10 Star Wars Fan Theories That Became Fact

Quickly capturing the attention of the masses during his often scene-stealing antics throughout The Force Awakens, it seemed to be written in the stars that Finn would play a hugely significant role in the fate of the galaxy by the time the Sequel Trilogy came to a close.

And while that ultimately turned out to disappointingly not be the case, with the one-time Stormtrooper often being sidelined in favour of more Reylo Force bonding, fans still refused to accept that the Force wasn't strong with this particularly underserved hero.

As it goes, Finn's proficiency with a lightsaber in Episode VII and abundance of "feelings" in The Rise of Skywalker all eventually paved the way for the revelation that he was actually Force-sensitive all along, as reportedly confirmed by those films' director J.J. Abrams at a fan Q&A.

Now sure, it still doesn't erase the fact that John Boyega was, as the actor himself would state, "pushed to the side" on the back of his first showing in the Sequels. But it at least added a slightly satisfying detail to Finn's overall character that seemed to pay-off hopeful fan theories that had been prevalent throughout the ill-fated trilogy.
