I hope Finns story kinda turns out like Leia and he’s force sensitive and learns a little bit of the jedi way but ultimately chooses to abandon the monk like path of the jedi to explore poe dameron’s hot bod and rule the galaxy with his cute pilot boyfriend
counterpoint to all those cute “little girls looking up to rey” stories: i saw a little boy stab his father with kylo ren’s lightsaber at target the other day
one of the first (if not THE first) to break stormtrooper conditioning
is a stormtrooper who can actually hit things okay
he and rey have near exact introduction shots, he and rey also have parallelism in terms of a narrative arc AND IT WOULD BE COOL IF THEY BOTH GOT LIGHTSABERS
the visual cue of all Force sensitives first appearing with masks on, and removing them due to an “awakening”
kylo ren senses fn-2187 during the assault on jakku, enough to remember his call sign later in the film
hears the screams of people on hosinian prime while on takodana, is the first person to notice that the Starkiller base is firing
his leaving prompts rey’s force vision
maz kanata gives finn, not han–who she knows and likely trusts, luke’s lightsaber
later maz kanata insists that finn has a weapon– if we’re going with eu lore, lightsabers are only able to be wielded by jedi
manages to handle his own against kylo ren for a while, including injuring kylo’s shoulder
this one’s a stretch but: at the end it looks like he’s wearing a white tunic, reminiscent of luke’s outfit in ANH
