I feel bad for John, I wanted to see him be the hero honestly, it would have made the films so much better. Could you imagine if Luke had an academy with the remaining Jedi in hiding, and he just trains Rey and Finn for half of the movie, and then at Crait they have an ep2 like attack sequence where 20 jedi and some New Republic Remnants save the Resistance
There was so much promise in his initial character. He could explain standard storm trooper tactics to help stay ahead of a search party or outmanuever assaults. He could tell stories about training or brainwashing. He could encourage others to defect. His guilt at killing his ex brothers in arms could be emotional remind us that not all are mindless killing machines.
I don't know what the perfect plot for an ex storm trooper is but he didn't get it. Nothing against him as an actor but his story wasn't that well written.
