Current Events > Finn was great in Last Jedi

(+) Yeah! (+)

His character arc was great, has an awesome fight scene with Phasma, and says the most badass line in the movie.

Nah.

Yah

---

Agreed.

---

Finn was fine, everyone else not so much.

I like that part. It's a shame Phasma didn't have more screen time.

It's my favorite film in the sequel trilogy even though Rian Johnson is bad and all three movies are kind of poop.

---

rebel scum is a good bar but he also said chrome dome earlier so ehhh

---

Phasma is one of the lamest characters in the entire saga.

---

If only Phasma had had some impact on anything remotely important (though, this also applies to Finn in that movie) so I could care what happens to her.

...Ah well.

Finn was horrible. Saying that Finn was great in this movie, is like listening to the Amos and Andy and saying.. that is a good representation.

The actor himself complained about Finn's role. And to top everything else off. They literally had a better fight between Finn and Phasma and cut it.

Funny how so many people who are Finn fans hate what happen to him. But people who favorite character is someone else love what they did to him.

Finn a child solider was lectured about the ills of war.
He fell in a shit.
His pain was not considered at all.
He was treated as tool with not feelings.
Why wasn't he the one to call maz .

Also fuck that movie they are not Rebels. They are literally resistant. This line that all the people who love how he was treated like to bring up is stupid. A rebel is someone from with in a nation fighting the nation or country itself. A resistant is a group of people fighting to protect a nation from a outside force. The FO was the outside force that was taking over.

Finn want from being a listed as the Male lead to being a side kick for Rose.
His treatment was down right Racist all so they can make Start Wars just about another white guy. Damn everyone else.
Even Rey Mission went to being all about Kylo.

Luke did nothing remotely important in Empire Strikes Back

....Ah well.

I liked Finn's role in TLJ, but it was an arc most people were kind of expecting him to do offscreen, so I get people disliking it. The casino section wasn't really pointless but I can see how people thought it was, especially since it ended up not serving a real point in the story (in fact, it failing instead served a major point in the story)

Phasma being such an underutilized character really didn't help, because it really hurt Finn's big character moment. It seems like they intentionally underused her to try to develop some kind of "Boba Fett" appeal with her, but it just didn't work.

Finn had MORE of a reason to the Join the Resistant when he work up from his Coma , then he did after CB. He literally finds out that both sides are funding slavery. This isn't address this is not gone into detail on. It is who help these guys are you just like this slam ball.

Boyega disagrees.

Still mad at how hard John Boyega got shafted in this trilogy.

I mean, Fin after waking up from his Coma just wanted to get Rey and bail, let the First Order and the Resistance beat out their own issues, so long as him and the one other character he cared about were out of harms way.

After Casino Bight (or whatever the planet was called) Finn watched this mindset literally almost doom the resistance when DJ cashed in for a quick buck. I think that's a much better reason to come to the conclusion that he has to actually pick a side then after he wakes up and still doesn't want to do anything but stop Rey from killing herself.

It was horrible how bad he was treated come Rise of Skywalker, I'll agree with that at least, even if I personally liked him in the first two movies.

I was wondering when this guy would show up. Surprised it took almost an hour haha.

Finn would've made a better main protagonist than Rey

His mindset did not almost doom the resistance. Wanting to save one's self is not at all the same as the selling people out for profit. And at the end of TFA he was all about Finding Rey. But Han was like you can't that way and people are depending on you. And he took down the Shields BEFORE he saved Rey. That was your change . He didn't need to be written out of the movie to learn that.

It was horrible how bad he was treated come Rise of Skywalker, I'll agree with that at least, even if I personally liked him in the first two movies.

He was literally treated worst in the TLJ then he was in TROS . He helps to save the Day in the TROS, gets the code, Finds Rey, stops Rey and Poe from fighting, he
addressed his Stormtrooper past thus he is treated like human not a tool. He leads the final ground assault & succeeds. He was force Sensitive. He was not a comic relief character that had pratfall after pratfall. He felt like soldier, he was not called a coward over and over. He was in the main plot.

So how in the hell is a he treated better in TLJ ?

I was wondering when you would defend the horrible treatment John Boyega received and spoke out against.

He wasn't a rebel, he wanted nothing to do with the resistance.
The resistance weren't rebels.

Nobody cared what terms were tossed around, in one scene they're "rebels" in another the "resistance". If they're not going to care, why should I?

Same thing in with Rey in eps 8&9, Snoke and Palpy can't decide if they want Rey captured or killed from scene to scene. It's no wonder why Kylo's mind is all fucked up, nobody gives the poor bastard clear instructions!

The whole trilogy is a damn mess.

Hey buddy in Last Jedi he has something called an arc, in the beginning he didn't care about joining the resistance but through his journey with Rose, he did want to join and that's why he proudly called himself "rebel scum", please pay attention to the movie.

They weren't rebels. He can't join the rebels IF THERE AREN'T ANY!

They were a resistance. Plus he didn't try to join anything, he was just tagging along for the ride.

*Edit* He could have said "girl scout scum" and had the same effect. He said something stupid that had no meaning and made no sense.
Again, if the writers don't give a shit about their movie, why should I?

Because his backstory had more potential

Possible ex stormtrooper turning jedi and building his own army of former troopers to rebel against the evil group

Because a turncoat goon that becomes a jedi and has to grapple with fighting his former squad mates and superiors is more compelling than "relative of big evil that lives in squalor on shitty desert planet on the ass end of the galaxy" which we've already seen in the 70s. Quit your bullshit.
