Reblog if you think Finn deserves to find his family, surname, and heritage after 20 years of being an oppressed child soldier
Everyone, including myself at times overlooks the fact that Finn had it the worst than everyone else and still draws the short straw in universe and out
Finn grew up with no family and was thrown into a child soldier program
Finn didn’t even have a name till he was given one as an adult
Finn was raised to kill
Finn was at best a weapon and at worst a slave
Finn wasn’t allowed any individuality
Rey, Kylo Ren, Poe, Hux, Phasmsa, Luke, Leia, Han, Finn has had it worse than anyone and after he manages to escape and DOES help blow up the super weapon he just wants to be free of war and death and live a somewhat peaceful life:
He’s called a coward and tazard by Rose
Forced into another mission he doesn’t really want to do
Lectured on how he doesn’t understand suffering and needs to stop being so selfish
And finally when there is a chance for him to find even a little peace in saving his friends at the cost of his life but at last be done with fighting, he’s denied even that and told he was wrong again.
Finn’s life is made up and defined by his lack of choices, being controlled by others, and sacrificing what he wants or what’s good for himself for others. Even in the fandom.
But no, let’s just keep portraying him as a cinnamon roll who is defined by who’s last name he gets to take. He’s a happy, seeet boy with no worries.
He’s a grown ass man who’s lives through hell.
I personally ship Finnrey, but I’d be just as happy if instead of ending up with anyone, Finn finds his family.
Maybe he was a child stolen from Jakku and since it’s clear from Rey the universe doesn’t care about Jakku, no one ever asked where he went. Plus the irony of Finn being from Jakku would be Rey and Poe both giving Finn a knowing shit eating grin that he’s from the planet he constantly talks shit about.
Maybe Finn is a Mandalorion and has a family in Sabine Wren. Because why not? Rey can be everything from a Skywalker, to a Kenobi, Emperor’s grandaughter, but Finn, an elite soldier with a natural gift for fighting and adapting to any situation can’t be from a civilization of warrior?
Maybe Finn is related to Windu, or Lando, or maybe he’s royalty and is actually a prince. Maybe he’s just some kid stolen from a simple family who miss him.
Regardless, Finn deserves his OWN story arc, family, and happy ending.
