The only reason I wouldn't want Finn to be related to Lando is that there are so few onscreen black characters with lines and it would seem cliche. Star Wars has had a struggle with representation in the past; I don't want them to mistakenly insinuate that the 2 black guys have to be related, or that Finn has to be related to someone prominent to be important.

And I agree wholeheartedly 1000% with this, I really do! I am over the moon that people have been pointing this out, as it was difficult for me to approach my dad about it in this away, but he gets it now. Having him related to Lando would be cool (primarily for me since I am a sucker to familial ties and relationships and Star Wars is BIG for that for me and my feels), but it’s not necessary in any way whatsoever to the importance of Finn’s character (and would be much better if they did not go that direction for your brilliantly worded reason above that since I am on mobile and have issues with short term memory cannot reiterate) because I am more than excited to learn more about his character (since I am also now so obsessed with John, holy crap).
