Finn: Im a big deal in the Resistance.
Which puts a real target on my back…
Han Solo: Listen, Big Deal.
You got another problem.

Women always figure out the truth.
InThe Last Jedi, John Boyegas Stormtrooper-with-a-conscience no longer has to fake his status in the Resistance.
The funny thing is, betweenVIIandVIII, Finns now a big deal!

He is now a big deal.
Think about what the gossips going to be like in the Resistance.
Oh, thats the guy that got slashed down by Kylo?
Boyega breaks into a grinning stride, winking and waving at imaginary Resistance fighters.
How you doing, guys?
Yeah, I was there.
Then the Falcon picked me up… Oh yeah, I knew Han Solo by the way.
All that kind of stuff.
They have a fan moment when they see him.
Boyega cant resist saying it again: Finns a big deal.
So, Han Solos prophecy came true.
Boyega jokes about trolling fans.
I told them Finns asleep the whole time, or just shows up at the end.
Just gives a wink or has a hood he takes off, like Luke, the actor says.
But the truth is, the character takes a while to get back on his feet.
Finns in a bad way at the end ofVII.
He has a lot of issues.
That suit, that whole thing helps him to recover.
But were not sure whether that means hell wake up.
Spoiler: He wakes up.
But hes not exactly good as new.
Theres some additional few things that need to be done to make him mobile.
Hes definitely in a place where he needs some help, Boyega says.
Its a grounding injury.
Its going to take him some time to get back on the ball.
But when he does… oh, he does, Boyega says.
Once its in, it continues to burn the skin and the cells.
Its not a piece of flame that whacks your body.
Its not something that works like a stab wound.
Its really brutal, the actor says.
As inThe Empire Strikes Back, the core team fromThe Force Awakensfinds itself separated for much of the sequel.
Its Finn and Rose, theyre on a massive adventure.
Its a big mission they need to complete, Boyega says.
The Resistance is under immense pressure, and its time for them to get a bit of help.
Thats where Finn and Rose come in, and theyre thrust into a crazy adventure.
But Finn has to be careful.
If he becomes any more of a big deal, hell be collecting his praise and accolades posthumously.
