SW: What is Finn's role going forward?

He is ostensibly one of the main characters in the new Trilogy. A lot of screen time was spent on him.
But what is his role in the events to come?
Many of the other characters fit into boxes that can be checked:
Poe Dameron: ace pilot, our connection to the Resistance. Some Han in him
Kylo Ren: obvious evil/dark side character. Conflicted, family connection to the light side
Rey: light side Jedi in training, main protagonist
Finn is brave and good. He is loyal to Rey and Poe. He's a good man. Naive. Trained soldier. But he's not a rogue like Han. He's not a leader of the Resistance like Leia. He doesn't seem to be Force sensitive or a Jedi like Luke/Rey/Kylo.
TFA closely resembled ANH and the OT. Finn doesn't fit the archetypes set forth there. I'm having a hard time figuring out where he goes from here and what he does going forward. Thoughts?

I am interested in knowing more about the assimilation process these new storm troopers go through and how he was able to fight it off.

I'd imagine Poe's sidekick. Seems like the best use and direction for the character, and allows us to see more of Poe.

He's basically Shaggy from Scooby-doo. Have no clue what he could be going forward besides a potential love interest for Rey.

To provide diversity.
And urban-sounding catch phrases.
He's an awful character

Maybe he frees the brainwashed storm troopers from the First Order. He's a symbol that freedom is possible.
Or something about how you don't have to be special to make a stand. Though hopefully I'm wrong. That theme is a little stale.
If they make his purpose to cut off the soldier supply of the First Order, that would be pretty sweet.

He's Poe's Chewie

He could be the Han Solo replacement given the comedic lines they gave him and a potiential love interest with Rey
Remember Han was holding the fort down for the rebels while Luke was training. I could see a similar job for him.

In the next movie, we will have 2 groups.
1. Rey, Luke, Chewie, and R2 going on their mission
2. Leia, Poe, bb88, Finn, c3p0 doing rebel shite.
They all meet together again in the 3rd movie.

Hopefully he fades away but they will try and make him the new Han Solo.

I posted this last night
quote:
I hope he gets frustrated by Rey not returning his affections and turns spy for the first order an Poe kills him. Or the Brienne storm trooper chick, who is his contact in the Order, has a change of heart and wants to come to the resistance so she gives him over to Admiral akbar to prove her new found loyalty to the good guys. Finn then escapes and is on his way back to the Order to give away the location of Luke and Rey and Brienne trooper chick and Poe chase him across the galaxy in the falcon and kill him before he can reveal the secret location to Ren.

Maz said she saw in his eyes someone who wants to run, who is fearful. If fear is an emotion that leads to the dark side, it'd be interesting to see him train and turn towards becoming a sith. Don't see it happening however as he seems very idealistic and pretty set against the First Order.
