SPECULATION Will Finn be The Last Jedi at the end of the Trilogy

*
Finn no chance he be a Jedi

 

I fully understand the pessimistic tone that it was written under and decided to turn it positive. That's how I see Finn. He's going to have a great story arc through the three films.

 

For the folks who did not or do not want to watch, the speculation/opinion in the video revolves around the strength of Finn IF he is not a force-sensitive or eventual Jedi character...

It makes sense not to make him a Jedi if it isn't going to be a major part of the story.
Making him FS would be a disservice to the character because if he is not FS at all it means that:

• He, on his own, was able to overcome the brainwashing/conditioning that the FO had done to him, not because he had been "awakened".
• He had the courage and gumption to save Poe from the clutches of the FO.
• Even though he was absolutely terrified of the FO, he had the courage to go back and help save Rey from them. He was willing to risk his life and face his greatest fear to save his new friend.

​

It makes for a better character if this is his true nature shining through. That he's not being led by the Force, but that he's being led by his own principles and beliefs that he is forming on the fly, because he's overcoming brainwashing that he's been put through since he is very young.
In TLJ, the fact that it appears that his courage and convictions are leading him back into the heart of his greatest fear is even more impressive because he's NOT force-sensitive.

It then goes on to speculate that a story that involves Finn COULD end up taking center stage IF Rey falls to the dark side and Finn has to save/redeem her, which IMHO would be a pretty cool story.
​

I have tried multiple times in the main Finn thread to convey almost exactly this (How awesome Finn was that he was able to accomplish what he did) but the video does a far better job of conveying it.

 

What a twist Rey turns Dark? Forget about who her parents are? She will become an agent of evil and Finn must save her...EPIC.

 

To clarify Kylo's skill with a light saber, the TFA visual dictionary refers to Kylo being known as the Jedi Killer because he wiped out the Jedi at Luke's Jedi temple with his lightsaber skills. So it is safe to say that he quite skilled with a lightsaber

 

I would really enjoy something like that. I mean except the Snoke being Rey's father bit.

 

Him being at the top 1% of all stormtrooper cadets, and him not killing people despite his programming needs to be explained.

 

There's a decent theory above.

 

I believe he is FS. Otherwise all those other things don't make sense.

 

I like this video. I don't see them going this way at this point. But there are some possibilities.

 

He doesn't hear the people screaming in the Hosian system. The timing is wrong, that's not that force abilitiy (as we've seen it before) works, the script says he hears a "sound" (ie - the weapon) not the people screaming, hints that him being force sensitive would be important the plot but it was left out of other TFA material (novel, comic book), the sound effect of the force being used isn't there, he looks up at the lase blast, not where the system is (if he is "hearing" the people, why isn't he looking at where they are?) etc...

Hes a skilled person with a conscience.

nope. The problem with arguments like this (basically just confirmation basis) is that you make them about anyone/anything. And basically retelling Rey's story from TFA and TLJ with Finn over TLJ and Episode IX isn't a high level of storytelling we should all be looking forward to seeing.

 

Ben: Remember, a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him.
Luke: You mean it controls your actions?
Ben: Partially, but it also obeys your commands.

The idea that Finn is just a puppet of the Force, without any control or free will, doesn't cut it with me.

Han: That's not how the Force works

I believe Finn is Force sensitive: I don't think that diminishes his actions in any way. The force may be guiding him, but it is Finn's choice - a heroic choice - to stand and fight when his sense of self-preservation is telling him to run.

 

then why shove the force into the situation/onto the character when it isn't needed?

 

I'm sorry. I didn't realise you know the entire story of epidode VIIi and IX.

 

says the person saying Finn has to be force sensitive.

 

I didn't say he has to be - I said I believe he is.
You say that the force is not needed - that's a definitive statement. It's only true if Finn is not force sensitive. As we do not know that yet, and might not have a definitive answer until ep IX it's a hell of a leap 1/3 of the way into the story.

I have a belief; I'm keeping an open mind until more of the story unfolds which will either confirm or refute my belief.

You've decided already.
