So, I came across this article about how Rey’s upcoming movie could fix the way Star Wars treated Finn in the last trilogy, and I gotta say, it really caught my attention.
Basically, the article argues that Finn was kind of cheated out of a chance to shine in the last movies. He started off strong as a former Stormtrooper turned Rebel, but by the end of the trilogy, he was relegated to a bit of a supporting role, and some of his storylines felt unfinished.
But with Rey’s new movie apparently set to explore more of the galaxy’s underbelly, there’s hope that Finn will get the chance to shine again. Fans are hoping he’ll get to lead a group of Stormtroopers who have defected to the Resistance, and maybe even get a love interest that doesn’t get overshadowed by other plot points.
For me, I gotta admit I wasn’t the biggest Star Wars fan to begin with. But I did see the last trilogy, and I remember thinking Finn had a lot of potential that just wasn’t fully realized. So it’d be really cool to see him get a chance to become the hero he deserves to be.
And I think the article brings up a good point that goes beyond just one character’s story arc. With the rise of social media and the intense scrutiny that comes with it, fans have more power than ever to shape the stories they love. By speaking out and demanding better representation for characters like Finn, we’re holding creators to a higher standard and hopefully making media that’s more inclusive and diverse for everyone.
So yeah, I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what Rey’s movie has in store for Finn, and I hope it lives up to the potential fans have been hoping for!
