John Boyega's Finn holds his blaster, edited over him wielding a lightsaber

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT As one of the leading characters of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, John Boyega's Finn deserved a massive spotlight and a brilliant story, but that is unfortunately not what he got. In the anticipation of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it was made clear that Finn was going to be a major player, especially once the clip of him igniting the Skywalker lightsaber arrived at the end of the movie's first trailer.

It's also clear that Finn's able to hold his own in a lightsaber fight, even if he cannot last too long. While Kylo Ren was injured during their duel, it's still impressive that Finn manages to not only defend himself, but even get a hit in on Kylo before he's taken down. This being his final fight with a lightsaber is nothing short of a shame, given how much potential it promises.

Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi PG-13 Sci-Fi Action Fantasy Adventure Where to Watch *Availability in USIn the second installment of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, General Leia Organa leads the Resistance forces against the First Order. Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker struggles to come to terms with his past failures, while Rey urges him to train her in the Force and join the resistance.

Rey Skywalker Daughter of a "failed" Palpatine clone, Rey became part of a mysterious phenomenon known as the Force Dyad - a vergence in the Force that bound her to Kylo Ren. Trained by both Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, Rey fought against the First Order as an ally of the Resistance. She ultimately triumphed against Palpatine himself, channelling the full power of all Jedi.

4 Finn's Force Sensitivity Could Have Been Explored Earlier Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker After two movies that don't deal with Finn's potential in the Force, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker does at least touch on it. Still, it's not treated with as much care as it should have been. Finn is constantly unable to tell Rey about it, and the only time he's really seen using it is when he senses Rey's death on Exegol.

Seeing Finn earn this title alongside Poe would have not only elevated Finn's story, but also made their shared leadership even more special. It's clear that Poe's position was earned, even with the mistakes he'd made, and Finn deserved to have that same sentiment attached to his own appointment.
