    No. Are you prejudice against defecting Stormtroopers?

    I'm suprised there aren't people here trying to find out what Finn is saying in that gif because he is clearly saying something

    "Whoo wahnh wee ahhh"

    Actually I think it is "Hey Rey why do you have such abnormally large teeth?"

    No wonder she needs the lightsaber. Can't remove the plaque buildup any other way.

    They either "think" he's a non force sensitive grunt or for whatever reason just "want" him to be one. :)

    I'd like to break down in an extensive and impractically obsessive way why Finn is more than likely a force sensitive.

    1. Of all the series (clone wars and rebels included), there has never been a time where only one main character is force sensitive.
    2. Writing only one Force sensitive without giving her a peer messes up the function of the Han Solo type character. You got the legacy Jedi, a hot shot fighter pilot, and then the former stormtrooper that used to shoot blasters and still does? That doesn't flow. If two guys are out of the loop how does that help with group chemistry? One of the criticisms of the PT I hear is that there's no Solo type character to help the world be more believable by pointing out how ridiculous it is. Well the opposite of that criticism would be true if there are too many Han Solos. If everyone is pointing out how strange things are how are we supposed to take anything seriously? Finn being force sensitive along with Rey would shake things up. . .a former Stormtrooper who's meant to be a Jedi? Tell me how that doesn't sound more interesting than a former stormtrooper there just to crack wise and shoot things.
    3. It gives Finn a purpose instead of just being the defecting ST with information. When that info is gone what can he bring to the table? If the force is strong with him he can give Luke another potential student in an defunct order that badly needs them. If he's not then his skills are depleted.
    4. What type of character can survive against a Sith in a lightsaber fight without the force being with him?
    5. Why give the first new lightsaber duel we've seen in 10 years to a non-force user?
    6. His look is an allusion to Luke's at the end of ANH. Take it for what it's worth.
    7. Teaser trailer 1. Why make the first image in 10 years of a new SW character be adjacent to the word "Force" just to later leave that association as coincidence. See 5.
    8. Someone needs to start at 0. Rey, if rumors are true, seems to already have some force knowledge. Finn is a blank slate much like Luke was. Both had a theoretical knowledge but are longing in experience.
    9. Early Variety reports and rumors of his Jediness long before the first teaser
    10. Former soldier turned Jedi would be a great mediator between Rey and Poe. Just saying.
    If there are more feel free to add some. I've gotten lazy.

    ^ [face_laugh] Dang where was that gif when I beat starocean at posting something?!?

    2) Sigh... John's photo of the Ground Zero memorial it's beautiful but so powerful.

    3) And Finn to Rey dialog running in the desert:

    "It's not my fault!"

    It would make sense idd. John said Finn was in incredible danger at the start of the movie and the way he reacts to that danger launches him into the Star Wars universe. If Finn defects because of second thoughts he's not really in danger before he defects. Same scenario as in him stealing the saber/vital information, he's not really in danger before he steals it.

    My guess is, something happens at the village raid that awakens his force-sensitivity. Kylo senses it but doesn't know who it is. Kylo is hellbound in finding this force-user whithin his ranks after the village raid, and in a desperate attempt to save himself Finn escapes with the aid of Poe.
    In Star Wars rebels we saw that the Empire used special methods for detecting force-sensitives, and as i recall the sister of Zare Leonis was taken away because of this.

    Good spot there!! That´s the closest thing to an official confirmation IMO. It was not a deal breaker for me but I´m sure Finn will be a great character even more now.

    It´s gonna be interesting to see how the handle it. And how both Rey and Finn move forward.

    I am happy for some of the fans here, surely you will sleep better tonight guys!

    What we know so far, first Finn gets the 'Bespin' lightsaber handed by Leia (as an advice of Rose), he keeps it for most of the movie until he needs to be saved by Rey. She then keeps it and brings it back to Luke, so Finn stays without a lightsaber at the end. There is also no scene with Rose as far as I remember, in which it seems that he starts his training. We even don't know if Rose is a Jedi at all. This is a quite strange symbolic solution for someone who is destined to be a Jedi. [face_dunno]

    I blame the lack of details. With what we know, based on the MSW info, you cannot say for certain if he is Force sensitive. But if trusted sites like SWU say he is, that´s because they have the details we lack. MSw said something about Rose special powers, which can very well show on screen she is a Jedi. And during the final scenes, Rey can say goodbye to Finn and wish him luck with Rose and the training.
