Obscure details about Finn that the films donât tell you
Finnâs squad in the First Order was the FN Corps, who were personally under the command of Captain Phasma. They were made up of FN-2187 (Finn/87), FN-2003 (Slip), FN-2199 (Nines), and FN-2000 (Zeros). Finn was the unofficial leader of the squad.
Finn was one of the best Stormtroopers that the First Order had ever trained and was recognized as Officer Material by Captain Phasma. General Hux had considered him Captain Material. Most of his superiors considered Finn a born leader.
Jakku was Finnâs first mission against the Republic, but Finn had gone on other missions before to other planets and had also completed simulations where his kill count would break records. Finn had no issues going to battle with the New Republic. In fact the biggest issue he had was the fact that he was always looking after his less competent squad mate Slip.
Finn would have been one of the best soldiers if it wasnât for his inability to shoot or harm civilians. An issue that Zeros and Slips did not have. Only Nines did, but still followed Orders. Even though Finn could have been the best, he just couldnât pull the trigger on a civilian.
Out of everyone is his squad, Finn is the only confirmed survive. Slip was killed by Poe Dameron on Jakku, Nines had been killed by Han Solo on Takodana, and Captain Phasma had been killed by Finn on the Supremacy. Zeros may be the only survivor as his status is unconfirmed.
(Petition pending to get Michael B. Jordan to play Zeros)
Finn is specialized in all First Order equipment to the point of being a sharp shooter with a blaster, a master of the Z6 baton, almost all First Order weapons in general and being able to identity any weapon or tech of theirs. That is why he knew what model of tracker the First Order was using in TLJ and was able to identify the mini Death Star canon. Finn also has an almost perfect photographic memory due to being able to memorize the layout of both Starkiller base and the Supremacy with extreme accuracy.
Kylo Ren had been impressed with Finnâs capabilities during their lightsaber duel on Starkiller to the point Kylo had to tap deeper into the dark side to beat Finn.
Finn is deeply conflicted about fighting Stormtroopers due to the fact that many of them didnât have a choice in the matter of who they served under like him.
Finn is one of the most compelling protagonists of the franchise, right along with Ahsoka and Luke, because while he is the most dangerous to both sides of the war due to his skills and knowledge, he actively tries to save lives instead of end them. Finnâs upbringing left no room for love. He was stolen away from his family before he could even make memories of them. He tried to dedicate himself to the the First Order, but couldnât. Finn chose to leave the only life he had known because he couldnât let even one innocent life be senselessly killed.
Finn has earned the right to be called the sequel trilogy protagonist and Iâm hoping Episode XI will bring this badass center stage again.
