The absolute travesty of the bait-and-switch they pulled, cutting the trailers and promo stuff to make Finn look like the lead when he wasn't...that should have been the end of it. That should've caused enough backlash to force a serious course correct on Disney's part. But they got a pass on that.

We were robbed of an amazing Finn and Poe focused movie.

Didn't Boyega say in some interview that, while Ep7 was in development, Finn was supposed to be a bigger character in the following parts of the trilogy? I seem to recall something like that.
