Let's be honest here, NO ONE was looking forward to John Boyega before the movie. The thing is, then the movie came out, and we saw the potential of Finn as a character. And at the same time, watched them squander it, having him slaughter his former mates, the people he was fucking RAISED alongside, while screaming "DIDJU SEE THAT?!? DIDJU SEE THAT?!?"
"Traitor!!!" was the best part of that film, and I never bothered with the rest.
And this happened a DAY at most after he completely froze up in his first battle where one of his brothers-in-arms died in his arms. It was a shock to him that he fled the battlefield and practically deserted. Seriously, what the fuck? This is not how a regular human being acts. That's how a remorseless psychopath acts.
Hell, you want a story? Actually make the leap to make Finn an unaware Force-sensitive, and give him a minor version of The Exile's power, deeply bonding with those around him entirely by instinct. Eventually after breaking the conditioning, he deserts, rescuing Poe, and is deemed a traitor. As he tries to survive going forward, he's forced to kill a lot of First Order troopers, and causing so many of their deaths will feel like he's stabbed himself in the heart.
Fair enough, it's just the wasted potential thanks to contrived circumstances due to writing that turns me off more than diversity but the two come as a bundle set.
Like how they raise Boba in the mandalorian to knock him down in his own series or the recent Suicide Squad game. The only way they can make their characters 'look good' is to knock down the previous generation because they lack the talent to show it any other way.
