It would certainly add a sense of completeness if they did! Maybe they could get permission to use older footage like they’re doing with Carrie, since it would be awkward for Force Ghosts to be older and I doubt we need them to talk other than Luke. (Yoda has no technical hindrance there, but I’d really rather he… not.)
Han, Chewie, and the kid, were preparing the Falcon and getting ready to leave D’Qar for Starkiller base. While they all were making preparations, Chewie nudged him and motioned to the worn and slightly ripped clothes Finn was wearing.
Han and Chewie wondered why Finn hadn’t changed his clothes at all while they were with the Resistance. They were starting to look on their way out after their last scuffle with the First Order.
Han recognized that Finn had still been wearing his Stormtrooper clothes under the Resistance jacket. It was hard to miss. Han himself had disguised as a Stormtrooper with Luke all those many years ago, so he knew roughly what they looked like under the armor. 34 years hadn’t changed that much in the Stormtrooper dress code apparently.
Sighing, Han waved at Chewie and told him he’d handle it. He searched through the Falcon trying to find some extra clothes for Finn. The kid was risking his life trying to help their asses and save his friend, or maybe she was his girlfriend? whatever she was, the least Han thought he could do was make sure Finn had something clean to change into after everything was said and done.
Just as they were about to take off, Han gruffly handed Finn an outfit he had found tucked away in the Falcon. Lando had gotten it for him decades ago, saying something about him needing to update his wardrobe.
For what?! Classics never go out of style. The kid might like it though. It seemed more his style with the Solo touch, and it had the Lando seal of approval.
Finn looked down at the clothes and shuffled awkwardly, bitting down on the inside of his cheek. The only thing he has ever been given was the armor he was expected to die in, and Han was giving him something that was just his and no one else’s.
He looked up at Han, doing his best to stay composed. “Thanks, Solo,” Finn said softly, hoping his voice didn’t crack.
It did, but Han wasn’t going to call him on it.
Han smirked, patting the kid on the shoulder, “No problem, big deal. C’mon, let’s go save the day.”
Finn smiled back and tucked the cloths safety away. He’d wear them after the mission. He’d have to thank Han properly for this. It wasn’t like he had any money, or anything, but maybe he could clean the Falcon! The old thing looked like it needed a wash…and pait…and new parts…
Maybe he’d talk to Solo about getting a new ship.
Post TLJ
After the Falcon sped away from Crait and the rest of the Resistance were finally settling into whatever section of the ship wasn’t infested with Porgs, Finn, who had retrieved the clothes Han had given him, had found his own little secluded space of the ship to be alone.
It hadn’t taken long for Finn to find the clothes. He’d left them in the same compartment he had found the blanket he had given to Rose earlier.
Everyone was so busy. Poe dealing with the news from Black Squadron, Rey reading the Jedi texts. Finn just wanted to be alone for a chance and think.
Finn held the clothes tightly in his hands as memories of the brief time had shared with Han played in his mind. Han’s death was the memory that kept repeatedly flashing in his mind.
Everything had happened so fast. From Starkiller to Crait felt like it had happened I’m in a heartbeat, and Finn still felt like he was still there, laying face down in the face. It was at that moment of all the emotions came at once and Finn felt the soldier’s mask he wore crack.
Finn slammed his fist into a wall, barley feeling the throbbing pain that coursed through his knuckles as they made contact. How could that bastard kill his own father? How could he just have something that so many people didn’t have, and just throw it all away?
Holding the clothes closer, the first real gift he had ever gotten that was his alone, Finn felt his throat choke out a sob as his legs weakened and he let himself slide down to the floor.
“Thanks, Solo,” Finn whispered into the clothes, “Thanks.”
A sad little fic on how I think Finn got his clothes for EP IX.
its times like these where i wish i didnt have most reylos blocked so i could see what they’re saying. the thing is, even if that stuff is happening, she still has a chance to apologize? her fic is disgustingly racist and its been brought up in the past and will continue to be brought up until she 1. acknowledges she’s being racist 2. apologizes for being racist 3. deletes her fic.
and yeah, i’ve been on this website long enough to know that when people are accused of things like racism they always threaten things like self-harm and suicide instead of just confronting their own behavior and becoming a better person.
heres a snippet of what the writer and her fellow reylos are sending to me tho so like? who cares if u got death threats babe join the club lmfaoo. and yes boo i too have clinical depression and anxiety and YET i havent threatened self-harm as a way to get out of consequences. fuck outta here with that mess. stop being an ugly violent racist and nobody will bother you! it’s not like you get hate mail for just existing like the rest of us. cry me a river.
despicaWhat J said. They do these things to us to really showcase their violent bigotry (antiblackness and islamophobia in J’s case) then turn right back around and cry victimhood. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if these were reylos sending her this shit so that they can really play their victim complex.
They are all fucking despicable.
It’s so telling, like practically a case study?? A white woman (op), an Asian woman (me), and a Black woman (@muslimfinn) all tear into a shitty racist fic. Guess which of them gets threats of violence, suicide bait, and Islamophobia in their inbox. I published both the critical asks I got in relation to this mess. They were annoying, disingenuous, and self-serving, sure, but NO ONE threatened me or was bigoted toward me. The difference in treatment is palpable.
And yeah, fuck off with hiding behind mental illness/RL issues. White women called on racism pull this shit all the time, weaponizing their perceived frailty to silence criticism and avoid accountability. Because obviously the people they hurt can’t have mental illness or other shit going on in their lives. Because everyone else are just dumb brutes with no real feelings and inner lives that matter. Because it’s not like racism, interpersonal and institutionalized, is devastating for the mental and physical health of Black people. I find myself agreeing more and more with the analysis that white supremacy is a form of socially accepted sociopathy (link) that frees too many white people from empathizing with Black people or indeed seeing them as full people at all.
Translation: It can’t be a super-important scene if characters of color are central to the action and also I need to soothe my fear that my mass murdering patricidal fave is not in fact the male lead of the franchise.
This is also why the whole “we support Loan Tran” rings so freaking hollow from this crowd. Because guess who else isn’t in yesterday’s photos?
Yeah that would be Loan. Looks like Daisy isn’t there either. (It may or may not be her stunt double in the pics. It’s so damn grainy it’s impossible to tell, but it definitely isn’t Daisy.)
So while whatever is going on in the scene shot yesterday on that hillside, Rose and Rey might be off somewhere doing something together.
Which would not only mean that it just got increasingly likely that Rose will be more than a small, tangential role in IX. (I’m glad JJ included her and I see it as auspicious that he decided to do that at all, but I’ll remain worried about the treatment and plot significance of all the characters of color until I actually see the movie.) Furthermore it might mean we’ll get a Star Wars movie who not only passes the Bechdel test (which like half of them so far doesn’t do) but do so more than by the skin of its teeth (which is the rest of them).
But instead they go and make it about the white, genocidal Nazi I am unsurprised but this is why I can’t take the “we support Loan Tran” claim serious from most of that crowd. There might a few legit supporters among them, but the majority doesn’t give a flying fuck about Loan or any of the other actors of color, unless they can use them as support for their ship.
