Star Wars: The Force Awakens character spotlight reveals Finn’s lineage?

October 2, 2015 by Gary Collinson

Warning. Potential spoilers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens follow…

Just yesterday, we brought you some comments from Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy who confirmed that Star Wars: The Force Awakens will explore the next generation of the Skywalker family. This supports the rumours and speculation that either Rey (Daisy Ridley), Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) or both could be the offspring of Leia and Han Solo, but if a new character spotlight from AllPosters is accurate, we may be a little wide of the mark…

Now, this isn’t an official piece from Disney and Lucasfilm, but rather an email promoting AllPosters’ Star Wars shop, so it’s entirely possible that the company is just jumping to conclusions. Still, we have seen Finn wielding Anakin and Luke Skywalker’s old lightsaber (or should that be lightsabor?), so could there be any truth to this?
