    A stormtrooper who sees the errors of his ways and becomes a Jedi over the course of 3 movies. Yeah that would have been amazing.
  • @chillpill2600
    Fin was the first face we had seen since the last star wars movie. Not to mention he was holding the iconic first lightsaber in the posters. They drew so much importance to him only to toss him aside. Broke my nerd heart
  • @bon7029
    A stormtrooper becoming a Jedi would have been one hell of a story.
  • @nateriver1005
    Imagine if Skywalker told Finn that he was a Windu. The fans would have went nuts in the movie. Finn was the ultimate bait and switch character in Star Wars movie history
  • The "I am Spartacus" moment where all the Stormtroopers remove their helmets and join Finn would have been Iconic and worth more than the price of admission.
  • @SkyKingAzure
    Finn: making a purple lightsaber Samuel L Jackson: My man~
  • This was so much better. Shows how having consistent direction throughout the sequel trilogy would have been so much better than what we got. Great plot overall and having Finn convince his former brothers and sisters in arms to defect with him is a really beautiful message that the original missed out on (Phasma should've lived tho).
  • @redblue4127
    It's actually a lot cooler for Rey to be joining the fight with the resistance in an X wing because it gives her a moment of peace and shows her in her element, showing how and why she is a standout in her own ways, in spite of the fact that she was lacking in the force side of things. It's a cathartic moment for her and an instant vindication from everyone of her skill and worth to the team.
  • @rasengdori13
    A storm trooper becoming a Jedi and destroying the empire would have been incredible.
  • @oneupnerd
    It really seems like Finn was supposed to be the main character from the start. Not to mention his chemistry with Poe made the duo that much more enjoyable.
  • We were so close to a film where the main Jedi character wasn’t a flat out good guy but instead a person with a good heart forced to do horrible things, and redeeming himself by going against the empire he once served and fought under. This also could’ve been a chance to explore the force and how a persons emotions and past can affect their use of the force.
  • @kino._.mops.
    The force is strong with finn. He even learned talk no jutsu
  • Finn could have been a great protagonist if he wasn’t treated like a joke.
  • @KoyMcCloud
    What If Finn was the main character in the Star Wars Sequels - Short Answer: Disney would have a stroke.
  • This is WAY better than the original Sequel Trilogy. Finn has FAR better growth, Rey has a better character ark, Kylo Ren has a more meaningful/tragic backstory, my boy Luke is WAY better than he was in the original Sequel Trilogy, and "The Rise of Skywalker" actually lives up to the title. Well Done 👌🔥
  • @valinn13
    Watching Finn become a growing legend whispered among the ranks of the stormtroopers resulting in a massive defection at the end would have been awesome! But I would have liked to see Captain Phasma used to much better effect. This plotline short changes her just as badly as the movies did. She should have been Finn's recurring nemesis leading up to an emotion-fueled conflict in the third movie.
  • @yatespmx
    This sort of breaks my heart. Realizing how good these movies could have been.
  • @fumarc4501
    I had so much hope for Finn. Why Rey wasn’t just a Solo made me confused, and then forcing Palpatine on us when they have a whole Lost Tribe of Sith they could have deused on us instead.
  • @nateriver1005
    Luke: Take your weapon Finn: All I see are two lightsabers. There are no blasters here Luke: No Finn. This IS your weapon. It belonged to your father. It has ALWAYS belonged to you. You are a Windu Imagine how much the fans would have jumped for joy at the movies?
