I
think Finn is a very interesting character. Finn is going to represent
that classic “Star Wars” story and that classic “Star Wars” narrative.
We have all these new characters coming in, but Finn is going to be one
of the characters that carries on the narrative that we all know from
the original.
So, for
me, it felt like it’s necessary for my guy to be introduced — and
introduced with a bang — because his story is not as straightforward.
Everybody’s
asking about the mystery of who Finn is. He’s a mysterious guy so far,
and no one has any clue what’s going on with him.
