“Finn is the military part of the trilogy, him having the force wouldn’t work.”

Characters who have had the force and were also apart of the military aspects:

Kanan Jarrus

Ezra Bridger

Ahsoka Tano

Luke Skywalker

Rey

General Leia Organa

EVERY SINGLE JEDI IN TCW THAT WENT BY GENERAL OR COMMANDER

The force and the military have never been separated. Even TLJ, can’t erase the fact that Rey specifically says she’s with the Resistance and was sent to Luke because of them.

Finn can have the force and be a commander in the Resistance. Y’all just looking for reasons to make him less important. It’s a you problem, not a Finn problem.

It’s kinda funny, because people have been trying to make a case for Han having the Force since 1977, no matter that his arc was about becoming a responsible leader and a general. Funny how having the Force was and is not see as ruining his character and that fans thought it’d work brilliantly for him, but somehow it’s a detriment to Finn?

Also missing: any serious fandom speculation of Lando having the Force, despite his piloting and brilliant tactical judgment saving the day. Nah, Lando’s got to be the Everyman even though he clearly isn’t, I wonder why? 🤣

I’ve seen every excuse why Finn can’t be force sensitive.

“He lost to Nines and Kylo.”

Finn never used a lightsaber before and every SW protagonist has gotten their ass handed to them, including Rey the first time she met Kylo.

“He needs saving.”

He’s saved more people than anyone has saved him.

“He’s the Han Solo type”.

Han and Finn are fundamentally different, and even if he wasn’t, fans have been asking/claiming Han was force sensitive for decades.

“Finn’s the every man.”

Finn is an ex Stormtrooper who was stolen from his family, raised in a fascist organization and goes on an adventure with a homeless, an old pirate, and big foot. What the fuck kind of every man is that?

“Finn was a bait and switch to hide Rey being force sensitive and the real protagonist.”

Rey uses the force multiple different times that have no actual relation to Finn until she fights to save his life. Beyond that, Finn shows his own hints of being force sensitive, and he is the co-protagonist.

There is actually no reason for Finn not to be force sensitive beyond some people not lining the idea of it.

In addition to the above very valid points (bigfoot lmaoooo), Finn was in the 99% percentile in Stormtrooper training and considered officer material other than that pesky empathy of his. If he’s an Everyman then Bill Gates is a middle class dad.

Before TLJ, Star Wars didn’t have flashback sequences and exposition of what was happening on the screen, it relied heavily on “show, don’t tell”, and treated the viewer as someone intelligent enough to discern what was happening on screen with their own eyes. This is one of the true proofs as to what makes Rian a terrible writer, besides his desire to subvert a plot that already was when Rey dropped Kylo at the end of TFA.

themandalorianwolf:

TLJ in of itself is a failure for the reasons that it is a movie with only themes and no cohesive story or plot that warrants the claim of originality

And it just… speaks those themes (generally through the characters of Rose and Holdo) instead of showing them organically through story. That is terrible and preachy writing.

she-ra is just the Star Wars sequels if Finn was the main character like….a former enemy soldier defecting and being unsure of themself….someone who was brainwashed from birth….Adora is the Jedi!Finn we wanted

“If” Finn was the main character?

Pretty sure OP meant that if Finn was THE protagonist instead of the co-protagonist, though IMO the sequels would have worked better if Lucasfilm A. didn’t hire Rian Johnson and B. gave Rey and Finn the Mulder and Scully treatment the entire way through.

Back on track, what is She-Ra? 

Never speak to me or my 9 Princess of Power daughters ever again
