Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Final Trailer Breakdown - 14 Things Fans Need To See
13. Finn Knows How The Force Works
Lucasfilm
In a shining example of a character arc coming full circle, it finally looks as though Finn knows how the Force works which, given his exchange with Han Solo in The Force Awakens, is actually quite sweet.
Finn describes the Force as an "instinct... a feeling", and the binding energy that brought him together with his friends in the Resistance. It would be too soon to say that he's Force sensitive off the back of those comments, but it does illustrate how the character has fully committed to the cause following his near-sacrifice in The Last Jedi.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
