Weve already seen John Boyegas conscience-stricken Stormtrooper take a stab at escape from a life of wrongdoing.
InThe Last Jedi, Finn finds himself ready to abandon the good guys, too.
You cant blame him.

He has been critically wounded by a lightsaber attack that still burns and has never quite healed.
He watched Han Solo, another reluctant hero, die horribly at the hands of his own son.
Finn did his part.
Starkiller base has been destroyed.
Now he wants out.
It got really real for him, Boyega tells EW.
And he just wants to get away and not be involved.
His intention in the first place was to go to the Outer Rim.
Hes trying to do that at first.
But its not going to be that easy for him.
Finns boast to Han Solo from the previous adventure has come true.
When Rose first meets Finn, thats how she views him, Tran says.
He is a big deal.
Rose, meanwhile, is not.
Poe Dameron is super cool.
Even though [Rose] is good at what she does, shes not known, Tran says.
Shes this nobody, this background player, which is what makes her interesting.
Shes not the best.
Shes someone who is just like everyone else.
But Finn shes starstruck by him.
Hes trying to leave, Boyega says.
And she comes in and basically gives him a depiction of himself that wasnt necessarily true.
But he likes the impression Rose has, the vision she has of him.
Seeing himself through her eyes gives the ex-Stormtrooper something to live up to.
Its now an opportunity for him to be the best he can be.
Also… living up to Roses high expectations is not a task anyone can truly fulfill.
By its very nature, there are some structural parallels.
So I think thats going to be unique.
Its like Vegas with aliens.
So maybe itisjust like Vegas.
