The only thing he has in common with Solo is that they both become selfless and join the Rebels at the end. He values his freedom and wants to get as far away from the conflict as possible. Finn is scared of the First Order because he knows from experience how powerful they are.
The opening is new for Star Wars, showing storm trooper deployment and a slaughter from their point of view for the first time. Star Wars never featured a deserter as an unwilling hero. One of the strangest things I’ve heard is that Finn and Han Solo are alike, supposedly because they’re both rogues. People have tried to discredit Finn as a unique character. I honestly think Poe is a badly written character, too talented and not well utilized, but he’s not similar to the cold smuggler. Solo only cared about himself and his reward. Poe is a selfless fighter, a hero of the Rebel Alliance. Solo didn’t care about the Rebellion’s cause until the end of the first movie. As Maz told her, her family is never coming back and the belonging she seeks is ahead of her, perhaps with Luke. She goes to Luke because she has nothing left. She doesn’t want to leave her desert planet as Luke did, who craved adventure, because she believes her family will still return. Rey was abandoned and longs for a family. He didn’t have to survive on his own and didn’t become distrusting because of it. One of the criticisms I hear the most is that Rey is too much like Luke Skywalker, another young desert dweller who finally sets out on an adventure and becomes a Jedi.
I think this was a smart way to focus on the new younger generation of characters. The plot is about two sides racing to find a Jedi master, which hasn’t been done before in the movies. It contains a portion of the map to Luke Skywalker, not stolen schematics. Yes, BB8 serves a similar role as R2-D2, but its purpose is different. The film introduced main characters unlike those in the original trilogy and, despite many similarities, it has a rather unique plot.
Some things have to be carried over because of how integral they are to the mainline Star Wars experience. I think the idea that The Force Awakens is a rehash of Star Wars (or, as most people call it, A New Hope) is heavily exaggerated. IS THE FORCE AWAKENS REALLY A REMAKE OF STAR WARS? Did you enjoy the film or was it even more of a letdown for you as it was for me after my first viewing? As a continuation of the saga, I'd say it mostly succeeded. The humor is forced, the story is a bit too safe and it has a somewhat bland new trio of characters that aren't all utilized well throughout. I'll start off by saying that I like The Force Awakens. To kind of make this coherent and easier to read, I've bolded the main topics and questions. I have a bunch of Star Wars things I've been wanting to talk about.
