STAR WARS: DUEL OF THE FATES Concept Art Shows Finn Leading The Revolution On Coruscant

Fittingly, after his rousing speech at the Black Lives Matter protests in London, a piece of concept art from Colin Trevorrow's version of Episode IX has been released showing Finn leading a revolution...

Before Colin Trevorrow and Lucasfilm parted ways over "creative differences," Star Wars Episode IX was titled Duel of the Fates, and the final battle was going to take place on Coruscant.

With the planet serving as the base of the First Order, Finn would have been responsible for rallying the people in a bid to finally overthrow the villains and restore freedom. We've seen concept art of that in the past (with Finn standing at the front leading the charge as he waves a flag), but a new piece has now been revealed offering a closer look at that moment. 

As you can see, Rose is there alongside him, and Trevorrow's plan was clearly to give that character a much larger role in the proceedings. J.J. Abrams, on the other hand, sidelined the Resistance fighter. 

This artwork feels particularly poignant right now following Boyega's recent speech at a Black Lives Matter protest, and that's more than likely why it's ended up finding its way online. We don't know whether Trevorrow will ever elaborate on why he parted ways with Lucasfilm, but most fans agree that his take on Episode IX did sound better after reading the leaked plot details. 

Check out the artwork below:

Considering the quality of jurassic wold, it probably would have been more like force awakens, but would have been better than what we got

@dracula - did you like the 1st Jurassic World? I thought it was a great meta-comedy about the JP franchise at that time. Trevorrow's Jurassic Park short Battle at Big Rock is great too.

I listened to the podcast of the infamous leaker of 9's original script and it is way better that the crap we got. It was the true sequel to TLJ rather than the Force Awakens sequel we got that ignored 8.

@mastakilla39 - its enjoyable in the same way force awakens is enjoyable, some cool scenes and cool looking designs and nostalgia. Then the sequels both had the same problems. Really the only stand out scene of it was the 3 on one Dino battle

John Boyega playing a freedom fighter?

Just noting that - as terrible as Trevorrow was - this would've perfectly tracked with Finn's character arc from TFA and TLJ, from a self preservationist who only veered out of that lane for Rey to passionate rebellion leader who fought for a cause greater than himself

Duel of the Fates would have given Boyega a glorious role of a leader who triumphs over injustice.

JJ in his infinite wisdom had him friend-zoned by Rey in a goofy sidekick role.

That was an injustice if anything.

The most disappointing part of TROS was how badly kylo was wasted. He turned into nothing. And feels like a footnote in star wars history. Imagine if he got a role like Maul, who became one of the best sw sith.

This should’ve been the poster for TROS because what they did to Finn among other characters was an INJUSTICE

@MaulCipher - So sick. I want some sort of live action Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga type game that let’s you play through the 3 Star Wats eras not in Lego form. Looking forward to Fallen Order 2 though.

That's a cool/timely pic and all, but I still think he should've become a force user.

They brought back the beloved original trio and did them dirty, and then they extended that treatment to their promising new trio as well...
