John Boyega briefly discussed Colin Trevorrow's plans for Finn in Star Wars: Episode IX, which would have seen a Stormtrooper rebellion.
“Boyega discussed how Trevorrow’s Episode IX would have seen Finn leading a stormtrooper revolution on the planet Coruscant. ‘I think Colin Trevorrow was going to tell that story,’ he said. ‘That image of Finn with the blue flag, and you have the AT-ATs lined up with tribal marks, and the stormtroopers take off their helmets’….[Episode IX] would have reportedly differed from The Rise of Skywalker in a number of key areas: Kylo Ren was the main villain while Palpatine only had a hologram cameo, Kylo Ren was the one who killed Rey’s parents (who were nobodies, much like he told her in The Last Jedi), Rose Tico led a heist on a Star Destroyer and Force ghosts of Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda aided Rey in her battle with Kylo Ren, who was eventually ‘extinguished’ without any sort of redemption arc.”
See, that’s what we WANTED!
this is how it should have been.
