Many have assumed that John Boyega's Finn will be a student of Rey's new Jedi Order, but the Star Wars film could make it so that he is actually already a Jedi Master. Since the film's announcement at Star Wars Celebration 2023, the theories around John Boyega's return to Star Wars have been rampant. Due to the lack of focus the character received in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, many have hoped Boyega and Finn will return to be given a sufficient story that capitalizes on the initial teases for the character found in the marketing for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Now that Rey's new Jedi Order story has been officially announced, this is the perfect place to do so. With Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker bringing back the idea that Finn is Force sensitive, his inclusion in Rey's film makes a lot of sense, should Boyega wish to return. However, while many theories position Finn as a padawan of Rey, one element that has already been confirmed about the film could lead to him beginning the story as a Jedi Master.
