They hated on the previous Star Wars films because they had women and people of color in leading roles
This must be why Mara Jade is the EU character I miss most and think Finn was by far the best part of The Force Awakens.
I liked him better when he was called Kyle Katarn, or The Hand of Judgement, but yeah, anyone in Mickey Wars would've made fine portrayals of EU characters, or would fit right in alongside them.

I didn’t realize you were a member of the 'alt right'? It goes like this: X has an opinion I disagree with (e.g. hates Disney Wars) = X is "alt-right", or "deplorable"... (AKA: Racist, sexist, etc.) ...and think Finn was by far the best part of The Force Awakens. Meh... I mean, I'm hard pressed to think about anything I particularly enjoyed about that movie. I suppose it wasn't as terrible as TLJ, but personally I didn't like Fin any more than anything else there. Let me put it this way: Finn had serious story potential that was utterly wasted when 1) he turned out not to be Force sensitive and 2) went on that utter waste of time of a storyline in TLJ.

I suppose. As it is I'm struggling to see the point of his character's inclusion, I mean, it's not like Rey needs his help... (or anyone else's for that matter...) That's just it, I figured they'd be a team. Fledgling Jedi taking on the "Totally Not An Empire Expy". New students for Luke. I mean, what's not to like about him? He's in a sh*tty situation who finally took a stand (albeit for selfish reasons). Circumstances kept pushing him to greater acts of heroism (with increasing hints that he could use the Force) until, for the sake of friendship, he embraced what he was becoming.

Circumstances kept pushing him to greater acts of heroism (with increasing hints that he could use the Force) until, for the sake of friendship, he embraced what he was becoming. I personally like the Finn character and apart from the force thing (which I don't think is really necessary) I think the second movie stays fairly close to what you like about him and is consistent to the first. He finishes TFA focused solely on Rey, he doesn't care about the rebels, he helps with Starkiller only because it takes him closer to getting Rey back. He starts TLJ right where he finished TFA thanks to a coma, focused on Rey. Through the movie he learns to embrace the bigger cause and become a hero. Isn't that what you just said you liked about him?

Can we mention spoilers in this thread? For the Solo movie, use Spoilers Other than that, fire away, I think. Everything else has been out long enough that spoilers shouldn't be an issue.

Since when did Finn have the förce? He doesn't but after TFA a lot of people thought the story was going to go in that direction. You just have to google 'finn force sensitive?' to find plenty of speculation about it between TFA and TLJ. Personally I find the "evidence" for Finn being all forcey a bit thin and easily explainable elsewhere, but I can see why others went there.

Found this interesting idea while I was browsing Tumblr for gifs and images. Could it be possible that the name "Crimson Dawn" is in reference to Dathomir's own sunrise?

Why is it always males? : The 'logic' in this post is making my head hurt. Re read it about five times and it still does not make heaps of sense to me. I suppose this MIGHT have to do with Kelley Marie Tran deleting her twitter account and since she is a woman...only men would oppose her? I doubt it.

Head canon by people who wanted a black lead non Mary Sue force user. FTFY They wouldn't of cared if Finn was a force user. At least a few of the people I know and seen on other Star Wars forums.

I'm still disappointed that they're making a Boba Fett movie (or probably will anyway).
Cad Bane is soooo much better.
