Because it's the only logical thing after they go out of the way to show that Finn is force sensitive multiple times.
I just want to say that this is the best use of this reference I have ever witnessed.
There is, the one scene when Hosnian Prime is destroyed, it makes no sense for there to be completely different hints for both characters. Or even for there to be different levels of force ability, that's not how the force works. It doesn't work like levels in death stranding. Finn never needed to be force sensitive in this trilogy and that certainly was a clear case of poor writing when they tried to turn it into something he needed to keep secret to put in some awkward drama between him and the others as if ANYONE in the story would take issue with the idea.
But only if you're already related to someone else special. In a comic we'll find out he's Mace Windu's son.
Funny thing is I don't think TLJ moved past it, per se. I thought it simply got interrupted by the emergency of the moment. Rey HAD to be elsewhere. Finn was in a coma and had to help save the last of the rebellion. Them coming back together could have meant a proper return to that affection. Absence could have made the hearts grow fonder.
Leia had no training unlike Luke. It essentially takes away Finn's agency as a normal person for the sake of making him special.
It's not just the quicksand scene, it's multiple instances where force sensitivity would come in based on what we know about how force sensitivity works. It's a contrived twist for the sake of twists in a film that's full of that type of twists.
Remember how JJ respected Finn, (
Even with Rey in TLJ she keeps wanting to check in on Finn when on the island, asks Chewie to give him a message in case she doesn't make it but can't get the words right, and when they finally see each other again they have the big embrace moment. It was so weird to just... not follow up on any of this at all.
Hey man he just wrote and directed the film. Can't expect him to know what's going on in it.
finn doesn't know what a friendzone is.
Didn't JJ also confirm on Twitter that during the Old Republic days, when there wasn't any plumbing, padawans in the Jedi Academy would poop where they stood and Force teleport it away?
It does but that isn't something to confess on your deathbed that you'd then be embarrassed to tell your best(?) friend Poe about while he knew it was something between Rey and Finn only.
Considering Kylo vanished in an earlier version of the script after being thrown by palpatine that's a pretty good assumption.
Doesn't wanna embarrass him for having inferior force genetics.
I've seen this come up a few times and it's surprised me. Finding out you're force sensitive is a huge deal and really personal. So I'd definitely believe it's the kind of thing Finn would struggle to find the 'right time' to tell Rey, and something that she'd be really pleased about.
