how i look when i try to prove that finn is a prince who was taken from his home by the first order but he was actually adopted by the royal family bc he’s actually a skywalker. plus he’s force sensitive and the catalyst for a new movement of force users who no longer stand by the old order of jedi or sith
Mooooooore Prince Finn to add to my collection 👑
What We Could Be - a Finnrey Fluff + Hurt/Comfort Fic [read it on the ao3]
A Finn/Rey arranged marriage AU where Finn and Rey are both children of royalty, and were never taken from their families.
Summary: Finn Galfridian is a prince of Artorias. Rey Organa is a princess of Alderaan, the lost planet. They meet while fighting against the First Order, and forge a partnership that neither one could have expected. As they continue to work side by side, will their true feelings be revealed?
Chapter 2 - Come With Me, is out today for @finnreyfridays! Or, start from the beginning here.
Favorite trope for @finnappreciationweek Day 4: 👑👑Long-lost Prince Finn👑👑
This is more a fandom trope than anything else, but I still want Finn to be discovered to be a prince captured from his planet as a baby. He returns to his planet after he helps defeat the First Order and he ascends the throne, learning that he is from a long line of Force-sensitive monarchs who have fought for the light in galactic wars.

Dreams do come true. It’s an old phrase, but an appropriate one for Prince Finn and Princess Rey as they gaze at the beautiful, tiny faces of their baby daughter and son after the princess is safely delivered. One day, the infants in their arms will ascend the throne. But for now, Finn and Rey simply bask in the joy of parenthood - and in each other.

art for The Future Prince, on ao3! my BFF Sarah wrote a positively gorgeous stormpilot fic wherein Finn and Poe locate Finn’s homeworld… and discover that he is in fact a long-ago kidnapped prince! Sarah recently had some bad news, so please- read, enjoy, and leave her the loveliest notes to cheer her up! She has another spectacular fic in the pipe, too- for which I’ve done even more art that ought to be polished off very soon- keep your eyes peeled!
Some art to go with my fic, The House Ilirious, 27k on ao3! Nearly a year out of the FO, Finn begins having vivid dreams about his mother. His friends help him follow the clues to his homeworld, where he is welcomed as a long lost prince. Poe will do anything to help Finn reclaim the life he was supposed to have, even if it hurts.
I weep for prince finn
So I know this might sound wild, but hear me out! I kept thinking about Adam Driver's recent comments to GQ about a princess hiding who she is in order to survive. The exact quote is:
"You have, also, the hidden identity of this princess who's hiding who she really is so she can survive and Kylo Ren and her hiding behind these artifices."
The immediate conclusion people drew was that he was talking about Rey's origins, and I would be as happy as anyone if this means she is Leia's or Luke's daughter.
However, that seems to me a little too easy? And a violation of his NDA if this was an unauthorized comment? Make no mistake, the current promotional blitz is a carefully orchestrated event. The GQ interview and the other media appearances aren't hard-hitting journalistic pieces on a search for the truth of a galaxy far, far away. They're meant to sell the movie to us in a way LucasFilm has planned and approved. Unless Driver is currently being sued for all he's worth I don't buy that he let a spoiler slip.
It also doesn't quite fit. Rey isn't hiding who she is, her identity was hidden from her. There's also no indication that not knowing her own identity helps her survive or hide.
There was also speculation that the line referred to Leia, but this also doesn't fit because everyone knows who Leia is--a princess of Alderaan by adoption and the daughter of Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala by birth. The revelation that her birth father was the hated Darth Vader derailed her political career years before TFA started.
What if the princess is Rose Tico? Here's what we know about her: she works in maintenance, she is a "nobody," her home was destroyed by the First Order and, according to the book Star Wars Made Easy, "she has a tragic past that she prefers to keep hidden."
This last part has prompted speculations that Rose is a former student of Luke's and survived the massacre of the Jedi school. But what about the part where her home was destroyed by the First Order? I guess one could say the Jedi Temple was her home, but we know that she has a sister, Paige, so she has or had an origin family. Wouldn't it be more natural to say this family's home was her home? Did the First Order destroy her school AND her family's home? I mean that seems a bit much to me.
What if we assume instead that the destruction of her home and the tragic past are connected--her home was destroyed, and this is part of her tragic past? Running with the princess theory, she was royalty on her home planet but it was destroyed by the First Order, and she had to go into hiding as a result.
We know from the Princess Leia comic that the Empire targeted the surviving Alderaanians after destroying their home planet. The First Order is certainly not above such tactics, especially when any surviving members of the former leadership may be a threat to their rule.
Rose as a lost princess, in other words, fits the description of a princess hiding her identity to survive and also matches our scant prior knowledge of her. Even Kelly Marie Tran flatly stating that she's not royalty could be read as a deflection that is not quite a lie--it was said in the present tense, and from a certain point of view (cough) royalty with no power and nothing to rule is not, in fact, currently royalty beyond a title.
Now think about the courage it took for a Princess Rose, marked for death by the same organization that destroyed her home planet, to run not away from danger but into it by joining the Resistance like a certain other Princess we know of. Think of how her story would affect Finn, whose internal conflict in TLJ is whether to stay and fight or to run.
To get even farther with the speculation, what if Rose's destroyed home and the home Finn was taken from are the same? What if they are bound by the ties of a common origin, even the ties of family?
I would die of joy if we have Princess Rose and her knight Sir Finn, or Princess Rose and Prince Finn as brother and sister. Even if it's not canon it's a really fun piece of speculation.
And if you're outright dismissing this theory as crack, why is that? If you're willing to believe a scavenger can be a princess, why not a mechanic?
There are very few places where His Highness, the Prince Finn, can just be himself, unbowed by royal duty and tradition. But the stretch of beach near the royal family’s summer cottage is one such place. While he is not fond of the sand, he can walk for hours in the surf, enjoying the cool ocean breeze and the frothing waves.
When Rey admitted to having spent much of her life in a barren desert, Finn knew he had to spend time with his beloved in his idyll. Rey isn’t the biggest fan of sand either, but she is as much mesmerized by the sea as she is by the man at her side.

inspired by the queens of naboo…….. prince finn…. of naboo??? MAYBE????
my favorite disney prince? finn
Your art is so beautiful Can you make a prince Finn sketch?
MY TIME HAS COME
Finnastasia and Dimitrey. An orphan who is really a lost prince. A former servant girl who helped the last of the royals to freedom and survived on the mean streets by grit and a little bit of confidence work. It was inevitable that they’d meet again and be drawn to each other.

people who dislike soft prince finn can leave and never speak to him, or his and rey’s precious desert fruit son ever again
