Some people know him as the "traitor" trooper, some people may also know him as the awesome baton wielding trooper but what some people may not know is this trooper has a huge back story in Star Wars. First off FN-2187 aka Finn (John Boyega) and FN-2199 were actually training buddies for the First Order and if you read the book Star Wars Before The Awakening by: Greg Rucka it'll go into his background and connection with Fin. I know I talked about this trooper a little bit in an earlier post so I'm not gonna go into this scene too much but I will say again this is an amazing scene in the movie. Now honestly there was a part I really didn't like in this scene it was when they killed him off by Han Solo (Harrison Ford) shooting him with Chewbacca's (Peter Mayhew) bowcaster now I don't hate that they killed him off because I really like the character it was because I thought there could've been more potential for this character in future movies and what I mean by that is they should've kept him alive and then he could try to get revenge on Finn for betraying him as a friend and betraying the First Order like FN-2199 being Finn's enemy and then kill him off later like in EP. 9. Maybe some people wouldn't agree with that but on the other hand I think a lot of people would take my side because this trooper has gotten more fame than any trooper from the Force Awakens. So even though he was killed in the movie he's still one of my favorite troopers from the Force Awakens so two thumbs up to FN-2199 and two thumbs up to J.J Abrams for putting this amazing trooper and scene in the Force Awakens and making this one of the most memorable scenes from the Force Awakens.
