“Traitor!”

Ok but I feel like this guy knew him and I want that story

Need to know the relationship between Finn, this stormtrooper, and the one that died in Finn’s arms.

I already read a fic that gave the dying trooper designation FN-2003. I need some fanon to fill in the gaps.

I think Finn made friends fast, boy had like six people shouting traitor at different points of the movie.

FN2187 was popular and his defection pierced the hearts of the entire fn troop

okay guys this is all explained in ‘before the awakening’ but here’s some stuff to fill in the gaps:

  • there were three other FNs – FN-2000 (nicknamed ‘zeroes’), FN-2199 (nicknamed ‘nines’), and FN-2003 (nicknamed ‘slip’ because he was always a little clumsier and slower than everyone else). i am 99% sure that slip was the one who was shot by poe and died in finn’s arms because of how finn always helped him out when he fell behind like that was the closest thing to a friend finn had
  • and i am 98% sure that “TRAITOR!” stormtrooper is either zeroes or nines
  • finn was literally one of the best stormtroopers in the entire army like captain phasma noted his potential to rise up through the ranks BUT the only thing wrong with him was his capacity to care. that was what held him back from becoming the true Best Stormtrooper. finn was too kind and compassionate to be a good stormtrooper and honestly i think that says a lot about his character
  • tbh i do think finn was quite a well-known stormtrooper because he received quite a few honors and phasma announced his accomplishments in front of a large crowd of stromtroopers
  • PRETTY SURE other stormtroopers were jealous of him and his success THEREFORE they got really mad when he defected because they thought he was wasting his gifts

I love so many things about The Force Awakens. One of them is how we meet the characters. Let’s start by looking at Rey.

We learn about Rey almost entirely by what we see. We aren’t given a long backstory. We don’t get a speech setting up who she is or what she wants. Instead, we’re given a series of moments that make us understand her–make us love her.

She scrubs at the parts she’s scavenged all day–and her attention wanders. She looks at the withered face of an elderly woman, doing the exact same thing, beside her.  And so we learn that Rey is afraid that she’ll be doing this her entire life. Her future is there in front of her, written on the face of that wrinkled, withered old woman.

Then we see she’s keeping track of time. Each day or week scratched onto the wall of her little hovel. The wall is covered in those lines. And so we learn she’s been abandoned. She’s alone, and she’s counting the days until that isn’t true, anymore.

Then she sits outside. Eats her food, and watches a ship fly up through the sky and fade away into the stars. She yearns for it. We learn that she wants something different. She wants to be on that ship. And she takes an old helmet–tries it on for size. Pretending she’s the pilot, speeding away. Like a little kid, playing pretend–or like Kylo Ren, playing Darth Vader with his own helmet, later on. We learn she’s still a kid. Whatever she’s been through, it hasn’t destroyed that part of her.

She saves the droid–says the creature who was trying to capture it doesn’t have respect for anyone. That shows us she does. Like Finn, no one taught her what was right. She figures it out for herself. There’s an inner voice–one she listens to. One Finn listens to. One Kylo Ren tries desperately to ignore. In this moment, we learn Rey will fight for right things, just because she feels it. And that’s what starts her adventure.

It all means something–all gets straight to who she is. And the story does this in a matter of a few minutes, while barely speaking a word.

I think I’m in a minority here, but now that I’ve seen TFA I actually don’t want Rey to be related to Luke, or Leia and Han or any of the major Star Wars players. Firstly, because I can’t think of a way that would pan out without making the original trio look like complete jerks who abandoned a child, and secondly because I feel like she’s good enough on her own without needing to be related to anyone, you know?
