I’m saying, the First Order has literally millions of storm troopers, maybe even billions (to be able to control a galaxy of trillions). If this dude wasn’t performing adequately, he would’ve been replaced in a second.

Finn was the best of the best and the first order used him as an example of how they wanted other stormtroopers to perform. They thought he would eventually get rid of the compassion he had for others.

And how is a janitor assigned to Kylo Ren? You’d think he’d have the top troops with him while looking for Luke.

Because he WAS at the very top in terms of skills. The whole janitor assigned to kylo's squad doesn't make sense, but it would make perfect with his original backstory. It's all bullshyt.

Breh, would’ve been nice to actually see this shyt. What we saw was a joke. Any coli nikka could wash Finn in a 1 v 1. If this is what the First Order called elite, no wonder them nikkas lawst.

His original backstory could have made for a badass character.

A highly skilled ex stormtrooper who turned on the first order cause he didn't like the way they murdered innocent people.

Now he's a scared little bytch who jumps in fear the moment the wind changes.

THIS is the most mind boggling thing about the entire sequel trilogy. They came up with an extremely compelling and original idea for a star wars protagonist and just... threw it away

He could have been the Jason Bourne / Winter Soldier of Star Wars. A brainwashed super soldier who breaks free of his programming. There's so much story to tell around a character like that: you have his guilt about fighting people he once fought with; his desire to atone for past atrocities he participated in; his anxiety about whether he still has the psychological triggers of his brainwashing; his distrust about being used as a weapon again by the Resistance; everyone around him being afraid that he's really a first order double agent... hell, you could use him to dump exposition explaining what the fukk the first order is and how they became so powerful in the first place.

AND they had the fight choreographers from the Raid in the movie already so you KNOW his fight scenes could have been fukking A1 :wow:

They came up with a character who had alllllllll of that storytelling/action potential and were just like "nah, let's go with the comic relief space janitor :troll:" These dikkheads threw an interception at the goal line in the super bowl

I fukk with boyega though. He can only work with what he's given and it's clear he's not feeling the direction they went in either.

Still remember that epic feeling of excitement before watching the force awakens. Even after watching it the speculation and revelations of who kylo was and the ending with skywalker i was ready to get hooked on star wars again but they killed all of that.
