Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens is now just over two months away, and one of the characters fans are most excited about is Finn. Finn is played by John Boyega even though we know several details on him already (including that he is a Stormtrooper), new rumoured details have surfaced on the character.
The details are somewhat spoiler-y (depending on your point of view) so this is your official SPOILER alert warning, though these are rumours anyway and may not be accurate.

“The First Order isn’t huge on names, and much like the Empire before them, have all of their people go strictly by numbers and designations.” This tells you that Finn may not have a last name.
The reason Finn can use a lightsaber in The Force Awakens, without necessarily being Force sensitive (not to say that we know that he that isn’t) is that The First Order trains all their Stormtroopers to use both lightsabers and shields.”
The final detail is especially interesting, and it reads:
“Apparently Finn is Captain Phasma’s protégé of sorts. I don’t know to what degree, but it sounds like she takes the trooper under her wing during training. This would explain why Finn is part of a mission with Phasma and Kylo at the beginning of the movie, and could be part of the reason why she takes a more personal interest in tracking him down.”
Thoughts on the rumoured details? Are you excited about Finn’s character?

Interesting if true. Fin along with Rey and Poe are my favorite new heroes of The Force Awakens and the film is not even out yet. Can’t wait for TFA!!!
