[image description: fan art of finn from the Star Wars sequel trilogy. He is kneeling on a surface, placing one hand in front of him, palm down. Blue ripples spread out from his hand. In the other hand floats a shining cube. He smiles down with peacefully shut eyes. End description.]
[ID - An art nouveau style image of Finn in an orange cloak with a Resistance insignia, holding a blue lightsaber. The image also lists the dates and themes for Finn Week 2022, which are also outlined in the post.]

Gen, any shipping, nsfw, etc are all allowed, but please tag appropriately on Tumblr (eg. nsfw, gore) and ensure any 18+ content or fics over 500 words are under a cut. If you’re linking to a fic on an external site like AO3 with its own tagging system, then a cut is not necessary.
There’s no minimum word count/level of polish, or minimum number of days. Post for one day, post for all seven days! It’s up to you. Sketches, drafts, or other pieces you might decide to work on more later are also fine.
Late posts (not during the week or on the associated theme day) are also very ok.

For day 2 of @finn-week, another speed paint this time of an elderly Jedi Finn.
I always enjoy thinking about my favorite characters aging - being able to live and grow old and have many experiences. However, aging also does take courage, changes happen, your mind isn’t as sharp, you can’t move as well or as easily as you used to. Aging happens to everyone, but accepting it takes courage and self-understanding. My grandmother died earlier this year at the age of 105. Because Finn is a Jedi, he could likely live well beyond 105, but for this image I’m going to say he’s 105. I don’t know what the galaxy would look like in this time, decades after the sequel events, but I know Finn would be there and trying to help ♥️
