Ideas Wanted for fan edit: Finn Being Force Sensitive

 (Edited)

Im currently working on a very light fanedit of the sequel trilogy and I’m wondering if anyone has ideas for this.

Most fanedits I’ve seen remove the plot point about finn being force sensitive and telling Rey about it. But I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of how to do the opposite. Make it MORE obvious that he is sensitive (i.e. added music or sound effects etc.) because I definitely think there are clues throughout the trilogy that could suggest he is.

Any help is appreciated! This is the first time I’m posting so I’m hoping I’m doing it right

Thanks!

That’s tricky. There are hints in the first scene of TFA where Kylo senses something about Finn, and he even recalls his name afterwards which could imply that Finn had previously shown some sensitivity in his Stormtrooper training which Kylo noticed. Maybe some subtle sound effect could be used when Kylo sees Finn in the village.

In Rey’s vision in TFA she could hear Finn’s voice saying ‘It’s a feeling’ among the other voices.

I haven’t thought about the other films, but I’m sure there could be moments there as well.

You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

Maybe you could imply that it’s the force that guides him out of the desert on Jakku? Maybe add a distant call from Rey or anybody to when he wakes up and looks around? You could then follow that up with a close up of him closing his eyes and focusing on the force or something.

Thats a cool idea! Thanks!

I know Hal/Poppa in TLJ put audio of Rey whispering Finn’s name to him, causing him to wake up shouting her name. Just a subtle hint, really.

To clarify, he was sensing that Finn planned to betray the FO, not necessarily his FS.
