“Ah, Finn,” General Organa says as he enters the room. “There’s someone I’d like you to meet. This is General Rook.”
Finn looks at the slight man next to her. He could be any age from forty to sixty-five, with salt-and-pepper hair and deep lines bracketing his mouth. His eyes are striking: big and dark and evaluating. “Sir,” Finn says, and salutes.
General Organa raises her eyebrows. “Bodhi Rook,” she says, as if that name should mean something to Finn.
Finn shrugs helplessly. “I’m sorry, I don’t know,” he says.
“Why would you?” Rook says. “It’s not the sort of story the First Order would have wanted circulating.” He steps closer to Finn and gives him a slow, measured once-over. “I was an Imperial pilot. I smuggled out the original Death Star plans before the Battle of Yavin.”
Finn stares.
“And I’ll be in charge of debriefing you,” Rook continues. And then he smiles, fierce and proud. “One traitor to another.”

I had so much fun making this commission, thank you! THE POTENTIAL!!!
Edited, I actually liked this version more haha
Suppose the First Order could be stopped before it could even begin? Billions of lives saved, no need for a Resistance, a galaxy in relative peace, no children stolen from their families to be fed into the First Order’s war machine … Nice dream, huh? But through a twist of time, space, and the Force, Finn and Rey get a chance to make that dream a reality, traveling back to early on in the Clone Wars, where they go undercover as Jedi Knights on a mission to neutralize - by any means necessary - a junior officer of the Republic’s Grand Army named Brendol Hux …

"Finn is known for his intense loyalties in his friendships–specifically with Rey, Poe, and Rose. He risks his neck at every turn, fights for what he loves, and will use whatever tool he needs to get the job done"
what are they watching?
Scary movies!
They're watching _Attack the Block_.
I had been lost to you, sunlight And flew like a moth to you, sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight

STAR WARS APPRECIATION WEEK 2023 May 24th: Quotes → Canon Finnpoe Quotes Finn stood up. He embraced Poe briefly. Emotion passed between them that neither needed to articulate. Finn returned the slap on the shoulder, and the two headed out of the Millennium Falcon (Resistance Reborn, 2019)

I hope you all had a nice weekend!
you know what? I hadn’t thought about it in a while, but I am actually still very upset that we never got to see John Boyega give an impassioned speech to an army of hostile stormtroopers, and partway through the speech just one trooper lays her blaster down and takes her helmet off, and by the end Finn has won them over and they all take their helmets off as the music swells, which signifies their change of allegiance and also reminds us the audience that underneath all those indistinguishable white helmets are people with faces and personalities and hopes and dreams and connections to the Force, people who will be led by one of their own as they rise up in rebellion against the fascist empire that treated them like interchangeable cannon fodder.
we should have had that in a movie! and we didn’t! and I’m still mad about it!
started thinking about the john williams musical crescendo that would play over a long pan across ranks of troopers as they throw their helmets down and turn their bare faces up towards the light, full of joy and determination, and now I’m mad AGAIN
Have Finn’s speech be broadcast across the galaxy, and we see stormtroopers everywhere throwing down their arms and armor, abandoning their officers in a reversal of the Order 66 montage from RotS.
!!! YES !!!
concept: Finn, Poe, and Rey live happily ever after, share a cozy treehouse together
