Have we talked about the Storm Trooper that Finn fights with the sabre?

I'm talking about the fricking bad arse that was able to hold his own and clearly possessed training that was far superior than any other trooper.

I seriously think that if our heroes had run into more troopers with this training, the saga would have been over much quicker.

I keep asking myself, who was the guy and why was he much more capable than the rest of the canon fodder.

This poor bastard might be just a drop in the bucket for the saga, but in a series where any character can have a following, this joker deserves it.

To me it reinforced that Finn was never stormtrooper material. Doesn't help that the stormtrooper was obviously comfortable with that bludgeon, and Finn had never used a light saber before.

didn't care for that scene at all.

why have such a bulky weapon that you can easily throw yourself off balance with, and Finn has to rely on Poe bullseyeing him at Mach 1? Just unnecessary and over the top, I wish we could ask who came up with that scene and why they thought it added to the film

Why didn't he just shoot Finn?

I thought it was a fun scene.

I had a bigger problem with Phasma just shutting down the base defense without putting up a fight.

I mean, he wasn't as capable as Finn. . .

I still don't understand how that weapon could hold up to a lightsaber. The lightsaber should've sliced right through that thing.

I hate how this is the boards go to argument for just about anything SW related. Much like our own military there are specialized troopers. You see it in the opening scene with the flame troopers.

There are shitty troopers and good troopers, just like there are shitty jedi and powerful jedi

Stormtroopers suck with blasters so badly they've started giving them clubs.
