Obscure details about Finn that the films don’t tell you
Finn’s squad in the First Order was the FN Corps, who were personally under the command of Captain Phasma. They were made up of FN-2187 (Finn/87), FN-2003 (Slip), FN-2199 (Nines), and FN-2000 (Zeros). Finn was the unofficial leader of the squad.
Finn was one of the best Stormtroopers that the First Order had ever trained and was recognized as Officer Material by Captain Phasma. General Hux had considered him Captain Material. Most of his superiors considered Finn a born leader.
Jakku was Finn’s first mission against the Republic, but Finn had gone on other missions before to other planets and had also completed simulations where his kill count would break records. Finn had no issues going to battle with the New Republic. In fact the biggest issue he had was the fact that he was always looking after his less competent squad mate Slip.
Finn would have been one of the best soldiers if it wasn’t for his inability to shoot or harm civilians. An issue that Zeros and Slips did not have. Only Nines did, but still followed Orders. Even though Finn could have been the best, he just couldn’t pull the trigger on a civilian.
Out of everyone is his squad, Finn is the only confirmed survivor. Slip was killed by Poe Dameron on Jakku, Nines had been killed by Han Solo on Takodana, and Captain Phasma had been killed by Finn on the Supremacy. Zeros may be the only survivor as his status is unconfirmed.
(Petition pending to get Michael B. Jordan to play Zeros)
Finn is specialized in all First Order equipment to the point of being a sharp shooter with a blaster, a master of the Z6 baton, almost all First Order weapons in general and being able to identity any weapon or tech of theirs. That is why he knew what model of tracker the First Order was using in TLJ and was able to identify the mini Death Star canon. Finn also has an almost perfect photographic memory due to being able to memorize the layout of both Starkiller base and the Supremacy with extreme accuracy.
Kylo Ren had been impressed with Finn‘s capabilities during their lightsaber duel on Starkiller to the point Kylo had to tap deeper into the dark side to beat Finn.
Finn is deeply conflicted about fighting Stormtroopers due to the fact that many of them didn’t have a choice in the matter of who they served under like him.
Finn is one of the most compelling protagonists of the franchise, right along with Ahsoka and Luke, because while he is the most dangerous to both sides of the war due to his skills and knowledge, he actively tries to save lives instead of end them. Finn’s upbringing left no room for love. He was stolen away from his family before he could even make memories of them. He tried to dedicate himself to the the First Order, but couldn’t. Finn chose to leave the only life he had known because he couldn’t let even one innocent life be senselessly killed.
Finn has earned the right to be called the sequel trilogy protagonist and I’m hoping Episode IX will bring this badass center stage again.
This👏🏼 was👏🏼 a👏🏼 joke.👏🏼 KIKÉ HERNANDEZ SET UP THIS PICTURE AND POSTED IT ON HIS TWITTER HIMSELF to make fun of how short he is. Literally the opposite of fragile masculinity. Everyone stop ruining his good name he is the sweetest goofball in all of baseball he deserves better I love him.
Sharing for context. I pretty much figured there was a joke here or you wouldn’t see the bucket.
July 10th, 1932: Antifaschistische Aktion, better known as Antifa, holds its first rally in Berlin.
July 10th, 2018: The GOP introduces the Unmasking Antifa Act of 2018 in the House, which aims to make antifascist activism punishable by fifteen years in prison.
If you’re not worried, you should be.
if antifa wasn’t a terrorist organization people would actually care.
“In more than 30 years of antifa activity, there has been one confirmed fatality caused by an antifa group member ― in 1993, when a Nazi in Portland, Oregon, was shot during a fight at a gas station. Far-right extremists, by contrast, were responsible for 670 fatalities, 3,053 injuries and 4,420 attacks in the United States from 1990 to 2012, according to a report from the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point.”
