They have similar backstories, but there was a shitload more behind Kyle than what I've heard about Finn thus far.

We won't really know until the film comes out I guess.

I don't think so. I never got that impression from him.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

Abrams and many others are adamant about how they looked for the perfect actors for the role.

Yeah people usually get overly defensive when they're trying to hide something

I don't think they were trying to be diverse for the sake of it. A person at a Force Awakens panel asked JJ if there were any asians in the movie, and he said yes. But who they picked for each role, they felt would play it well.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
He'll only ever be 3/5th of Kyle Katarn.

Nah, Kanan is a discount Katarn. Same shirt and shoulder pad/glove thing, goatee, attitude, 'grey'/lost jedi vibe, etc.

Shoulder pads aren't that exclusive though

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.

Well, that Three Fifths Compromise showed up finally, though in a different  thread.
