Finn (Star Wars)
Finn (originally designated Stormtrooper FN-2187) is one of the main protagonists in the 2015 film Star Wars: The Force Awakens. In the film, he is a Stormtrooper for the First Order who flees after being shocked by their cruelty in his first combat mission before joining the fight against them. He is played by English actor John Boyega.
Casting and creation
The idea for the character Finn came from Star Wars screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan. Colleague Michael Arndt, who had prepared an early draft of The Force Awakens, revealed:
For the roles of Finn and other new Star Wars characters for The Force Awakens, director J. J. Abrams intentionally looked for unknown actors, as he wanted audiences “to meet these characters [in the film] and not feel like it’s him from that thing, it’s her from that thing.” Boyega, who had impressed Abrams in his debut role in British sci-fi film Attack the Block (2011), was invited to audition for the role of Finn, a process which lasted seven months before he was finally cast.Kathleen Kennedy, one of the producers of The Force Awakens, stated:
Finn the Human
Finn the human (Real name: Finn Mertens), known as Finn to most characters is, along with Jake the Dog, a fictional character and one of the main cast of the American animated television series Adventure Time created by Pendleton Ward. He is voiced by Jeremy Shada in most appearances. The character made his debut in the original pilot, wherein he was named Pen and voiced by Zack Shada, Jeremy's older brother.
The character has been met with largely positive critical reception.
