Star Wars: Episode 8 - 10 Major Twists That Could Shake The Galaxy
6. Finn Reverts To His Stormtrooper Programming
The more that I think about Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the more that something doesnt seem to fit regarding John Boyegas Finn. Out of all The First Orders Stormtroopers, is he really the only one thats ever grown a conscience? And wasnt it a bit easy for him to steal a TIE fighter, escape, and join The Resistance? Is he truly free from his programming?
It might be considered a long shot, but it feels like there could be more to Finn than meets the eye. What if someone within The First Order wanted him to escape, in order for him to infiltrate enemy ranks and later take down The Resistance from within? What if Finn is a villain waiting to happen? Stranger things have occurred in sci-fi cinema.
This would raise a big question, though who orchestrated Finns crisis of conscience? Its hard to predict that one, but doesnt it seem like Gwendoline Christies Captain Phasma went a little easy on him? She did allow him to wander around despite his noncompliance, and didnt put up much of a fight when he later cornered her and told her to lower the shields. Maybe shes just biding her time, and will reactivate Finns Stormtrooper programming when the time comes to crush The Resistance once and for all
