A First Order stormtrooper and Resistance pilot made for an odd couple, but they won hearts from their first scenes together.
Star Wars has always had iconic duos, from Han Solo and Chewbacca in the original trilogy to Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi in the prequels, brotherly bonds have been integral in the franchise. The sequel trilogy continued that trend with the introduction of Finn and Poe Dameron’s friendship.
The TIE Fighter scene is a throwback to Star Wars: A New Hope where Luke Skywalker and Han Solo tag-teamed to escape the Death Star, but the best is yet to come. Poe, being the gentleman that he is, asks Finn his name and on hearing Finn was only ever given the designation FN-2187, dubs him Finn instead. Finn’s excitement at receiving his new name is guaranteed to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
When the Resistance returns to D’Qar, a comatose Finn is placed on a gurney, and Poe, instead of joining in the celebrations with the rest of his team, runs after it to be with Finn. It’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, but it says a lot about Poe. He earned this win and the right to celebrate, yet he put it all on the back burner for his new buddy. He has yet to meet Rey at this point, but his focus is on his friend.
But the best part of this bromance is that it’s not perfect, which is obvious in the sand burrows. As the group is falling Finn tries to share a secret with Rey, but refuses to let Poe in on it. This understandably bothers Poe since he does not want to be left out of the connection that he shares with Finn. Poe is passive-aggressive about this, but Finn seems to love teasing Poe for his reaction, which is something best friends do.
