Couldn't have said this better myself, Rey!

The people who think Rey is a Mary Sue and had it easy can catch these hands! Luke Skywalker literally trained for, like, a week with Yoda and then went "I'm a Jedi Master!"

Rey had to struggle and fight her way to success! She spent her childhood from age 5 on a desert planet! Not Tatooine either! No, it was Jakku! A planet less civilized than Tatooine!

She grew up scavenging for old ship parts in a battlefield to buy her next meal each day!

That's why she knew so much about ships too! If you had to grow up knowing what each part of a space shuttle was worth, you would eventually know how to repair, fly, and even build a space shuttle! Same concept people!!

It burns me up hearing people say that Rey had it easy! Y'all are just jealous because she made something in her life that you never will.

Star Wars could not have chosen a better character to rebuild the Jedi Order!

Uhh I’m a Poe™ and I’m looking for everyone but especially a Finn who remembers us being in love and most likely getting married?

Kylo was trans boy but I was one of the few people who knew…

Me and BB-8 were friends and BB used any pronouns really. How did she become “my” droid? Well, I think I didn’t choose her but she chose me.

I don’t know who Rey’s parents were but me and her were close friends.

Leia raised me pretty much as her own son after my parents died. She was raising me to become the next leader in case something would happen to her.

I think my second name was Cassian.

Please contact me if you think I might be your Poe or even if you just miss a Poe??

When Rey used up her strength fighting Palpatine, I felt the difference in the Force. I ran to her, giving no explanation as I did, "Rey!" I called.

When I was close enough to see her, she was unconscious and Ben was holding her up. There was a large gap between them and me, far too large to jump.

I didn't know at that time that Ben had come back from the Darkness. I thought he was still Kylo Ren. I remember thinking he was going to kill her.

I yelled in protest, no way was I going to watch Rey die! "Rey!!" I yelled, and I reached in the direction.

Adrenaline was pumping through me and, at the time, I hadn't realized how I managed to get from where I was to where Rey was so quickly.

Looking back now, I know it was The Force. I had pulled myself to them out of sheer will to protect my best friend.

"Don't touch her!" I yelled at Ben. Ben looked up, no sign of hatred on his face. "I'm trying to help her." He said, pleading with me. I stood by. "If you hurt her, I'll destroy you." I said, "That's a promise." I waited, watching Ben carefully. Prepared to defend Rey at all costs if it came to it.

After a short time, Rey opened her eyes. There was no fear or hatred in her expression as she looked Ben in the eyes. Just love.

They kissed, Ben smiled, then he collapsed. Rey panicked, thinking Ben was dead. She was talking to herself.

"No, Ben. Please don't be dead." She begged as she checked for a pulse. Then her expression softened and she relaxed. "He's not dead." She sighed in relief, "He's not dead."

The Falcon landed and Rey explained to Poe that Ben was coming with us.

"Absolutely not!" Poe argued.

"He needs medical assistance!" Rey insisted.

"That's his problem. We're not helping him." Poe said.

"He saved me!" Rey said.

Poe looked at me as if he was silently asking me to confirm, I nodded.

"Fine." Poe conceded, "But I don't trust him!"

We brought Ben onto the Falcon and made our way to the base. Rey stayed with Ben the entire time, not speaking.

Ben was in a coma for a while. Poe suggested killing him while Ben was unconscious. "How can you trust him after what he's done?" He asked.

"He's changed." Rey said.

Poe looked at me as if silently begging. Talk to her, Finn.

"Do you trust him?" I asked Rey.

"Yes." She answered without hesitation, "With my life."

"Good enough for me." I agreed.

"What? Finn!" Poe gasped indignantly, "You can't be serious!"

"I trust Rey's judgement." I explained, "If Rey trusts him, that's enough for me."

"Rey, I never told you-!"

Rey, Poe, and I were sinking in sand. I thought we were going to die there, and I panicked. I knew something important that Rey had not found out yet, and dang it! I was going to tell her!

Leia and I had talked prior to that moment. I was Force sensitive and Leia knew it. In one conversation we had, I mentioned that I had found out (through the Force) who Rey's grandfather was.

"Does she know?" I asked Leia. I would have assumed that my best friend, Rey, would have said something to me if she had known that she was the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine...

"No." Leia answered, "But I've known for a while." Leia looked at me with an expression that I had grown to identify well.

She didn't want me to say anything. "She deserves to know the truth." I insisted.

"She does. And she will. But it's not the right time." Leia explained, "Telling her now will make her afraid of herself. Trust me, Finnian."

Finnian... Leia had started calling me that on occasion. It was a gesture of fondness from her and was also her way of indirectly saying 'This is very important, so listen up!'

This time was the latter reason.

"But-! Rey's not like her grandfather! She's not a Sith! She's a Jedi, Leia." I insisted.

"I know. She's not a Palpatine." Leia replied, confusing me even further.

"So, she's not Palpatine's granddaughter?" I asked.

"She is. But she's not a Palpatine." Leia explained, "She's a Skywalker. She's a Jedi."

I understood then what Leia was saying. Rey was family. She wasn't her grandfather, she wasn't Sith, she was a Jedi! A Skywalker.

-

In that moment, feeling like Rey and I were both about to die, I was going to tell her what Leia and I knew and what Leia said.

Then when I realized that we weren't dying, I didn't bring it up again. Rey asked what I was going to say and I told her that I would tell her later, at that time my plan was to tell her at the right time.

Poe of course took it as "Later when Poe's not here, right?" Which I have to admit was also true to an extent.

Poe would likely have taken the news very badly, and that wasn't what Rey needed.

"Yeah." I agreed and moved on.

The first time Poe saw me without a shirt on, he noticed a brand I had on the back of my neck. It was my identification as a Stormtrooper and was a lot like a tattoo that said "FN-2187" and Poe pointed it out.

I winced and grabbed the back of my neck, covering it, and remembered all of the horrible things I watched happen and did nothing to prevent.

"It's a shame I can't erase it." I sighed and Poe lit up a little. "What if I told you we can?" He asked, obviously having some sort of plan which was rarely good.

"Maybe not erase it, but change it." Poe added, "That's your old name, you're Finn now!"

From there, I got a tattoo where we crossed out "FN-2187" and put "FINN" underneath it. That was a very special time for me because it was like I had put FN-2187 to rest and decided (officially) to keep Finn!

[finn-the-swkin]

When Rey was training as a Jedi during the war, Poe, Chewie, and I would take the Falcon on some of our missions (with Rey's permission of course) and Poe would come up with some clever ideas (if he was trying to kill us that is!) - For example, that whole "Jumping Hyperspace" situation. And I would mumble and say "I'm telling Rey."

To which he would say "Excuse me?" And would sorta pressure me into keeping my mouth shut... Chewie would always tell Rey though!

And I would tell Poe "Hey, don't look at me! It was the Wookie!"
