There is little doubt that most people are unhappy with what happened in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. But would it have been better if Episode IX kept Colin Trevorrow's original script? John Boyega believes so as he thinks Trevorrow's story arc for Finn would have been the best way to go.
In Trevorrow's screenplay for what would have been Star Wars: Duel of the Fates, Finn was supposed to "lead a rebellion on Coruscant, giving him a vastly more satisfying story arc as a result." Not surprisingly, Boyega admits he prefers this idea in an interview with Yahoo.
"I do actually. I think Colin Trevorrow was going to tell that story," Boyega said. "The concept art in the Star Wars book has the image of Finn with the blue flag and the AT-ATs and they have them lined up in tribal marks and the Stormtroopers take off their helmets. That would've been sick. That would've been dope, man, hands down."
It's no surprise that Boyega likes this story arc for his character. After all, it would have been an amazing development for Finn, who started out as a Stormtrooper. The idea that he would eventually go up against the First Order in a more radical way would have been truly fitting. Sadly, this is something we will never see in the future.
