So after watching this again, I’m wondering if the ending would have been better had Fin died. Probably not a popular opinion, but it would have been a powerful event for his character, and I’m struggling to think of what kind of unique role he could play in the rest of the trilogy. His arc seems kind of complete already.
Not a crazy proposition. This thought has crossed my mind many times since I first saw it.
It really depends on Rey’s arc. He could be used by Kylo just as Luke was lured by his friends in Empire, or the opposite could happen, though that has already been done.
Or rather, since Finn began the humanization of the Stormtrooper, he could attempt to rescue others from the First Order en masse through the use of Resistance propaganda. That would be my vote.
