Has This Star Wars: The Force Awakens Character Spotlight Revealed Finn's Lineage & The Film's Greatest Secret?


Warning: Major spoiler alert!!!

A few days ago, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy confirmed that the Star Wars saga films will focus on the Skywalker family, but despite that reveal, she didn't say anything about the juicier details like: Which of the young heroes will be the latest Skywalker? Or if there will be more than one?

Now, we found a new character profile from Allposters that may offer some clues about one of the film's biggest secrets.

Let's check that again:

As you can see in this character spotlight, Finn is rumored to have Skywalker ancestry, but as rumor mill currently stands, doesn't everyone?

Also, note that this isn't an official blurb, it came from an email advertising of All Posters' Star Wars shopfront. Although we've seen Finn wield a blue lightsaber in the teaser before, Disney or Lucasfilm haven't responded to the validity of this rumor. Maybe Allposters know something that we don't.

If it's true that Finn is a Jedi in waiting, this scene is pretty obvious, because as John Boyega discussed in an interview with GQ:

Finn is dope. His story is so epic. It's a story that's never been seen before, but it also mirrors the stories of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. And he's quirky and charismatic and funny. For me, he was the best character in the script.

"...but it also mirrors the stories of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo." Since Rey and Finn double as Han and Luke, this makes perfect sense.

So do you think Finn is strongly connected with the Skywalkers? What do you think about this character spotlight?

Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be released in theaters on December 18.
