We’ll have to see how adept he is with it, but Finn will definitely handle the weapon at some point. While some have speculated that he’s a Jedi (if anyone is a Jedi, we still believe it will be Rey), the most recent reports we’ve heard indicate that, as part of their training, the First Order stormtroopers are taught how to wield the traditional weapon of the Jedi Knight in what could amount to a kind of hand to hand combat training. This fact winds up changing his life completely, and "launches him into the Star Wars universe in a unique way." That’s not much to go on, but it was finally confirmed that the character does indeed start the movie as a Stormtrooper.Īn interesting detail that has come out is that we do know that at some point Finn gets to handle a lightsaber - which we know thanks to that short clip that revealed he is the one facing off with Kylo Ren and his raggedy cross-guard lightsaber in the snow-covered woods. As described by Boyega during the Star Wars Celebration panel, the character begins the story finding himself in incredible danger. Popping on to the screen wearing a Stormtrooper uniform and no helmet, John Boyega’s Finn was actually the first of the new characters we got to "meet" from Star Wars: The Force Awakens - but sadly the actor is still trying to keep his role in the movie as secretive as possible. To get a sense of what it would have been like to be a part of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens production, watch the San Diego Comic-Con 2015 reel below: Schedules had to be changed and production was put on hiatus for a spell, but the situation was resolved without the need to delay the film’s release date.
There were some complications encountered during shooting, with incidents involving leaked photos and plot details, but the biggest setback involved Harrison Ford sustaining an injury aboard the Millennium Falcon.
While some location shooting was done in places like the Abu Dhabi desert and the Irish island Skellig Michael, most of filming was done at Pinewood Studios in England (which was actually expanded to ensure that the movie had enough room to work).
Principal photography on the movie began on May 16, 2014, and ended in the first week of November in 2014. It lasted for almost a full six months, but production on Star Wars: The Force Awakens has been completed and the film now finds itself in post-production in advance of its December release date.
