listen… i don’t think it means force-sensitive Finn is “debunked” or whatever. maybe they’ll explore that in ep 9. but that’s what i was worried about when they said that each movie is kind of a stand-alone in terms of screenplay. there’s no freaking continuity. JJ had set up FS Finn but Rian doesn’t want to talk about that in ep 8 so he fucking doesnt. and if jurassic guy decides it doesn’t interest him either….

i’m mad, how can you set up a trilogy without any guarantee of continuity ? that’s not how it works. there are some major aspects of the main characters that are supposed to be explored and developed.

And then they ditch Jurassic Misogynist and bring JJ back for Ep IX….

It’s kinda even worse because Ansel Elgort is who Rian Johnson said he imagined as Finn just reading the TFA treatment.

The sound I just made. Im disgusted. The disrespect. Omf.

where are people getting this information from? it’s not the first time i’m reading this from someone on tumblr but i can’t a find a source.

Lol that makes sense. I’m just upset about the news. I’m not thinking right.

From what I remember, he said this either on radio or in something not print. I remember that I hadn’t even heard of Ansel Elgort to that point and my thought was “This dude better be black.” :/ I don’t know if he came out and said “Ansel should have been Finn” as much as he said he read the script for TFA after the fact and the character of Finn brought Ansel Elgort to mind. Which is still shitty, but idk.

I hadn’t heard this before. If it’s true, A. He needs to keep his white default attitude to himself and do right by John – who would picture a mashed banana teen romance it boy for Finn? And, B. I feel like if he really admitted that, it proves Finn is meant to be the romantic lead, since he pictured some mashed banana teen romance it boy.

If this is true I’m wondering if Rian even saw Attack the Block. John was the new cast member I was most excited to see in action because of how much I loved him in Attack the Block.  

This is Ansel Elgort. 😕 Honestly, there should be no question that John Boyega is the perfect actor for Finn. Absolutely none. John is Finn.

JJ Abrams did so well standing up to him.

This whole post has taken years off my life.

The one silver lining is @diversehighfantasy pointing out that this Elmer’s glue guy is an actor who plays romantic leads and that’s what Finn is.
