Finn A “Big Deal” In Star Wars Episode VIII
As we draw ever closer to Christmas, we get ever closer to the arrival of Star Wars Episode VIII, and through the wait, we get closer to getting new details on just what might happen in it. One of the biggest questions coming out of Episode VII was about how the former Stormtrooper known as Finn would affect events after his injury and defecting from the First Order. Turns out, he’s a “big deal”. Or at least, that’s what his actor John Boyega has said to Entertainment Weekly:
““The funny thing is, between VII and VIII, Finn’s now a big deal! He is now a big deal. Imagine that – you get taken down by Kylo Ren,” Boyega shared. “Think about what the gossip’s going to be like in the Resistance. ‘Oh, that’s the guy that got sashed down by Kylo?’”
In a new bit of information though, we know he’s going to be teaming up with new character Rose Tico for a mission for the Resistance: “It’s Finn and Rose, they’re on a massive adventure. It’s a big mission they need to complete,” he revealed. “The Resistance is under immense pressure, and it’s time for them to get a bit of help. That’s where Finn and Rose come in, and they’re thrust into a crazy adventure.”
