Official Finn Episode VIII thread

We need some good action scenes. Something that's memorable, and I think Boyega is the only one that can do it. Boyega has more emotional range than Daisy, so if I were them I would make sure to put my weight when it comes to the action on him. He is more the ordinary Joe in this trilogy. Maybe it's me, but I believe he is going to be the character the audience most roots for.

 

Perhaps we'll get to see Finn fighting alongside with Kylo Ren against the KOR - IMO this would actually make sense in the light of information that the Knights of Ren were rumored to be not FS.

 

He's fighting alongside with Kylo but he's not trusting him fully, so he has to keep an eye on him which may become very dangerous. Or Finn actually saves Kylo from a deadly strike and dies for him. So many possibilities...

 

No more of this teaming up crap. We need some hate in this trilogy. It looked like we was going to have that between Kylo and Finn when looking back at TFA. Kylo displayed more emotion towards Finn than any other character in this trilogy so far. JJ needs to bring back the hate. Only hatred can make the next movie interesting.

 

But SW was never about hate, but love and friendship! But I actually do think we will see a very hateful Kylo in the first act of EPIX.

 

This and

I'd say Ren displayed stronger emotion towards Rey. And speaking of hate- I think it's safe to say that Ren hates Luke more than he does hate FN-8127.

 

It's a good video, but you can say this for every character in this trilogy. None of them are necessary. The character who is the least necessary is Rey. I don't see this as her story. Regardless what others say. Lead characters have their own journeys. Rey has been connected to the stories of Finn and Kylo. They are more the story than Rey is. She works through them. When the only question you have for your lead is who is she attached to, she isn't the lead.

 

Yeah... I remember the training photos for TLJ too
And the posters for TFA...

...not falling for it. That pic is Boyega practicing for a scene where Finn tries to kick a Porg but he misses and falls in the mud and the audience laughs.

Too much?

Ok ok, it's probably Finn kicking an actual person. Since there doesn't seem to be an interest for having Finn being on equal combat footing with the other main leads I have to assume it's a FO hardliner. Probably some Yeoman that tries to hit the alert while Finn is another undercover mission for the Resistance.

 

He's training for a big combat scene against Hux. This is what we've been waiting for. Finn finally has a character he can beat in combat. I hear he's going to do two front flips instead of one like Luke did in ESB... It rhymes.

 

I think he means that this ST has no real villain/conflict. Thus we get all these theories where the heroes join forces with kylo for reasons. We already saw one of the main heroes team up with kylo to fight a bunch of faceless fodder. Why would we want that same tired trash? Especially for finn.

 

That's exactly what I was talking about. Who is the menace in this trilogy? After TFA came out there has been far too much talk about turning Kylo into a good guy. Whether it's through redemption or finding some kind of excuse in his past for the reason he is the way he is. Somebody has to step up and be the bad guy here.

 

Guys, this is simple. Finn will be the villain. No one will see that coming. What a great arc that would be for Finn.

 

He'll join forces with Hux and together they'll send out the KOR to kill Rey. Ben Solo will swoop in and save her and then we'll get another Ben and Rey battle royale team-up while Finn and Hux will cower in the corner until they're killed by Rose and Poe.

 

And I guarantee you there would be no shortage of people to tell you how outstanding the arc was, and if you didn't like it, it was just because you were predisposed to your own head canon LOL.

I'd seriously be in the movie like:

"Damn they just killed Finn without him ever having a marquee moment... but I guess if he's dead they can't send him on another mission to infiltrate the F.O."

 

The more I look at this clip the more I laugh. It makes so much sense.
Do you really think Finn would have gone back to the FO for anything after just recovering from having his back sliced? He goes back to SKB in TFA, and he goes to Snoke's ship in TLJ. Going in TFA was growth for his character arc. Doing the same thing in the next movie was a head scratcher. Maybe it's just my head canon, but the last place I would go is back to the people that almost killed me. I guess a lot of people would continue to go back to the organization that they just escaped from.

 

It's always been funny to me that people are so keen on having elements or aspects from one move "rhyme" with another and then somehow fail to see Finn basically dropping a 100 BAR freestyle with Funk Master Flex in TLJ.

But hey... at the end of it all, when he finally accepts the Resistance in his heart? What a rush. What an absolute thrill. A moment that will echo through time no doubt. I know that's what I've been waiting on all this time. The question keeping me up at night was, "Will Finn finally take that step... and say he is Resistance?" Not since LeBron Jame's "The Decision" has the fate of one choice so riveted America. I know I plan to stop using ABY as a date milestone and start using FAR (Finn Accepts Resistance). It's my new calibration point of measure. Battle of Crait was 34 ABY. Now it's 0 FAR. What a moment... what a SW moment.

 

Initially, they said he'll turn good and help rey fight snoke. Then TLJ happened, and so now we're seeing "he'll turn good and help rey fight the knights of ren." or even hux. I think it was a huge mistake to make the villain another crazy skywalker.

 

I been gone a while. I actually had never planned on returning. I see you guys, a lot of familiar names are still going strong. That's good to see.

Star Wars is kind of dead to me now. I haven't even watched TLJ. Just can't bring myself to do it. Nor have I watched Solo. For all those in here I vehemently debated and fussed with for not being pleased with Finn. I hereby eat my words.

Don't really plan on saying much else as I don't much feel like talking about the subject anymore these days. Just wanted to come in, make my peace, say the above and bow out.

 

Lol so any new news about finn doing anything of value or should i just wait for the next black panther showing?
