    15 Reaons why Finn will be The Last Jedi

    In case there aren’t enough theories about Star Wars: The Last Jedi floating around the internet, here’s another one to add to the list. The title of this long-awaited film leads fans to assume that one of the current characters is going to be the so-called “final Jedi.”

    While most fans strongly believe its Rey, there’s plenty of evidence that it could actually be Finn instead. He has already been established as an important piece in The Resistance and he seems to be intrigued by the concept of The Force.

    Maybe Rey won’t be the only one that is taught the ways of the Jedi. Whether fans love this theory or hate it, it is a real possibility. However, Jedi or not, Finn is still a great addition to the Star Wars universe. In this article we will be looking at a few hints from Star Wars: The Force Awakens that many viewers may not have noticed, which prove that Finn may indeed be the final Jedi.

    Here are the 15 Reasons Why Finn IS the Last Jedi.

    15. HE WAS ABLE TO HOLD HIS OWN AGAINST KYLO WITHOUT TRAINING
    The scene in The Force Awakens where Finn takes on Kylo Ren is memorable to most fans, mostly because people are confused as to how Kylo Ren wasn’t able to kill Finn. It has been argued that the scene was simply ridiculous; an untrained man could never hold his own against someone trained with the ways of The Force.

    However, perhaps instead of possessing a seemingly impossible strength, or just bad writing, Finn is force-sensitive. Yes, Ren was injured, but it’s surprising that Finn survived the fight without being cut down immediately, or at least seriously wounded.

    The frustration is clear on Ren’s face– Finn should have been overpowered, but something gave him strength. The Force helps the Jedi predict the movements of their opponent, so it’s possible that Finn’s natural link to The Force guided him through their duel.Rey is a Skywalker, then, much like the Skywalkers before her, she was born with a natural inclination to The Force.

    Both Anakin and Luke toyed with the idea of succumbing to the Dark Side. Being related to Darth Vader would subject her to the same temptations that Ben Solo faced before becoming Kylo Ren.

    Even if she is not a Skywalker, the temptation of the Dark Side is there for any Jedi. She could attempt to redeem Kylo Ren and turn him to the Light Side, but ultimately succumb to the Dark Side and join the First Order.

    This would leave Finn, who is possibly Force-sensitive, to train with Luke and become the Last Jedi in order to defeat the First Order.lightsaber is the weapon of choice for a Jedi. Although a character doesn’t have to be force-sensitive to wield one– as exemplified by Han Solo in the original trilogy– the ability to fight with a lightsaber raises some interesting questions.

    Finn was able to hold his own against a trained Kylo Ren without any experience fighting with a lightsaber. It’s hard to believe he could even work the weapon without injuring himself.

    The writers could have easily given his character a blaster, but, instead, they specifically gave him a lightsaber. On top of this, the lightsaber was blue. This shows that he may have a connection with the Light Side that he unknowingly tapped into, which enabled him to use the weapon, even if he wasn’t the most graceful fighter.their relationship is romantic or platonic, it’s clear that something is bringing them together. Not long after they meet each other on Jakku, they end up running for their lives to escape the planet.

    They each impress the other with their skills on the Millennium Falcon, and to instantly trust someone that quickly seems to be fate.

    Obi Wan once said that the force “surrounds us.” It’s not impossible that the powers of The Force could be pushing Finn and Rey together for a reason. The audience is already aware that Rey is Force-sensitive and may be on the path to become a Jedi. Could Finn’s draw to Rey foreshadow his Force abilities as well?the vision she has when she touches Luke’s lightsaber, and refuses to take it from Maz.

    When she eventually takes the lightsaber to find Luke, it may be interpreted as Rey asking to be trained in the Jedi arts.

    However, it could also be a cry for help, where she’s asking him to take the burden of becoming a Jedi away from her. When she refuses to wield the lightsaber and accept her training, it falls to Finn. He’s already wielded it in battle and strongly believes the First Order must be defeated.

    Luke could then find him and train him to be the Last Jedi.Stormtrooper, he’s had little real world experience and little to no free will.

    For someone who is suddenly thrust into the world on his own, he sure is able to handle a lot. He was able to escape the First Order, attack enemy ships while flying with Poe, help Rey escape from Jakku on the Millennium Falcon, and fight with a lightsaber without training. The list goes on and on.

    In many of these situations it is probable that an average person would never make it out alive, so it cannot be mere a coincidence. The Force is guiding Finn on his journey throughout The Force Awakens.official teaser trailer for The Last Jedi, it is very likely that Luke will inevitably train Rey in the ways of The Force. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that she is the last Jedi ever. After becoming a Jedi, she could become Finn’s mentor and train him. This would mean that he would become another Jedi.

    Much like Obi Wan and Darth Vader in Star Wars: A New Hope, Rey could face off with Kylo Ren and lose. Her death would leave Finn alone as the Last Jedi.

    Alternatively, rather than being taught by Rey before her sudden death, Finn could also be a witness to her death, which spurs him to ask Luke to train him in order to gain revenge and defeat Kylo and the First Order.

    7. HE’S NATURALLY HEROIC AND BRAVE

    Much like Finn’s natural moral compass, he’s also instinctively heroic and brave. On the surface, he may look scared throughout the film, but his fear doesn’t stop him from continuing to fight. He wants to protect Rey (even if she’s fully capable on her own) because he knows that she is also good and kind.

    He’s often torn between his own self-interest (or survival instinct to stay live) and his ability to be a hero, but he always chooses to save the day.

    This goes hand-in-hand with his sense of good and justice. He fights for what he believes to be the right thing, even if it scares him. Finn knew he coudn’t win against Kylo Ren, but it didn’t keep him from trying. The Force could be a part of the strength that makes him hold his ground and fight, rather than flee.


    6. HE ALLIED WITH THE LIGHT SIDE


    Technically there are no official Jedi on the Light Side fighting the First Order in The Force Awakens, but Rey is clearly headed in this direction. As soon as Finn meets her, he immediately presents himself as an ally. It’s already been established that Finn hates the First Order.

    Rey uses The Force to battle Kylo Ren, but, in a way, so does Finn when he fights him with a blue lightsaber. The two of them are able to hold their own by allying with the Light Side against the Dark Side.

    Maz is able to sense the Light Side in Rey, and she also appears to see something special in Finn. Who’s to say that she isn’t sensing that he’s Force-sensitive as well? If she is, then it’s obvious that she saw the light in him, because she wasn’t afraid. Instead she wanted to help the two characters, which is a strong clue that they are both on The Light side.struggle Ren has within himself. He’s torn between the Light Side and the Dark Side. Finn was originally a Stormtrooper allied with The First Order, and his potential ties to the Force could cause Kylo to question this. Either way, this scene presented strong evidence that Finn carries a connection to the Force.the Jedi who fight for the Light Side. There aren’t many reasons why Finn could have such a strong moral compass as a Stormtrooper, and The Force is the most logical conclusion.visions or knowledge of the lightsaber, which means that he’s the one who sensed The Force first. lightsaber, Maz hands it to Finn.

    Is this so he can deliver it to Rey? On the surface, it seems likely. However, he ends up choosing to use it in battle, instead of using a blaster, which Maz encourages . Not only this, but he wields it decently.

    Maz must have sensed The Force in Finn and therefore knew that he would be able to control the lightsaber without any training. There was no conceivable reason why the filmmakers would include such an iconic, close up shot of Maz handing Finn the lightsaber if it wasn’t critical to the story.

    Finn has equal, if not more, interactions with the lightsaber than Rey, and this can’t just be a coincidence.



    Star Wars: The Last Jedi will arrive in theaters December 15, 2017.

    I don't think Finn will be the last Jedi, but I do hope he will be a Jedi along with Rey and Poe.

    "If Skywalker returns, the new Jedi will rise" not "a new Jedi", but "the new Jedi" i.e. plural.

    Finn was supposed to be in an elite stormtrooper unit, he will have been trained for combat. His reaction to the village massacre is much more than just being in his first battle - he was feeling the death around him.

    TFA Teaser trailer #1
    "There has been an awakening... have you felt it" boom! up pops Finn

    TFA Trailer #1
    "It's true... All of it. The darkside... The Jedi" Boooom! guess who again?!

    Luke will train Rey, but Rey will not be the only new Jedi.

    Well, the whole marketing of TFA was a misdirection at its finest.

    I don't want Finn (and Poe) to be a Jedi. Let him stand for himself. He doesn't need to be a Jedi or even force sensitive to be a great character. Furthermore Finn hasn't got the time to become a Jedi, he has his own missions.

    Oh man, your answer was so unoriginal! ;)

    You should have added something like that:
    Sorry, but that lame story smells like click-baiting, follower grabbing tabloid style ala Mike Zeroh, because SW theories nowadays sell like hot cake and generate revenues on youtube accounts.

    Or whatever.

    It's silly that Finn was able to go against Kylo (even just for a minute) with no prior lightsaber training.. so they need a reason for this.

    Ah, that was discussed so many time.

    Some came to the conclusion, that if it is enough for picking up a lightsaber and go against Kylo if you’re a melee trained fighter and best of the class and…
    • That other guy has a hole in his hip from a Wookie bowcatser that normally let groups of troopers fly through the air
    • ... and just had killed his farther, which does not immediately brings mental stability and calm
    • ... and has to accept that the best buddy of Dad, on who’s knees one was sitting as a baby, witnessed all and everything which will result in a death debt
    • You just have to stand against him until the girl destined by the force to put a stop to it
    So keeping up with Kylo under this circumstances does not necessarily make one automatically force sensitive.

    Then if Finn not Force sensitive and he was able to keep up with Kylo Ren, then this means Kylo Ren is not a strong force user rather yet he is weak.

    Not necessarily as that wound would be equivalent to one from cal .50 browning and qualifies as deadly. That hip region contains the biggest artery in the body. So fighting Death and Finn at the same time can be considered challenging I guess. Even for a strong force user.

    If you look at this spoiler very well, Finn learns
    to fly,
    in this shot and in another show
    he flying resistance pod on lego last Jedi Finn with Rose
    , is a clear sign that Finn character is developing, so those who said Finn, not Force sensitive one of their arguments are he can't
    fly
    well now he learns how to
    Fly
    , that knocks out one of your arguments. With out a doubt, Finn hero's Journey is coming to play. That TFA that show Finn as
    a Jedi really was not misdirections
    .

    There is not one indication in TFA that Finn is force sensitive. Yes he fought Kylo Ren, but what choice did he have? Running away? No, that was the moment when he decided that he wasn't going to run anymore, an important milestone for his character. And anyone can turn on a lightsaber, so the weapon used is not important. Also, it was shown in the movie that (at least some) stormtroopers are trained to use weapons similar to lightsabers, so Finn being able to fight with one doesn't prove that he has the force.
    And being "force-less" is the charm of his character. Finn is like a regular person thrown into Star Wars, the sane one in a crazy world. His face while he was fighting Kylo Ren says it all. He has to survive and find his own way while being surrounded by "magic" people. Sure, fans can find inspiration in characters like Rey or Luke, but in the end, they're pretty much impossible to understand because they're dealing with something that was never explained clearly. But Finn is a main character that all fans can identify with, he's the true connection between the audience and the other main characters. And he does a great job at it. And chances are that he'll play a very important role in the story altogether, proving that you don't need the force to make it in a galaxy far far away.
    Also, because he's force-less and sane, Finn has great comedic potential. I can imagine him witnessing a Skywalkers/Rey reunion where everyone is yelling and ready to ignite lightsabers, and he's just sitting there thinking "What the hell is wrong with you people? How did I even get here? Is this really my life?"
    lol

    Isn't this just evidence that he's becoming the new Poe.

    Meanwhile Poe is becoming the new Leia..

    No because Poe will not take Leia place in the resistance, his rank will go up to captain. Next Finn, not an x-wing pilot .

    Either Laura Dern, as Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo, a newcomer to the saga will takes Leia place or....
    [​IMG]





    Billie Lourd Lieutenant Connix will rank up and take Leia place because of her in the last Jedi behind the scene trailer for a reason.
