10 Shocking (But Believable) Theories About Star Wars: The Last Jedi

2. Finn Is Force-Sensitive

The Force might be strong in more characters than you realise, because John Boyega's Finn seems to have demonstrated a Jedi-like sensitivity to the events unfolding around him in The Force Awakens.

Finn is the first Stormtrooper in the history of the Galactic Empire/First Order to overcome his mind programming and defect. Could this be because his Force-enhanced brain is impervious to the enemy's coercive techniques?

He's also one of the few non-Jedi characters to have successfully wielded a Lightsaber, and he holds his own during the battle with Kylo Ren for way longer than somebody sans Force abilities should be able to.

The fans are reading a lot into these things and have speculated about how his Force abilities will be built on in The Last Jedi. Some even believe he will go on to become a 'grey' Jedi like Rey.
