Honestly, I rather expect that he's going be Force Sensitive himself (albeit with less raw power than Ben or Rey), though I expect that won't be revealed until Episode X.Dansen said:Finn barely sows up in the trailer yet again. He gets to fight Captain Phasma, yay? Po features more prominently. Seems a bit strange that they are giving Boyega's character the cold shoulder. I am left wondering what they are going to do with his character?
They already revealed it when he activated a lightsaber. Only Force sensitive people can activate them.Asita said:Honestly, I rather expect that he's going be Force Sensitive himself (albeit with less raw power than Ben or Rey), though I expect that won't be revealed until Episode X.Dansen said:Finn barely sows up in the trailer yet again.

If that was ever canon, I really doubt it still is.Silentpony said:Asita said:Honestly, I rather expect that he's going be Force Sensitive himself (albeit with less raw power than Ben or Rey), though I expect that won't be revealed until Episode X.Dansen said:Finn barely sows up in the trailer yet again.

I don't know where that particular myth came from. They're activated by a simple switch or button. They aren't gene locked. Anyone can use a lightsaber. Grievous, Han Solo, Boba Fett, Pre Viszla (CGI Clone Wars series), Cad Bane (Also from the Clone Wars), Anja Gallandro (Young Jedi Knights) and even a random thief are shown using them, and none of them were Force Sensitive (speculation about Han notwithstanding). All tiers of 'classic' canon showed this.Silentpony said:They already revealed it when he activated a lightsaber.

Me neither. I wish they had just skipped to a point like a century after the Original Trilogy, with all but a select few of the old characters dead and solely entirely new characters, with the old ones mentioned in passing if at all. Let's get a cast of completely new characters we can get attached to, ones who can't and thus don't have to ride off the coattails of the old characters we know and love in order to have any value whatsoever. The Force Awakens and Rogue One relied far too much upon nostalgia baiting to reel in the audience, and I'm hoping they'll do better soon.Johnny Novgorod said:I never got to care for any of the new characters.
No, that's not a cute marketing tool. This is a cute marketing tool.Programmed_For_Damage said:I'm even psyched by the Porg. I know it's just a cute merchandising tool, but unfortunately it's worked. It's just so adorable!
Um, Han briefly uses Luke's lightsaber in Empire. Grievous is another example of technology compensating for lack of Force ability.Silentpony said:They already revealed it when he activated a lightsaber. Only Force sensitive people can activate them.
Careful now. I think marketing's got you by the, ahem, balls.DefunctTheory said:There's an evil BB-8 (BB-9E)! I want one!

It's not that non-Force sensitives can't activate or use lightsabers, it's that lightsabers suck as weapons for non-Force sensitives, largely because most other people would be using blasters. Without the Force to predict blaster fire, it's a case of bringing a sword to a gun fight.
How do you survive that you ask? Why, the power of MERCHANDISING of course!inu-kun said:Also what's up with Chrome stormtrooper, wasn't she trapped on a room in a planet that exploded? How the heck you survive that?
That's why I've cleverly bankrupt myself. They can't market to you if you don't have any money.Hawki said:Careful now. I think marketing's got you by the, ahem, balls.DefunctTheory said:There's an evil BB-8 (BB-9E)! I want one!
