The Theory

Luke may be the Last Jedi, but The Force Awakens is full of other Force-sensitive individuals, from Rey to Kylo Ren.

... And John Boyega's Finn if this fan theory is to be believed.

The Evidence

Remember the promo images that were released ahead of The Force Awakens? Finn was clutching a Lightsaber in half a dozen of them, which hints at Force capabilities.

Furthermore, subscribers to this theory insist that there are numerous scenes in Episode VII where the defected Stormtrooper demonstrates a Jedi-like sensitivity to the events unfolding around him.

One of those instances is the battle with Kylo Ren, in which he hold his own against his opponent for way longer than somebody sans Force abilities possibly could.

A lot is also being made of Finn becoming the first Stormtrooper in the history of the First Order to defect, with theorists arguing that his budding Jedi-like skills made him impervious to the enemy's mind conditioning.

Could Finn end up joining Rey as one of those 'grey' post-Jedi Force users?
