I found Rian Johnson’s treatment of Finn very racist. He didn’t bother to develop the character’s relationship with Rey. His portrayal of Finn’s recovery from his wounds struck me as insensitive, cartoonish, and offensive. Johnson seemed unable to make up his mind on what Finn’s character arc was supposed to be about.

He allowed Rose to label Finn as “cowardly”, because the latter wanted to leave the Resistance ship and warn Rey about the First Order. Apparently, Johnson thought it was okay for Rose to coerce Finn into remaining with The Resistance for “character development”. This goes completely against how Lucas portrayed Han Solo’s reluctance to the Rebel Alliance in “A New Hope”. Although Luke tried to convince Han in remaining, Leia pointed out that Han had every right to make his own decision. I guess Johnson thought otherwise when it came to Finn.

But when Johnson had Rose lecture Finn about the evils of slavery, when he had been forced into becoming a stormtrooper ever since he was a child , I found her lectures ridiculous. This is not me bashing Rose’s character. This is me bashing Rian Johnson’s writing. Johnson kept creating scenes that gave Rose an opportunity to lecture Finn for the slimmest reasons. It seemed as if he wanted audiences to believe that Rose knew Finn better than he knew himself. This makes me wonder if Johnson viewed non-white people - especially those of African descent - as “childlike”. It certainly felt that way, when I last watched “The Last Jedi”. This was only confirmed when it was acknowledged that most of the scenes the rian deleted were about Finn.
