John Boyega Reveals A Lower Star Wars Scene That Confirmed Finn As A Jedi
At a current panel at a C2E2 occasion in Chicago, John Boyega shed some further gentle on what the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy virtually did along with his character Finn. Most followers have already heard that director J.J. Abrams supposed to reveal that Finn was force-sensitive, however Boyega provided up a bit of extra information about what that second would’ve seemed like. Finn was alleged to have this large reveal when he was sinking into quicksand on the desert planet of Pasaana. Within the completed minimize, Finn yells “Rey, I by no means instructed you…” however then will get sucked underneath the sand. He is later rescued, however by no means explains what he was going to say. However as Boyega put it:

“I imply, I did attempt to inform Rey earlier than I went down. There was a pair takes the place I simply mentioned it, ‘[shouts] I am a Jedi.’ There was a pair, nevertheless it was good to tease it. I wished to say it after they’re happening into the quicksand.”
Sadly, Finn is rarely explicitly confirmed to have Jedi potential within the sequel trilogy, which was disappointing contemplating that one of the crucial memorable photographs from the advertising of “The Drive Awakens” featured Finn holding a lightsaber. It did not assist that Abrams’ preliminary rationalization for what Finn was saying was met with skepticism from followers; many believed he was backpedaling after the backlash to the unique interpretation of the quicksand scene, which was that Finn was about to say one thing romantic to Rey.

Casting additional fan doubt on Abrams’ interview reveal is that this does not appear to be the form of secret Finn can be so shy about it. His love for a buddy is the form of factor one would possibly need to out of the blue confess of their remaining moments; “I am a Jedi,” in the meantime, is much less of a susceptible secret and extra of a cool brag. But when Boyega himself is confirming that this was what Finn was attempting to say, that ought to just about settle the matter.
Boyega thanked Abrams for at the least attempting to wrap up Finn’s character arc
Though Boyega has usually expressed disappointment with how Finn’s storyline performed out within the trilogy, it looks like he locations a lot of the blame for this on “The Final Jedi,” the one film within the trilogy not directed by Abrams. Boyega defined, “‘Rise of Skywalker,’ I had a superb time. However I knew due to the construction change from ‘The Final Jedi,’ it was actually powerful on J.J. to return again and tie the whole lot collectively.” He later added:

“I used to be simply supportive of no matter J.J. wished to do, being as we had a lot historical past from ‘The Drive Awakens.’ And a number of the narrative about Finn that was established in ‘The Drive Awakens’ had been picked again up by J.J. in ‘The Rise of Skywalker.’ And it is laborious to do it. It is laborious to determine Rey after which set up one other Jedi. You need to break up issues up with the time that you simply’re given. However I admire the little issues that J.J. was doing in there.”
The intense facet for Boyega is that there are nonetheless limitless prospects for Finn’s character. He is nonetheless alive, in spite of everything, and not like the prequel characters, we do not know a lot about what occurs to him later in life. Finn could have been caught yelling after Rey for a lot of the third film, however for the remainder of his life he can do no matter he desires. As Boyega concluded, “I admire J.J. for placing these Easter eggs in there and attempting to develop. So, if there may be ever a revisit of Finn, there may be stuff to play with.”
