    Didn’t he piss off Disney after the new Star Wars trilogy? I seem to remember him making some comments that pissed some execs off.

    I’ll take your word for it. I’m not very familiar with the situation.

    To summarize the trilogy was a shit show with no real direction and they squandered Finn a legit interesting character that could have been a key character. The fact they made him at all capable in his fight against Kylo deeply implied he would be a Jedi and then they just pissed his storyline away.

    He gets easily defeated by Kylo Ren.

    I am with you on the overall wasting of potential there (he should have been Rey's first "apprentice" by the third movie), but at no point was he holding his own against Ren.

    He legitimately parrys multiple attacks and scores a hit on Kylo’s shoulder. That qualifies for “at all capable”. Rewatch the fight https://youtu.be/FJTz-ahXyyI?si=04DTYzUO2r-E72qu

    I mean he's a trained soldier, but he gets stomped by Kylo pretty convincingly, and Ren has JUST been shot with a bowcaster. Looking at this from a comic-book style "feats" discussion, he wouldn't be considered holding his own against Ren

    I have been thinking this since I first heard about it. Give the role to someone who got the short end of the stick but has the passion.
