What if Phasma using Finn as a courier of her final message to Hux spurs his betrayal in Episode IX?
I have two theories about how this could go, using only actual movie footage:
What if Phasma using Finn as a courier of her final message to Hux spurs his betrayal in Episode IX?
I have two theories about how this could go, using only actual movie footage:
- Finn's Episode VIII attempt to pull a Holdo is actually just him trying to relay the message to Hux. So is Rose's attempt, and her crashing into him is the result of the two of them jockeying for a reward from Hux. (Or maybe she's actually loyal to the Resistance and is trying to take out a traitor but failing.) Either way, the execution scene in Episode IX is just a matter of Hux calling in said courier (Finn), a known First Order double agent (Poe), and a very opportunistic Wookie in order to enact his plan (which will inevitably result in Hux's death, even—or maybe especially—if he's trying to help the First Order).
- Nobody tries to deliver the message to Hux in Episode VIII. The execution scene is either Hux interrogating Finn & co. for the message or Finn avoiding execution by spontaneously informing Hux of this message in exchange for their lives, either way leading to Hux's movie betrayal (which, again, could not be a betrayal in the comic).
