The Star Wars franchise has a history of handling its characters with mixed results, and the Sequel Trilogy is no exception. John Boyega's character, Finn, was initially teased as a potential Jedi, only to be relegated to a comedic sidekick role. In The Last Jedi, his plotline was underdeveloped, and in The Rise of Skywalker, his story was left incomplete. The actor's return to the franchise, rumored for some time, could finally give Finn the arc he deserves. If Boyega reprises his role, he might finally get to reveal his secret to Rey, which could be that he is, in fact, a Jedi. This would not only provide closure to Finn's character but also address the disappointment of fans who were left hanging in the previous films. The actor's confirmation of discussions with Lucasfilm president Dave Filoni further strengthens the possibility of his return. Whether it's a movie or a TV series, Finn's journey as a Jedi could be a compelling addition to the Star Wars universe, offering a fresh perspective and a satisfying conclusion to his character's story. The Sequel Trilogy's mishandling of Finn's potential as a Force-sensitive character is a missed opportunity, and his return could help rectify this, providing a much-needed boost to the franchise's storytelling.
