It was a great idea executed okay, but it's run its course. Killing off Finn would've potentially been a nice saving grace for this movie and would've streamlined things for Chapter IX. It's a perfect 'redemption story' for him to go out in a blaze of glory and save his friends. But again - the writers dropped the ball, IMO. Because Disney isn't going to kill one of their new characters.
Just another missed opportunity in a movie absolutely loaded with them.

Finn is black so he isn't going to get killed off. Abrams said the franchise needs more diversity with its audience being so global now
