SPOILERS: Details On 'Finn' & 'Rey' From STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS
Force Friday merchandise has provided us with quite a few details on the new characters we'll be meeting in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and the following Halloween costume descriptions are by far the most SPOILERIFIC yet. Find out more about Finn & Rey after the jump...
You may want to go into Star Wars: The Force Awakens knowing as little as possible about the plot and characters, and if that's the case you're advised to read no further. Okay? But for those that don't mind finding out a few extra details we have the following descriptions from the official Halloween costumes for Finn and Rey.
Seeing Finn (John Boyega) in his Stormtrooper gear led to speculation that he must have commandeered it and was posing as a bad guy to escape, but it turns out that's not the case - he is (or rather, was) a First Order Stormtrooper! What makes him switch sides in unclear, but based on the description below he won't be conflicted about his loyalties once he joins the Resistance anyway.
"Sometimes, heroes come from the unlikeliest of places. The Galactic Empire has been dead for decades, but evil never really dies. With villains rising to take the Empire’s place, heroes must rise to oppose them. After becoming stranded by himself in the deserts of Jakku, and meeting up with a girl named Rey, a Stormtrooper named Finn has joined the side of the Resistance. He began his adventure as a part of the New Order, but now he’s one of the few people that can stop them. With a new look, Finn is ready for a new mission. Since trading in his Stormtrooper armor for a new set of gear, Finn’s outfit might not be flashy, but it’s all that a hero needs to succeed."
The Rey (Daisy Ridley) stuff is less about her character (we already knew was a scavenger from the planet Jakku) and more about a specific scene from the film. By the sounds of things this is not a lady to mess with.
"The mission to take down the First Order is underway! After invading the Starkiller Base, one member of the Resistance has split from her group and found herself in a massive room full of First Order soldiers. Completely surrounded by Stormtroopers with blasters and Knights of Ren with lightsabers, she seems to be totally outnumbered. Unfortunately for her enemies, though, they’ve made a big mistake: it’s not about the strength of the weapon, but the strength of the warrior that wields it."
Rey taking on an entire room full of Stormtroopers AND lighsaber-wielding Knights of Ren? We don't know for sure that this will happen in the actual movie, but it sounds like a hell of a scene, and suggests that this "scavenger" is a lot more formidable than she seems. There's some more details about Kylo Ren at the link below, so be sure to take a look.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits theaters on December 18.
