Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker - 26 WTF Moments

9. Finn Is Force Sensitive

In addition to implying that Finn still carries a torch for Rey, there's another bizarre, incomplete subplot which the poor guy is forced to suffer through.

It's implied several times throughout the film that Finn is indeed Force-sensitive, as he explains to new recruit Jannah (Naomi Ackie) that his "feelings" have been guiding him on his adventures since abandoning the First Order.

Though the film stops short of having Finn perform any significant Force maneuvers, the implication is clear.

Except, after having Finn get trounced while wielding a lightsaber in The Force Awakens and doing nothing even vaguely Force-related in The Last Jedi, it does feel rather shoehorned.

More to the point, this is another aspect of the movie where Abrams clearly lacked the courage of his convictions.

Either make Finn a Force user in a major way and finally do proper justice to him, or don't even hint at it. This wishy-washy half-measure was just frustrating and a real head-scratcher from a creative perspective.
