Casting and creation

The idea for the character Finn came from Star Wars screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan. Colleague Michael Arndt, who had prepared an early draft of The Force Awakens, revealed:

For the roles of Finn and other new Star Wars characters for The Force Awakens, director J. J. Abrams intentionally looked for unknown actors, as he wanted audiences “to meet these characters [in the film] and not feel like it’s him from that thing, it’s her from that thing.” Boyega, who had impressed Abrams in his debut role in British sci-fi film Attack the Block (2011), was invited to audition for the role of Finn, a process which lasted seven months before he was finally cast.Kathleen Kennedy, one of the producers of The Force Awakens, stated:

Finn the Human
