The Last Jedi end all be all Finn prediction

So, I don’t post ever but I needed to get this one out there.

Basis for prediction: In TFA i think I remember Snoke saying “there has been an awakening” right? Most would assume he’s talking about Rey as she ended up being the focal point for the force in the movie. But that really doesn’t make sense because she hadn’t shown any signs of any kind of awakening at that point. He was talking about Finn and his change at the village massacre. I think this is intentional and instrumental for this prediction.

Now in TLJ trailer once again we here Snoke speak of a force user. A “raw untamed power” as it gives us shots of Rey and Kylo and I feel as if that’s a misdirection and he’s really talking about Finn.

Reason 1: so we all know Finn goes “undercover” in the FO except, that doesn’t make any sense either because he should be on the FO’s most wanted list. I don’t think he’s undercover, I think they want him there specifically because of what he is and what he did.

Reason 2: the seriously suspicious lack of Finn merchandising and promo just doesn’t fit for a character so integral to the plot. Rian Johnson seems to imply there’s a lot more than meets the eye and I’m inclined to believe him. They focus on everything but Finn to not draw attention to him and his story. Hate it or love it they love their plot twists

Reason 3: we know he’s force sensitive (kinda). The problem is that it’s only implied atm. Now how to introduce said sensitivity without it feeling… forced(buh dum tsss) you make the audience realise that he was force sensitive the entire time. Rather than having yet another clutch dramatic reveal in the heat of battle. You foreshadow said sensitivity in TFA. Coming full circle to my Basis for prediction. Simple. Thanks for reading. Whaddya think?

Interesting! Here’s to hoping. I mean, I found the whole idea of Finn undercover to really stretch my suspension of disbelief, too. So maybe DJ makes him a fake ID in the system, whatever. Is DJ so good that he can rewrite human memory? When Finn is going into the wolves’ den with his face uncovered? As a Stormtrooper trainee he ate in mess hall with his face uncovered. He lived communally with other trainees. Any passing Stormtrooper could recognize him. And that’s to say nothing of Phasma and Hux, who quite recently reviewed his personnel files and presumably are not both face-blind, and Kylo Ren, who also saw Finn’s face at the very least during the fight on Starkiller Base.

Like… argh, are you fucking kidding me. How does that even work? Even if the movie turns out to be good, it would be the biggest joke ever if this undercover mission works the way it’s shown, with Finn waltzing into Snoke’s own flagship and going unrecognized for a decent amount of time. At the very least this is a terrible use of human resources, because by normal logic he should have debriefed and trained other undercover agents and let them take over. So there had better be something more going on, because otherwise the First Order are going to look about as menacing as a classroom in daycare.

Which is a long way of saying, I like your theory lol. And if the absence of Finn in the promo and merch is due to legitimate plot reasons I may even consider forgiving LucasFilm sometime in the next decade.
