Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 10 Moments From The Trailers (Not In The Movie)

2. "Nothing To Fight For"

The Trailer Moment: Even though he was seen in stormtrooper armour and all the rumours suggested he was a stormtrooper, people were still unsure if Finn was a stormtrooper, so the Final Trailer cleared things up by detailing his defection, along with some motivation: "I was raised to do one thing, but I've got nothing to fight for." Where Was It? Another bit of dialogue from the Final Trailer that didn't make it into the movie, this was presumably how was going to explain his predicament to Poe, but it doesn't really fit the pair's more banterous relationship (the "You need a pilot." "I need a pilot" exchange works much better). The backstory regarding Finn is still delivered though, just in a different way - to Poe when discussing his name and by Phasma after his defection.
