Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker - Discussion Thread

Girl power...

No boys allowed lol gross

Chris Terrio(co-writer for RoS) confirms that Finn is indeed Force-sensitive...

"Hopefully, the film also suggests that Finn is discovering that he is a Force user and is Force strong. Finn feels the death of Rey, and in a crucial moment during the battle, Finn senses the command ship where the navigation signal was coming from. So, we wanted to begin to plant the idea that Finn is Force strong and that there are other people in the galaxy who are Force strong. Yes, of course, the galaxy is full of Force users, and you don't have to be a Skywalker or a Palpatine in order to be strong with the Force. But Luke does say very explicitly in Return of the Jedi, 'The Force is strong in my family,' and we know that there is an inherited element to Force power."

Let us forget Finn even existed, please.

What a waste

I'll begrudgingly accept this, even if it seems like a huge back pedal. But come on...this should have been a thing in TFA.

Exactly. He even uses Lukes lightsaber...

So much potential for a ex-stormtrooper training as a Jedi... But whatever

Finn is complete garbage though.

He just spent the entire movie yelling everyone's name. It was ****ing annoying.

Like I said many times.

He *kinda* worked in TFA... in a comic relief duo with BB-8.

Nothing more than that. Boyega should be mopping the floors, at best.

“Force strong”

And this is the guy they got to write the final film in the “saga”.

Boyega has the acting chops for more I think, the writing was hot gargage though.

He could have been the black Kyle Katarn.

I doubt he's even capable of working in a grocery store, tbh.

Fuck Boyega.

It sure does explain a lot.

Boyega is a solid actor. Stilt is just racist.

Again, I think this goes back to them having no real plan, Finn is okay in TFA, good comedy relief in these movies is expected, they just sort of forgot about him from that point on aside from trying to force on screen banter with Poe and a romance down our necks.
