EPISODE VII: THE FINN FACTOR!


The Stormtrooper who became a hero, and a hero who got to wield the legendary lightsaber of none other than the mythical Luke Skywalker! Finn, no longer FN-2187, was the ultimate story distraction, in the best way, during The Force Awakens key publicity/marketing, cleverly deflecting us away from the crucial reveal by film's end that it would instead be Rey who'd become the custodian of the Jedi weapon with the next films of the sequel trilogy. Interestingly, by the time of The Rise of Skywalker, Finn has a welcome touch of Force ability about him, emotionally registering the near death of Rey whilst she defeats the Emperor.
