Finn the Fashionable

Finn was NOT impressed on Canto Bight. He was amazed and horrified because he had never seen such terrible looks - he could NOT believe it.

Poe and BB-8 showed Finn a holo of Holdo's outfit and his naturally fashion-savvy brain short-circuited so he just said, "...what???"

On Canto Bight he was about to open his mouth and say, "Hey, now I know where Holdo got her outfit."

Finn said, "THIS is the ugly shit they do with all of their money and freedom?? We're coming back to steal all of their money after we burn the order down."

#RESISTANCE LEADER FINN

The island. Life. Death and decay, that feeds new life. Warmth. Cold. Peace. Violence. And between it all? Balance and energy. A force. And inside you? Inside me, that same force.

You Should Have Listened To Finn Star Wars

Finn: Guys, guys, I’m serious. We need to run. You don’t know the First Order like I do. They’ll destroy us all!

Resistance, Rian Johnson, a disturbing number of fans: OMG Finn! You’re such a coward! You have no place in this story! I hate you! 

The First Order: Somehow magically comes back immediately from having their super-size me Death Star blown up, take over the galaxy with basically 0 effort, destroys the Resistance until it’s just like 20 people in a space weed van. 

Finn:

actually tlj canonized rey solo because nothing screams sibling behavior like being caught with some household item of importance (coffee pot, light fixture, supreme leader, etc) that you just broke, and lying and saying your sister did it

Also Kyle Ron saying that Rey comes from nothing is basically the equivalent of that “mom and dad found you in the garbage” thing that all older siblings try to pull.

POINTS OF ORDER:

6. Went up against a whole army alone in a rematch with Kylo/was the one(1) person there who wanted to help

finnrey + being peak romance

how can anyone seriously think the prequels are worse than tlj? the prequels clearly suffered from poor direction of otherwise talented actors and bad dialogue, but tlj suffers from bad dialogue, bad characterization, AND unbelievably bad story telling which i’d argue is infinitely worse than even the most questionable moments or greatest sins of the prequels.

even if hayden christiansen’s performance as anakin left a lot to be desired thanks to george’s shitty dialogue and directing, we could understand why anakin did things and why his character developed the way it did (ex. his murder of his mother by the tusken raiders). the prequels looked and felt like star wars bc they were george’s movies, the jedi presence/lore in them was fascinating, the music was incredible, the new planets and aliens fit and were interesting, the balance between new and old was perfect, and the fight between qui-gon, obi-wan, and darth maul at the end of episode 1 is one of the best and most intense scenes in the franchise. even episode 2, up until this moment seen as the longest and most pointless star wars film, becomes desirable and exciting after having to sit through two and half hours of tlj’s pointless, dragging plot about LITERALLY (1) event that changes next to nothing about the overarching plot of the sequel films while simultaneously destroying the characterizations of rey, finn, and poe that were established in tfa.

the prequels are far from perfect and there’s plenty that can be said about them re: race and gender. but i never in my life want to hear a star wars fanboy complain about jar jar after we had to watch fucking bb8 pilot a walker bc rian johnson couldn’t write his way out of his own shitty plot.

tlj is far and away the worst star wars movie of all time and i’ll fight anybody who tries to negatively compare it to phantom menace. even mark hamill hates this movie. what more do yall need to know???

One thing the Prequels did and where tlj utterly failed is that they do a ton of world building. For all their flaws they were really good at that and oddly enough it was the foundation for the majority of critique levied against them, but also their whole purpose. They add a ton of political and social background to the Star Wars universe so that we now know why the Original Trilogy happens and why it happens the way it does.

Now TFA didn’t do a whole lot of world building either, but that’s acceptable because it was the first movie and its purpose more than anything is to get people engaged in the story. And we do get what we need to understand it, even if people are surly about the lack of details (I’m pissy too for the record). But this was there TLJ should have picked up and instead of spending so much time riding Kylo Ren’s dick had added to the lore. How did the First Order arise and why? How and why did the Republic ignore them until now? What the hell is going on the Snoke and the Knights of Ren and how did Kylo even decide to join Snoke. Before anyone drags out the lightsaber in the hut scene for the latter, the movie made it pretty clear that Kylo had already turned by then, he was just revealed before he was ready to reveal himself, but the movie tells us nothing of why or how that happened.

Heck how did Leia go about building the Resistance, with a fleet like that she should have had some freinds but we never hear about that or well, anything.

Of course TLJ didn’t need answer every question we still have one more movie to go, but it didn’t answer a single one. Even Rey’s parentage is still an open question, it couldn’t even manage that much.

At the end of the day TLJ is a meaningless middle part that adds absolutely nothing to the story that wasn’t already there, it’s badly written with inconsistent characterization and a shit ton of racism and misogyny. All it managed was to kill off Snoke and Luke and considering how really underwhelming those two scenes were that could have happened off screen or in the EU and we would be the same place. My guess is that when we have the full “trilogy” you can remove TLJ completely and lose absolutely nothing important in understanding the story, where with the Prequels for all their flaws are pretty crucial to understanding the Star Wars universe.

Now I’m not much of a shipper at all, but i’m honestly surprised how many people think Rey and Finn aren’t a thing after the last Jedi. I ended up talking to so many people about that I’m just gonna make a post of my thoughts copy and pasted from one of my conversations!. BEWARE OF SPOILERS and let’s have a nice discussion, not trying to tear down any ships, just chipping in my thoughts!!!

Keep reading

Friendly reminder that if Rey were in love with Kylo Ren, or even remotely cared about him, she would have dragged him a few feet with her to Snoke’s escape craft rather than leave him on a burning, exploding ship that had just been cut in half.

She cried over Finn body as a plant was crumpling around them , she was ready to die with the boy she just meet . She left Kylo ass alone and ship that could blow up and minute .

Sometimes a red room is just a red room. What an extraordinary concept. No further meaning other than red is an ominous color and fits the theme of the Dark Side? Not to symbolize a vulva?

How… fucking straight up stupid. Reylo’s truly are the stupidest fucking sub-fandom in Star Wars.

Snoke’s throne room: Is red because he First Order color scheme is black, white, and red. Red symbolizes the darkside.

Reylos: IT SYMBOLIZES SEX!!!! THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE SEXY!!!! SHRIVELED ASS SNOKE MADE HIS THRONE ROOM RED BECAUSE OF THE SEXUAL TENSION BETWEEN KYLO AND REY!!!!

Star wars has always had red symbolizing sex. Couldnt you feel the aggressive sexual tension when darth vader fought his son with his throbbing red lightsaber.

How fucking dare you make me read that.

everyone is ignoring the obvious here 

This seems to be a regular reylow thing, just... cutting out the context of everything that came before to fixate on the end result. “Omg bridal carry!!!” Um, she’s only being carried because he assaulted her and rendered her unconscious. “He knows everything about her!!” Because he stole that info from her mind, Karen. Consent doesn’t seem to matter very much to shippers and that’s worrying. Consent only becomes super duper important when it comes to Finn because they constantly harp on how Rey told him to stop taking her hand--while disregarding the fact that she later willingly held his hand multiple times, hugged him, lay on top of him to die with him. Their racism is so fucking transparent.

No, Finn doesn’t know any biographical facts about Rey that she didn’t choose to disclose to him, and he didn’t pry or force disclosure from her because he’s not a controlling creep like Kylo. This is what’s known as normal, respectful human behavior. Reylos could try romanticizing that for a change.

Why canon Finnrose is a bust: Finn is not a fixer-upper

Canon Finnrose is a no-go for me because it is portrayed as an unhealthy and unequal relationship, in what I believe is a deliberate antithesis to Finnrey. Rey accepts Finn exactly as he is and vice versa, while Rose loves her idea of Finn and will make him conform to it using violence if necessary. I don’t think anyone needs to spell out which is the better relationship.

People compare the first meetings of Finn with Rey and Rose and the fact that they started with assault. While I am not thrilled about that and both directors deserve a slap upside the head, when you look closely the two incidents are actually opposites of each other. Rey attacked Finn when she had a mistaken idea of who he was, a thief and possible murderer, but Rose attacked Finn when she realized who he truly was, someone who hadn’t committed his life unconditionally to her cause. When Rose realized he didn’t match her idea of him as a hero, she lashed out at him.

The contrast couldn’t be clearer from when Rey discovered potentially disappointing information about Finn. When Rey is told Finn’s worst secret that reveals his innermost self, she pleads with him not to go. It’s not a Resistance hero she wants, it’s Finn.

*Rolls eyes* By your own logic, Rey’s behaviour should be seen as worse than Rose’s. A white woman trying to beat up a black man just because she jumped to wrong JACKET related conclusions. *gasps*

The reach, man.

I don’t think that Finnrose will happen, but not because Rose was too “mean” to Finn. The actors had no chemistry so it will probably be dropped in TRoS. But arguing that Rose doesn’t deserve precious Finn is laughable.

Rey’s behavior should be seen as worse than Rose’s because of the color of her skin? The fake woke is about on the level of “Finnrose is the more progressive ship because Rose is a WOC.” Funny how you can’t be bothered to read and argue from what I actually wrote but do have the time to leave this inane comment.

Also funny how every single time I criticize Rose I get reylow idiots like you in my notes demeaning Finn. Her tasing him, berating him, and making jokes at his expense are seen as nbd and the idea that she was awful to him is downright laughed at. Don’t think I don’t see what’s happening, that your crowd pissed yourselves with joy at his being mistreated with authorial sanction on screen and can’t bear to have it called out for what it was.

I had to laugh when I read your comment. Protect poor poor Finn against that nasty tasering bully! Oh, the poor man! Do you actually think that Finn would agree with your assessment of Rose?

Anyway, stay safe. And don’t let TRoS upset you too much. I have an inkling that I will enjoy it more than you will.

If you think friends can’t bully each other and everything that happens between friends, even close friends, should be dismissed with a laugh, you’re frankly not that healthy a person to be around.

Like does your crowd have any other insult than “wait until the next movie nyah nyah?” What kind of boring people build their entire sense of superiority around supposedly being right about a movie? If the movie demeans Finn for laughs again of course you’ll enjoy it more than I will, and frankly that says a lot about you.
