Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer Breakdown And Analysis

This past Monday, Disney, Lucasfilm and director J.J. Abrams unleashed what's being called the final trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and damn near broke the internet in the process. Fans were left so excited by what they saw that the surge in pre-sales for IMAX screenings shattered records, and caused several sites to crash.

Finally we have the shot that’s excited fans the most, and confirmed that Finn was indeed lighting up that saber to take on Kylo Ren in the brief teaser from a few months back.

So is Finn a Jedi? My guess is, no – that’ll be Rey. Finn may be skilled in melee combat and simply fancied his chances – remember you don’t have to be a Jedi to wield a lightsaber as evidenced by Han Solo’s Taun-Taun belly slice in The Empire Strikes Back – but he definitely looks like he’s in way over his head here.

There’s always the possibilty Finn is also force-sensitive, but my money’s on Rey emerging as the new all-powerful Jedi, and successor to (her father?) Luke Skywalker.
