SPECULATION What weapon will Finn wield?

I hope Finn gets his own lightsaber in episode 8.
If Luke is more powerful than all the knights of Ren combine plus Snoke, Tell me why he couldn't save his students? Tell me why he didn't stop the knights of Ren? What is your theory?

 

I hope so as well, it will finally allow those without the force to finally use the lightsaber with that expectancy.

 

I think Luke weren’t around at the time of the attack. That’s why he couldn’t do anything and he blames himself so much he goes into exile.

I think the hierarchy of the knights of ren is like this:
Snoke (God)
Kylo Ren (Jesus) because he is force sensitive.
Other knights of ren (deciples) not force sensitive

So the other knights aren’t force sensitive. And Snoke isn’t that all mighty as God but that’s what he want the knights of ren to think.

That’s why I don’t think they dare to take on Luke. Perhaps if Snoke is around they would. But in my earlier post I meant Kylo Ren and the other knights, not including Snoke.

 

Everyone in the SW universe has a blaster of some kind but some how Finn will be special/different since he has one too in episode 7. I guess we will never get a new Jedi order in the new SW films since the Lightsaber capacity is low.

I heard everyone in the Knights of Ren is force sensitive. Snoke said to Kylo he is his best student meaning there is more than one force sensitive member in the group. The reason why I think Finn will continue using the lightsaber because Luke and Rey will need help to defeat the Knights of Ren. That's just my opinion but thank you for your input and your opinion but let's get back on topic lol

 

I could imagine a scene where Finn has a LIGHTSABER and infiltrates a training academy for The FO and takes them all down a notch in their training .

 

he will wield a wheelchair.

 

Finn didn't save Rey because he didn't stop the threat. He merely kept Kylo Ren busy. When he lost the fight, Rey had to step in to save him. Finn showed bravery, but he wasn't allowed to be victorious.

This is why I'm saying Disney's marketing used him as a red herring for Rey. Finn was never established to be trained with the lightsaber, so he had no business wielding it. They never would've done this mess to Han Solo.

 

When did Finn save Rey several times? The only time I can think of was during the air strike on Jakku, but even then Finn wasn't allowed to look heroic. Instead, TFA had him get knocked out, which then required Rey to save him by waking him up so they could keep moving.

 

Finn technically saved Rey from the TIE strike, but TFA went out of its way not to have him look heroic here. That's why it knocked him out and made him look silly by asking Rey if she was okay when he was clearly in worse shape. Also, Rey needed to save Finn here by waking him up so they could keep moving.

Finn didn't save Rey from the chase because she wasn't in a position of helplessness, like when Obi-Wan needed to save Luke from the sand people or when Leia was trapped in her cell until Luke freed her. If Rey can contribute to her own rescue (running, piloting the Falcon, etc.), then she's not being saved. She's working with Finn, or whomever, as a team player.

Finn didn't save Rey from Starkiller Base because she had already freed herself, gotten a gun and was roaming about freely. Compare this to Leia being stuck in her cell UNTIL Luke opened the door. Finn was allowed to HELP Rey by providing the lightsaber and Falcon, but he wasn't allowed to save her.

Finn didn't save Rey from Kylo Ren during their lightsaber fight because he didn't stop the threat. In fact, Finn ended up needing Rey to save him. What Finn actually did was have a brave moment keeping Kylo Ren busy.

Rey was allowed to save Finn in a traditional, heroic manner on several occasions, but TFA wouldn't give Finn the same level of respect. That's my point. They called Finn a co-lead, but he feels more like Rey's bumbling, comic relief sidekick. He's allowed to HELP her, but he's not allowed to ever look good at her expense, which is unfortunate because it means these characters are imbalanced.

 

Lightsaber. Blue.

 

Seeing as he is doing more sword training, I have to go with lightsaber on this one. For the sake of canon, I have to go with a green lightsaber to be the most likely candidate for Finn. Could it be orange, purple, or some other color? It's possible. The fact it seems he is continuing kendo can rule out a double saber most likely and it can also rule out staffs. However, this is just assuming from his clothing and nothing else. He could just be doing fitness training and this was a photo op to make us think that Boyega is training for swordfighting when he is really just doing some crossfit stuff to prepare for more physical endurance for the next film. More running... More breathing... By Episode IX his breathing will be normal.

 

What do you mean by "melee" ?

 

I literally had no idea ...

 

Apparently we were wrong -> http://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2016...n-boyega-training-for-more-swordfighting.html

I'm not sure that I like this however. I would really prefer Finn not to be FS and to follow the "resistance leader/general" path rather than the jedi path. We will see...

 

This could literally mean that he fights with a FO baton riot gear, he gets back Luke/Anakin's Blue Saber Somehow, and/or he simply is shown utilizing his own skills in a flashback or so .

 

Yes, or maybe an electrosaber battle with Captain Phasma as she would certainly have revenge on him... we'll see.
