Packaging for a new Rey action figure that seems to confirm that Finn carrying the Skywalker saber is misdirection:
I don’t think this rules out Finn being Force-sensitve or becoming a Jedi; I’d guess he’d probably need to have some aptitude to be able to make any use at all of a lightsaber. On the flip side of that, though, I’ve seen a lot of people elsewhere on the internet (who presumably haven’t been following this as closely as us) despairing about Finn wielding the saber because they’re convinced it means Rey won’t be a Jedi. It sounds like a ridiculous idea because everything that’s been revealed points to her being the main focus of the film, but it’s a thing people actually seem to be worried about.
Well it is possible that Finn dies at the end of TFA, as many have theorized.
Alternatively it could turn out that it’s Rey who’s Force sensitive, but that it’s Finn who ends up in possesion of the lightsaber. It could be that he got it from the Star Destroyer when he tries to save Poe. For all we know she might save his life during his fight with Kylo.
Also, Rey’s jacket on that figure looks a lot like the jacket she’s wearing in this shot;
People seem to think that this is at the very end of the movie, so it might be that, for whatever reason, she’s in possesion of it at this point. In Ep. VIII it’s probably Rey who’s goig to use Anakin’s saber. The bi question then is, what’s happened to Finn and what will he do in Ep. VIII if he’ll be in it at all?
