Official Finn Episode VIII thread

Makes me sick

 

not the premiere, tomorrow is national release date day. I'll go at the 2pm show. For sure, since I'm at the bottom pit right now. I can only be pleasantly surprised now.

 

I can’t wait to see what’s ppl say about Finn after this film is released

 

Looks like the last jedi really is full of big twists.......like the twist in Finns role, it is nothing

Only this time Finns fans will have no ammo

All the hate Finn got about TFA pre conditioned me into having low expectations about his future

 

If only it was halfway close to how Finn fans feel, it definitely isn’t.....they are spoiled

Probably a literal carrot

"Slice this part (and, in fact, a lot of what Finn and Rose do) out of the story, and the end result of the film wouldn’t be all that different."

The plot line with ALL the minorities.

 

Not too big I hope, it not gonna be comfortable when I'll sit.

 

Apparently rose gets more screen time then Finn from a non spoiler review I checked, and yeah Finns the comic relief........unnnnnnnnnbelievable

 

You're a better man than me

Spoiler

a whole trilogy basically focused around a twilight romance? That's my limit. Bloody demographic game.

haha, that's the spirit.

 

I hope the "leaks" and "spoilers" are fake but since my expectations are almost non-existent at this point I'm waiting for the usual suspects to come back and try telling everyone that they're wrong for wanting something different from what we're allegedly being given.

 

Really?

 

Lots of ppl told me “have faith in Rian Johnson, he will do Finn justice!!”....the only thing I should’ve had faith for was him having an unexpected death during filming lol. Why do I feel like ANY other director would have done more with Finn? Lol wtf, I can’t grasp the disappointment....I just can’t....yo that’s some sad ass shyt, it makes no sense at all for the direction Finn went, and even ppl who saw the film said the same, I mean they could have let him find the force during his journey (even if not full blown) so by the time he and Rey meet again the both find out each one of them can use the force

Ok smh

 

“Finn is much more serious in the last jedi”........yeah, much more serious about making us laugh our pants off as the comic relief

 

No he a big joke ! He is the comic relief are you reading the post and reviews and leaks people are posting here. I clip from Vainty Fair about Finn rose and Canto Bight it a joke he the humor of the move:

It’s fitting, actually, that if there’s any excess to be trimmed from The Last Jedi, it would come from the plotline involving the über-rich and fabulous denizens of a high-class casino. Slice this part (and, in fact, a lot of what Finn and Rose do) out of the story, and the end result of the film wouldn’t be all that different. Impact on plot isn’t, of course, the only reason for scenes to exist; this is certainly what we should say to those who think Raiders of the Lost Ark didn’t really need Indiana Jones. But there also seems to be a lack of emotional growth in the Canto Bight plot. A lot of characters go on inner journeys in The Last Jedi and come out the other side changed in some way. Finn, I’m pretty sure, is not one of them.


But Rian Johnson and the rest of the powers that be at Lucasfilm were also in a tight spot here. In 2015 when The Force Awakens debuted and nothing was known about John Boyega’s stormtrooper, there was an assumption that he might be the front-and-center hero of the Star Wars franchise’s next generation. He was the one clutching the lightsaber in the trailers and on the poster. This, it turns out, was a bait and switch hiding the real hero: at this point, it’s impossible to deny that the light and dark swirl between Rey and Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren is the driving story of this Star Wars trilogy.

While a female hero like Rey may excite fans who have long been waiting for a woman to take on the role of lead hero in this franchise, Finn being pushed to the sidelines has been a source of frustration for others. In a 2015 piece for IndieWire, Andre Seewood wrote that what happens to Finn in the final battle of The Force Awakens (he’s knocked unconscious while Rey fends off Kylo) is “hyper-tokenism.” Why promise audiences a black hero only to take him out of the running when it really matters? Now imagine if Finn had been given even less to do in The Last Jedi.Imagine if that Force Awakens concussion became a full-blown coma.

 

Ohhhhh mannn
