers when balancing the universe, but this sure puts a smile on my face."

 

John Boyega: "[Finn does] a lot of fighting, a lot of fighting, supporting Rey, definitely more establishment about his past and why he is/was a part of the First Order. A lot of secrets to be revealed." (August 24, 2019)

 

I think John will get his own story and answers he was looking for Finn. Why he left the first order , is his character force sensitive or not. Why is his character so connected to Rey. Why was he able to face off with Kylo.

 

I don’t believe every Star Wars character has to fall into an archetype but I do wanna see Finn show case the skills that make him unique like in the novel his first class scores as a soldier and leader, and I definitely in some capacity want him to get a rematch with Kylo their chemistry as foes was too good

 

Would be cool to see Finn about to do something difficult and all the sudden hear Luke Skywalker whisper to him to use the Force and he does.

Love to see Luke’s role reflect that of his Master and to see Finn realize he too can Use The Force. I really doubt we will see this cause Rey but would be exciting surprise.

Agreed! I'm still hoping for a last minute Finn is Force Sensitive reveal, but it may only exist in my dreams...

 

That would be pretty interesting.

 

Would be cool to see but I just don’t see it happening. At this stage there are not any signs pointing towards it.

 

I'm not opposed to it but there is a logistical problem as to how he would specifically hear Luke having never met him

 

I highly doubt that, Finn has no connecting to Luke and never meet him, RJ made sure when Luke walked into the base on Crait Finn was not there lol. Anything about Finn using the Force I doubt we see it in this last movie.

 

I think the door was left open for our central 4 characters to be force sensitive. We know Rey and Kylo are force users. Poe very well may be force sensitive considering his incredible piloting abilities and childhood on Yavin IV alongside Luke's force tree. There was also a lot of possible misdirection before TFA that had Finn holding the lightsaber and visually looking like the next hero alongside Rey. He even wielded Anakin's lightsaber twice without getting killed. The force may have awakened in more than just one person to begin the trilogy.

Spoiler

We will learn a lot more about Finn especially if we are about to meet his long lost sister according to some rumors that are out there.

 

If it is more than pure speculation please use spoiler tags.

 

Thought that had already been discussed ad nauseam on these boards and strongly hinted at in the big photo release over the summer

 

If it is only discussed and speculated about, I'm fine, but if there are more or less valid rumors/leaks, I would prefer spoiler tags. And as I try to stay a way from spoilers, I don't know (and don't want to either). In the way I read it, it seemed to me that it was a somewhat valid rumor, therefore my reply (and my request to the mods to add spoiler tags, as the time to be able to edit was over).

 

True but he saw him (his image at least) face off vs Kylo Ren

Responding without spoiling and I cannot remember how to use the darn tags also I don't believe that rumor will be true.

 

Works for me

 

I agree, I think most speculation points against it
