They made you think he was going to be an important character, then in the second movie he went on a useless side quest, then in the third movie he basically did nothing.
Didn't he do a suicide charge in order to protect everyone, only to be stopped because he was supposed to realize that he was supposed to be fighting for other people?
And somehow going way faster in her speeder than he was while doing a suicide charge.
Holdo and Luke were allowed to give up their lives to save others; but Finn? Absolutely not apparently. (Maybe there is a message there. If we're generous.)
Yeah I just thought they could’ve just wrote it so maul breaks out on his own then there’s no moral conundrum over if she’s responsible for the deaths by letting him out haha
she knew that letting maul out would cause many clones to die but she still does it to cause a distraction, even though she’s above killing the clones it’s apparently okay if she lets maul out to do it for her. See what I mean if they just wrote it so he escapes on his own then her saying not to kill the clones then immediately letting the guy loose who 100% will definitely kill everyone on the ship and does by causing it to crash wouldn’t sound hypocritical. Just my opinion haha but it did bother me abit when watching it haha
I honestly thought the end of Episode IX was heading for a great payoff for this. He found another deserter friend. The good guys were totally outnumbered by the bad guys. They were headed for some communications tower thing. OK, I thought, this is great: Finn is going to get on the comms and broadcast to every storm trooper: "You think you have to do this. But you don't. We got out. You can too. You have nothing to lose but your chains, etc!" The stormtroopers throw down their weapons, or turn them against the evil Nazi officers, the day is saved! Maybe they even realize everyone in the world has the Force and there is no need for Jedi, as set up in the previous movie! Sure, the journey was pretty bad, but the payoff seemed like it was going to be great.
But no. Lando from nowhere for no reason, le epic moment for some shitty CGI cartoon sidekick to fist-pump or whatever. I never understand when these writers line up the dominoes perfectly and then just kick everything down instead.

The Storm Trooper deserter was such a good starting point!
Totally wasted. In less than 24 hours, the deserter was shooting at his brother in arms shouting Woohoo.
It becomes a character I can’t comprehend or empathise with in less than 2 minutes of film.
