Yeah Finn was my favorite in The Force Awakens. That might be part of why TLJ was just a disaster for me. I was really looking forward to seeing more of him, then he didn't do anything in TLJ and was reduced to comedic sidekick. Dumb. Didn't watch Rise

He's right, his character in TFA was great and he got completely shafted in TLJ. Similar thing happened to Oscar Isaac imo

I'm also going to say, Finn had the most potential of any of the new characters in this new trilogy, and they just butchered him outright. How do you build most of your marketing around this man for the first bit of promotional material and then just go, "sike, it's really Rey who's more important."

He's right. Finn could be completely removed from the story andbasiclly nothing changes, to me he felt like the token black guy, there just to avoid the "so there's only white people in space" comments. Which is a shame because the character had great potential they just did fuck all with him. Is he a pilot? A Jedi in training? Rebel? Quitter? Pick a lane and stick with it FFS

I think his character was all over the place in TFA to begin with. JJ Abrams has said he went through tons of script re-writes before landing where TFA landed. So maybe in some earlier script Finn had some cohesion. But in the final movie we end up with a Finn who
It was a mess from the beginning and I dislike TLJ but I can see it tried to make his character something more coherent with a more obvious love interest with Rose, story arc (that still ultimately goes nowhere), and some sort of resolution with Phasma. RoS deserves blame for completely throwing its hands in the air and doing absolutely nothing with Finn at all but it would've been a shoddy ending for the character one way or another. --- ...

The ST is full of wasted potential.

He's absolutely right. He got sidelined in TLJ with the shitty casino plot and then lost the Rey Bowl to her abusive stalker BF. His story was set up perfectly in TFA and then they did nothing with him. Same with Poe.

Sounds like the cast didn't really like Rian Johnson and TLJ.
Boyega basically just called it shit. Hamill seemed pretty salty about it when it was first released and Daisy Ridley started crying with joy when she heard JJ Abrams was gonna return for TRoS.

I don't like her character, but I never got the impression that they were just fumbling with what to do with her.
