100 Days of Finn

Hi everyone! We’re swrebelfinn, a blog dedicated to bringing you Finn centric content for the 100 days leading up to the release of The Last Jedi. During these upcoming 100 days, show us your art, your fics, your headcanons, etc. focused on the one and only Finn!

We’ll be tracking #swrebelfinn and #100daysofFinn as well as #the last jedi and #tlj tags so make sure to put those tags within your first five tags, that way we can see them. You can also submit directly to our blog and we’ll post them for you. Have fun and show us all the cool things you have made! The rules can be found here.

Each day will have a reoccurring theme until the week of the premier. The reoccurring themes are as follows:

Finn Meta Mondays

Finn Family Tuesdays

Finn and The Call Wednesdays

Finn Ships Thursdays

Force Sensitive Finn Fridays

Finn Headcanon Saturdays

Finn Free Day Sundays.

The week of the premier of The Last Jedi, this blog will host a Finn week with a brand new set of themes so that we can appreciate our favorite character. We will put up a poll for the themes for that week in the next couple of days. You guys will have the chance to vote for them until the 1st of November, when we release the themes for the final Finn week.

We hope you guys have fun with this! And we cannot wait to see what you guys have made!

Answering The Call

I’ll keep this short because I’m in the midst of writing a fanfic exploring this but I wanted to talk about this image a little bit. Here we have a child gazing up at Finn in adoration - in open hero-worship. This isn’t surprising for any of us who’ve been keeping up with TLJ promo. “Everyone in the space, throughout the galaxy, would have heard about… the young former Stormtrooper who helped save the day,” Boyega says. “He’s a hero…,”. As this ill-titled EW article says, Finn has much of the galaxy and quite a bit of the resistance who view him as heroic. TLJ is supposed to explore whether Finn sees himself as a hero and what he plans to do about that. Now I know that I’ve read a lot about how Rose will help sway Finn into accepting his heroism, but I think that this sort of image hints on what will actually compel Finn into answering The Call. Finn knows what people want to hear and what people expect of him. He tells Poe what he believes a resistance pilot would want to hear when he breaks him out of the FO. He tells Rey what she wants to hear after she attacks him on Jakku. So if Rose needs Finn to seem heroic - he’s more than capable of giving that to her. This doesn’t mean he’s dishonest of course. He grew up in the FO so it’s logical for him to understand what someone expects of him and live up to those expectations - his life depended on that. But at the end of the day Finn sticks to certain expectations as long as they serve his end goal. He was a brave resistance member for Rey until he found the perfect opportunity to hop on a ship and get out of the FO’s dangerous path. I think Finn probably keeps working within the resistance until he is faced with a chance to make a clean break. I don’t think he would abandon them if they needed him for a mission, especially because there are people he cares about now within the resistance. But if Finn saw an opportunity to make a life for himself outside of this all consuming war - who would blame him? I don’t think he would blame himself because at the end of the day his actions were not motivated by saving the galaxy but by saving himself and the people he cares about. So when he sees the impact he’s made first hand, when he sees this child staring up at him with a smile and wonder in his eyes - I think that is when he will answer The Call. When he see’s the impact of his personal decisions on a larger group of people - not the people in the resistance (whose whole lives revolve around this galactic war) - I think that will put into perspective exactly how important he is & how much of a hero he can be if he chooses to be one.

He’s holding his helmet. A neon light in the shape of a rainbow is set on his chest plate, glowing in rainbow colors that reflect off the surrounding plastic. The background is purple and blue.]
