And the heroes still remorselessly massacre them by the thousands. What’s up with that

It’s like they wanted a reason for Finn to be totally innocent instead of like just a guy who bought into First Order propaganda and then defected when he saw the reality of it, but didn’t think about what that meant for every other stormtrooper

Finn is cute but it's weird how he happily murders his class comrades instead of rallying them to the resistance

The dude is objectively charismatic, he could probably bring a bunch of troopers over.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

TBF he would've been keenly aware of the First Order's "Shoot first and let the midichlorians sort them out" policy so it's kill or be killed unless being captured is convenient to the plot.

Also I think the whole stolen-and-trained-from-birth thing was supposed to be some kind of inverse of Jedi recruitment, and having Finn and the other defector(s?) say they could feel their midichlorians is yet another potentially interesting angle that went nowhere

lol yeah coming out of TROS one of my friends pointed out "uhhhhhh so they really took care to hammer home that the FO are going around abducting children all over the place to fill out their ranks, how many of those kids wound up on the death penis armada that got completely blown the gently caress up at the end?"
