The evolution of this thread is so fukking funny. There were a lot of people riding for him in the first few pages. That group drastically decreased after Episode VIII and disappeared completely after IX to the point that the last page is JOHN BOYEGA HIMSELF shytting on the character/trilogy :russ:

Im trying to figure out how people in here acting like it wasnt an obvious bait and switch:mindblown:.


Id never watched a full Star Wars movie in my life until this one. On the strength of John Boyega and a black leading protaginist as a jedi. I was in the theatre til the very end of the movie thinking he was about to have his moment. It didnt finally click until you saw the white girl grab the lightsaber with the force:francis:


I remember saying "yeeaaah" outloud too,when Finn first took the saber out to fight the villian. Only to be humbled seconds later with Finn face down in the snow:dead:.


Maybe Disney planned on him being the jedi until they got that reaction from the trailer. From angry racist ass white boys. That white woman was just something to fall back on,if they had to bail on the idea. Wouldve been a far bigger success with the Finn angle.

I don't think it was a bait n switch. They had every intention of doing what we thought they would with the Finn character but, there was so much backlash from the racist white nerd community they neutered the character

I dont see how you dont consider that a bait and switch. They planned one thing. Marketed as that thing in the teaser trailer. Then switched up after the fact. Some of us were lured in by the teaser trailer which they backtracked out of. And obviously had a backup plan for at the very least.
