I think Finn is a very interesting character. Finn is going to represent that classic “Star Wars” story and that classic “Star Wars” narrative. We have all these new characters coming in, but Finn is going to be one of the characters that carries on the narrative that we all know from the original.
So, for me, it felt like it’s necessary for my guy to be introduced — and introduced with a bang — because his story is not as straightforward.
Everybody’s asking about the mystery of who Finn is. He’s a mysterious guy so far, and no one has any clue what’s going on with him.
So…the new Jedi….is a Stormtrooper?
I mean I know it shows him in the trailers as a Stormtrooper and all, but I got the impression he was pretending to be one to see what the Empire was up to.
But seriously as a writer myself, I would have never have thought of that.
