In the early day ofStar Wars ’ subsequence trilogy , it seemed as though Finn was being set up to become an unlikely Jedi not dissimilar toLuke Skywalkerhimself , from his successful usage of a lightsaber during a battle with Kylo Ren to a moment of ego - sacrifice that was incredibly remindful of something Luke did years prior . While essentially all of Finn ’s accomplishments were in effect swept under the carpeting by the last of the subsequence saga , that moment where he was willing to give himself for the betterment of the Galax urceolata inThe Last Jediwas totally transform by Luke ’s similar act of heroism as Skywalker was able to give that moment the implication it merit .
InStar warfare : Episode VIII - The Last Jedi , the First Order is snipe the Resistance with a elephantine carom that nearly meant the end of the heroic forces battlingthe greatest evil in theStar Warsuniverseat that fourth dimension . In an endeavour to save everyone , Finn hop into a ship and speeds towards the cannon . Finn meant to smash into the artillery at full speed and destroy it , though that would have meant killing himself in the process . Before he is capable to finish his mission , Finn is T - bone by another ship fell by Rose Tico .

InStar war : Vader Down#1 by Jason Aaron and Mike Deodato , Darth Vader is set up an assault on the Rebel Alliance , and among the Rebels is none other than Luke Skywalker . Darth Vader had been search for Skywalkerafter sensing Luke ’s connexion with the Force upon their former encounter . However , Vader would quickly come to rue going drumhead - to - head with Luke on this occasion . While flying their respective ships on the fringe of a nearby satellite ’s aura , Luke Skywalker sees an opportunity to rid the galaxy of perhaps the gravid menace there is and decide to ram his ship into Vader’s – an act that nearly killed them both .
Luke Skywalker ’s actions in this issue are incredibly reminiscent of Finn ’s inThe Last Jedi , and both shew the same point . While ritual killing for the enceinte good seemed like the right thing to do in both case , it ultimately would have been a fault if successful . If Finn had drink down himself while taking out a dangerous laser cannon , then he would n’t have been around for the terminal installment of the serial where he helped annihilate theplanet - obliterating Star Destroyers in the Emperor ’s fleet . Similarly , if either Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader died during Luke ’s assault , then the Emperor would have reigned supreme since , in the end , it took the combined might of Luke and Vader to beat the Emperor .
While both of these scenes should be every bit pregnant since both achieve the same purpose , Luke ’s shines a much - needed light on Finn ’s since Finn ’s own films go bad to do so . If Finn had gone on to play a large function in the subsequence trilogy as many fans thought he would , then his failure to sacrifice himself inThe Last Jediwould have made more of a deviation to the overall tarradiddle . While Finn help oneself in taking down the Emperor , Rey and Kylo Ren were still the 1 to deliver the final blows , so Finn support throughThe Last Jedididn’t mean nearly as much as Luke and Vader ’s endurance in this exit . However , because Luke did the same matter Finn would do age afterward , their stories are connect asFinn ’s journeying suddenly echoesLuke Skywalker’sin a way that is surprising give the lack of focus on Finn ’s overall tarradiddle inStar warfare ’ sequel trilogy while also transforming Finn ’s sacrifice into something that is far more significant than it to begin with seemed .
