Background Story
Finn has been appointed as Co-General of the Resistance by his best friend, Poe. But he has no idea how to run a military organization like the Resistance. He has only ever known how to serve a master that enslaved him, taking him away from the only family he had ever known for the purposes of subjugating the galaxy. Sure, he knows his way around a kitchen or restroom having worked mostly in sanitation, but now after the power vacuum that he helped to create, for good reasons, the galaxy has no one else to turn to BUT the Resistance.
With the destruction of the New Republic at the hands of Snoke and General Armitage Hux, the galaxy needs help. Citizens that were off-world for the destruction of not only the entirety of the Hosnian system but also Kijimi and other planets prior to the Battle of Exegol now seek refuge, food, and medical care. The Citizens Fleet that assisted the Resistance in taking down the Emperor’s fleet also has hundreds of survivors from those events that need help. The planets that were able to rise up against the tyranny of the First Order were not always successful in doing so. The First Order had extensive armadas holding certain key planets on guard, installing Star Destroyers, Dreadnoughts, and more in their orbits as ordered by General Enryk Pryde. And still, even those planets that did overthrow the First Order like Coruscant, had gang leaders rise up and take over the major cities of those planets. Finn realizes they’re going to be severely overwhelmed and neither he nor Poe have the skills or resources to help these people. To handle this, the Resistance has decided to install a temporary base on the planet of Crait on the other side of the mountain of the former Rebel base, which was thought to be destroyed by the First Order but wasn’t. It would be the last place they would look.
Still, there is a part of Finn that feels pulled towards a higher calling. He hadn’t been able to tell Rey that he believes he is Force-sensitive, but it’s now weighing heavily on his mind. He knows Rey isn’t as developed in her studies of the Force as say Master Luke Skywalker. But she is the only known Force wielder in the galaxy. Or is he? Could there be others out there still? He knows both he and Rey are going to need help if they are to unlock their full potential as Force users. And is this something he wants to pursue? Will Finn finally become a Jedi? Can he leave his best friend Poe alone as General? We’ll find out in Star Wars: The Chosen One (Episode X).

INT. CRAIT, REY’S RESISTANCE TENT – EARLY MORNING
REY’s tent is meticulously organized. The single cot is made. There are texts sprawled out on a desk in the corner that she had been studying before leaving for Pasaana just a week prior. REY is nervous and fidgeting with her fingers, wringing at them. REY suddenly sits on her cot, gripping the sides with her hands. She tries to start to tell them.
REY
(nervously)
I… uhhh… I don’t…
REY trails off but regroups herself. FINN and POE are standing by the door looking down at her. POE crosses his arms. FINN puts his hands at his waist. FINN picks up on something and thought it had to do with her dying back on Exegol, so he tries to help her spit it out. A long beat passes.
FINN
Exegol. You died. So, how are you alive?
REY looks to FINN and can’t help but blurt it out.
REY
Ben Solo…
REY’s voice starts to trail off and before she can speak her next words, POE interjects.
POE DAMERON
(questioning)
You mean Kylo Ren?
REY
No. Ben Solo.
POE DAMERON
(statement, annoyed)
You mean Kylo Ren.
FINN moves towards REY, sitting next to her. He has a million questions forming in his mind and REY can sense it.
POE DAMERON
(indignant)
He doesn’t deserve that name, Rey.
FINN shoots POE a sharp look before looking back to REY.
FINN
(calmly)
Is he dead, Rey?
POE DAMERON
(scoffs)
One can only hope.
REY
(infuriated, to Poe)
No, he’s with me.
REY shoots up from her seated position on the cot to face POE directly. FINN shoots up right behind her.
FINN
Let’s all calm down.
POE DAMERON
(disbelief, mouth drops)
Well, then I expect you to turn him into our
custody so he can face a tribunal as a war criminal.
REY
Absolutely not!
POE DAMERON
So what you’re saying is you are now harboring a fugitive?
REY hitches her breath and before she could speak, FINN steps in.
FINN
(shouting)
Guys! Guys! No one has more reason to hate this
guy than I do, and I have the scar across my back
to prove it. But…
POE DAMERON
(interjects, shouting)
EXACTLY!
FINN
But, I trust Rey enough to at least hear her out first.
(beat)
Poe?
POE DAMERON
Not on this, I won’t.
POE is fuming. He looks to FINN with a locked jaw and then smacks his teeth, turning on his heel, and storms out of the tent. REY feels dejected. She sits back down on the cot angrily, hurt. FINN looks at her. Sits down on the dirt floor of the tent, across from REY, he crosses his legs.
REY shakes her head and tears well up in her eyes. She looks to FINN.
FINN
(compassion)
Tell me everything, Rey.
REY looks FINN and takes a deep breath. She tells FINN the entire story of Ben Solo and how she brought him back to the Light side.
