Remember back when Episode 7 trailer dropped and people thought a chubby black dude was what was going to be what killed Star Wars

and they were partly right

I don't like his character but Yea Forums was unusable for weeks after that first teaser dropped. Every thread had to be star wars. Took over the fucking board even worse than GOT faggots ever did.

Remember back when you had sex?
Me neither.

I remember everyone talking about the "little white cuck ball" and people thinking there was an inevitable interracial romance between him and Rey.

>DUDE REMEMBER WHEN PEOPLE SAID STUPID THING
>LMAO I REMEMBER
great thread boys

Turns out, it was the biggest subversion all along.

Post more of these pls

People were scared he was going to kiss the white woman. Would have been the least of the trilogy’s problems.

I honestly wish he was the main character

He got that entire middle part of TLJ that was better then everything not with Hammil in it.

Yup
And that is why JJ put him in there.
He's the hate bait.
The dislike sleight of hand
The AHA GOTCHA!!

Remember when they teased him becoming a Jedi, and the main character, but then he turned out being a useless sideplot character that adds nothing to the already pointless story.

he does actually suck too, just not as much as sum of it's parts.

they also ruined his only good scene

I think everyone on this board owes John Boyega an apology. I'll start

I'm sorry for being rude to you and your character, John.

Pic related was always my personal favorite.

He is honestly much more intersting than Rey
An ex-stormtrooper character had so much potential to be intersting and both movies completely failed to flesh Finn's character out. We never got to see what a unique perspective Finn would have being literally raised in the First Order, but instead he's just another interchangeable rebel freedom fighter (and DO NOT even get me started on Rian wasting what could have and should have been character development on cashing in woke points on that goddamn casino planet B plot). But even what little scraps we got still beats the shit out of Rey's backstory.

Never thought I'd say this but I really miss 2014 Yea Forums

The black dude was actually a red herring.
What killed star wars was feminism.

this. cut out rey completely and just have some ptsd storm trooper running from one conflict to another. never really joining the rebels but only helping them because he is a deserter caught up in something far bigger than he is.

>story is about storm trooper who had bad ptsd
>tried running away from it all only to get into a much bigger conflict
>doesnt really care about the rebels or new order
>both sides show their ups and downs as he gets passed back and forth
>eventually has to pick a side for better or worse and accept he cant run away from his troubles
>last movie is actually two, first is when he picks to fight for the rebels second is when he fights for new order
>audience get to larp as rebel fans or new order fans

Really? I myself prefer the post-fappening-election zoomer reddit tourist age.

That nigga killed Pacific Rim though

Agree. Finn should have been the main character. Strom Trooper turned Jedi would have been kino popcorn fun.

>Poe/Finn bromance was the best thing in Episode 7
>Throw it all out in the next one for Poe to be put down for mansplanning and a cringey romance for Finn

They realized having two healthy hetero men engaged in a mutually rewarding platonic relationship wasn't woke enough

>people thinking there was an inevitable interracial romance between him and Rey.

If they gave the second film to Jar Jar Abrams there would have been. But they gave it to Cryin' Rian and brown on white wasn't subversive enough for him so he sprung for brown on yellow.

The scene at the beginning of TFA where Poe helps Finn escape is probably the best in any of these films
Its a complete waste that these two characters with a good potential friendship barely even share scenes over the next two films, could have been a fun buddy-cop-esque relationship.
he sucked in TFA
