    To be fair, Finn is a throwaway character despite decent acting. Not important to the plot really at all. The same can be said for most of the characters in the movie.

    Moreover, the whole movie is something that should be thrown away, but not forgotten. It needs to be archived as an entry in the museum of the failures of Disney.

      John Boyega was robbed. He was excellent in TFA and his character was actually interesting. Then Disney fucked him over.

        Ehhhh… He goes from being shellshocked about his fellow soldier dying to whooping and cheering about murdering his former friends so fast it made my head spin.

        Boyega was robbed, but they didn’t use him very well even in TFA, in my opinion.

      He could have mattered but the directors decided to make him comic relief and otherwise sideline him for… reasons. us-foreign-policy

      It was an alright to very mediocre set of movies that people feel way too many emotions about.
