The Dark Side, And The Light

Finally we have the shot that’s excited fans the most, and confirmed that Finn was indeed lighting up that saber to take on Kylo Ren in the brief teaser from a few months back.
So is Finn a Jedi? My guess is, no – that’ll be Rey. Finn may be skilled in melee combat and simply fancied his chances – remember you don’t have to be a Jedi to wield a lightsaber as evidenced by Han Solo’s Taun-Taun belly slice in The Empire Strikes Back – but he definitely looks like he’s in way over his head here.
There’s always the possibilty Finn is also force-sensitive, but my money’s on Rey emerging as the new all-powerful Jedi, and successor to (her father?) Luke Skywalker.
