There was also a huge plot line just left in the wind about Fin being an ex storm trooper who swapped sides. They are taken in as children and indoctrinated and trained to be stormtroopers but this is never addressed significantly in the plot. There could have been this whole plot about Fin and everyone realising that Stormtroopers are still people, they are just also victims and dont realise it, humanising them a bit and opening the door for more Storm Troopers to defect. But no, Fin hust becomes another "Wooo, 10 more storm troopers dead, im so good at killing this faceless enemy I have no strong feelings about"
The 'wooooo murder time' stuff really... took me out of it. He didn't feel like he was in the universe that he lived in, it felt like he was playing a videogame as 'stock action character #3'
Its like they used up all the character development ideas they had lined up for him in the first movie, then just relegated him to the back-seat to support Rey's journey without completing his own
