The previous film was completely centred around Finn "I need a pilot". He could not escape the Star Destroyer without a pilot. He could not get off Jakku without a pilot. He could not leave the cantina because he needed a pilot.
The Last Jedi takes place immediately after, and one of the first things he does is fly a ship with Nguyen to the Casino planet. How can he suddenly fly? As if that weren't bad enough, he's later flying a fucking combat ship and taking down multiples enemies in it. He has never flown anything before in his life prior to this. How does he even know how to do it?

I loved Finn in TFA. Why did Rian ruin him?

When I see all the shit made with TFA and TLJ, I think that Poe and Finn should've been one character, not two. I wonder if that was the original idea because none of these two characters work alone but once combined, let's say: a pilot from the First Ordah who decides to join the other side, they he gets more interesting.
Melanin. It's black people's midichlorian.
Sebastian Rivera
He can pilot, he just sucks at it. He was the only that struggled at driving a ship in the end.
Tyler Lee
No they weren't, Poe was supposed to be a bounty hunter and Finn a Solo-like character.
At least he kicked some ass in TLJ. Finn in TFA was purely a punching bag because jews hate black people while pretending to care about diversity.
Alexander Johnson
It's been done before, and the shitty Rogue One film made him non canon.

I thought Finn and Poe were the originally intended characters but Rey was forced in and given most of Poe's portion of the plot

Are you telling me you wouldn't be a pilot in star wars suddenly if you had to?
Christopher Torres
Magic nigger.
Camden Lewis
It's true. He's in the newest NT mobile game - the one for iPhone for sure
Hunter Harris
Me too, I'm very exited about him being in Black Panther.
Henry Myers
Those rickety shit machines were kind of like cars because they retardedly balanced on long sticks touching the ground. They let Fong Dumplings pilot one too.
What’s weird is that in trying to defend the gate, the entire resistance except for twenty people was killed off. But it’s okay, because Leia thinks they have everything they need with Rey.
Gabriel Wilson
Lucius Malfoy is in Star Wars?
Jordan Rivera
Honestly, Finn being the Jedi would have been much more interesting. Instead of some random chick being uber-capable, we could have a stormtrooper.
Through being a stormtrooper, he's trained in firearms, hand to hand etc, as well as piloting. His redemption arc is by destroying the Starkiller base and vowing to destroy the Sith that he used to work for. The Captain Phasma scenes make more sense, also. Oh, and you can even handwave his ability to use the Force really well by saying the presence or use of it by Kylo and Snoke made him become attuned in using it when he discovers he can.
Could even still keep Rey by making her the Leia of the group. Leia was still very capable in the OT, and would have pleased feminists. Hell, give her force powers in the second film and reveal her as Luke's long-lost daughter while Finn and Luke are training.
Disney, when can I get my fucking check you faggots?
Hudson Gray
Honestly, this. Finn should have been a brave genderqueer transwoman of ambiguous colour, played by Apple's 'What's a computer?' girl/boy/whatever
They played it safe with a huge mouth white bitch
Noah Hill
In the mobile game Star Wars Uprising you could recruit ex Zann Consortium agents. The game was considered part of the official Star Wars canon until it was shut down in 2016. So yeah. Tiber Zann survived the Disney purge thanks to a fucking mobile game. Not sure if it still is today.
Isaiah Barnes
He should sue tbh.

why is Luke suddenly a pilot in A New Hope?
Jacob Howard
Settle down, Mike.
Levi Baker
There was so much other retarded shit that I didn't even notice this. I guess this is an effective kiking strategy.
Kayden Gomez
He isn't, he's spent his free time flying and training to become a pilot.
Aaron Young
he was just farming you for (You)s
Colton Anderson
Wasn't that cut from the movie? I seem to remember it being unexplained
Austin Lopez
He mentions several times he's a good pilot.
Justin Gray
RED ALERT DIVERT ATTENTION FROM THE PLOT HOLE GO AFTER THE WHITE MAN QUICK
Justin Miller
uhhhhhhh guys
I just noticed
why do stormtroopers ALWAYS miss? like seriously?
also why is luke's training so short?
also why would they hide Luke from Vader ON vADER'S HOME PLANET? like seriously?
how did the entire galaxy forget the Jedi in 20 years? like really? holographic projections and robot ai's but no video tapes?
Grayson Long
Finn should have been a storm trooper, which he isn’t. He’s a janitor who was enslaved and given curious access to most of the First Order’s floor plans.
His backstory is incongruous with his behavior. A more interesting character might have been a Storm trooper stranded by accident on the planet, ferociously loyal to the First Order and kind of dangerous, who meets a scavenger and through historical accident winds up on the run with her and the droid from various people who want it. His arc would be coming to realize the First Order has hidden things from him, but he’s still a product of their training so he’s a no-bullshit intense person. You could use him as an interesting view into the First Order’s take on things, to provide a different perspective, which it desperately needs since what and why the First Order exists is a mystery. The Empire was archetypal, the First Order is a caricature.

No check because you plagiarized Kyle Katarn

Hero plot armor combined with letting luke escape to try and turn him later The movies are spread out years inbetween. Luke was on dagohbah a very long time. It's how han and leia become respected leaders inbetween the second and first movie, then the third and second movie. They've been doing things inbetween, luke was training. By contrast iirc everything that happens in the nu-trilogy is all over the course of a week or two, so rey goes from girl who doesn't know the force to grand master in less than a week. Even the Exile couldn't pull that shit off, and she was a wound in the force, drawing in energy and had a lifetime of jedi training experience already. Luke lives on tattooine, which is on the fringes of republic space. It makes sense they wouldn't have much experience with jedis, considering how far from the center of the republic they were.
Dylan Roberts
It's like you people never watched the OT Its mentioned many times in ANH that Luke is a great pilot. Luke's T-16 is shown a few times (even a toy mode of it is shown in case you didn't get the point) and he mentions shooting wamp rats with the T-16 "which are not much bigger than 2 meters". He was allowed to go on a suicide run against the death star because he had flight experience ( best bush pilot in the outer rim territories) and biggs vouched for him. Furthermore it used to be cannon in ANH (disney will probably retcon this ,they partially did with RO) that the rebellion was new and as a result they lacked experienced pilots and were on the look out to recruit whomever they could,this is not he case with the republic forces in disney's movies.

Julian Barnes
Ironically enough the actor does voice the Grand Inquisitor in Rebels.
Originally Poe was supposed to die when he crashed on Jakku but the actor had it changed because his character died in a previous film and he didn't want to go through that again. Honestly, I liked Poe. He's like the only character in these new movies I remotely like.
Josiah Myers
Poe could carry the films as the lead. They fucked it all up.
Carson Morales
A ‘buddy’ style picture with him and Finn would have worked, but it became some weird homosexual thing.
Connor Williams
Poe is a problematic white male that can't follow orders from strong women, sweeties.
Austin Jones
He’s a beaner.
Bentley Gutierrez
I thought he was a Jew.
Jonathan Gonzalez
jewish people and mexican people know how to treat women, only white manbabies act all insecure whenever an independent women that knows what she's doing starts giving orders. see: 2016 election.

Disney sure is working hard to make Star Wars become as dumb as fucking possible.
Benjamin Hall
He's a central American jew. It's a thing

Well right. While Bernie is out at the accounting firm his fatassed shrill wife is fucking Pablo the lazy gardener who will lut his dick in anything.
That’s how Poe Dameron was created.
