The relationships of Finn from the Star Wars universe.
Friends and Allies[]
Poe Dameron[]
- “That's one hell of a pilot!”
- ―Finn about Poe's piloting skills[src]
Finn and Poe.
Poe is one of Finn's best friends and also the first friend he made upon defecting the First Order. Helping Poe to escape the First Order is the first thing he does upon deciding to leave the organization after witnessing the attack at the Jakku village. Finn and Poe immediately get along with each other, with Poe giving him the name "Finn" as he preferred it over FN-2187, the name the First Order had given him.
Finn soon is surprised by Poe's audacity, but he also considers him to be very reckless. While piloting the ship they stole to escape, Poe decides to turn it back and attack the First Order flagship, instead of immediately running away, which frustrates Finn that just wants to get away from the organization as soon as he can. Finn becomes even more frustrated when Poe informs him that they are going back to Jakku to recover BB-8. Despite this, Finn becomes amazed upon witnessing Poe's piloting skills.
Upon crash-landing on Jakku, Finn is desperate as he searches for any signs of his new friend at the remains of the ship. To his disappointment, he only finds Poe's jacket, leading Finn to believe that Poe had perished during their crash. After this, Finn keeps Poe's jacket, wearing it himself. Upon finding BB-8 at the Niima Outpost, Finn sadly informs to the droid that he tried to help his master, but Poe unfortunately did not survive.
Sometime later, during the Battle of Takodana, Finn witnesses Poe in action again, as Poe is leading a group of X-wings. Finn is impressed by his flying skills, calling him "One hell of a pilot" without even knowing that Poe is the one piloting the ship that he is watching. Afterwards, the two of them finally reunite at the Resistance base, and they become surprised and delighted upon realizing that they both survived the crash. As they see each other from afar, they run to meet and warmly embrace. Poe is very grateful that Finn completed his mission by safely bringing BB-8 to the Resistance base. Finn tries to return Poe's jacket to him, but Poe lets Finn keep the jacket, saying that it is suits him.
After these events, Poe and Finn's bond and trust in each other only strengthens over time. Following the battle at Starkiller Base where Finn was gravely injured by Kylo Ren, when Finn wakes up from his coma, Poe immediately runs to check if his friend is fine. Later, Finn and Poe, along with Rose, formulate a plan to disable the tracker of the First Order flagship, the Supremacy, and Finn trusts Poe with the homing beacon that will lead Rey back to the Resistance fleet. At the Battle of Crait, as Finn decides to sacrifice himself to destroy the First Order's canon, Poe vehemently orders his friend to retreat, but Finn ignores, just to be later saved by Rose.
Eventually, Finn and Poe become inseparable from each other as they are often seen together in the following events. At some point, Poe becomes interested in Finn's love life, and noticing how close Finn is to Rey, he asks if there is something happening between them. Finn becomes confused at first and then surprised by Poe's inquiry, before replying that Rey is just his friend. He confides to Poe with what happened between him and Rose during the Battle of Crait, when the two of them kissed. Despite this, Finn also tells Poe that what happened then was a moment, and says that him and Rose discussed afterwards and decided to remain friends.
The two of them go together, along with other friends from the Resistance, to the mission to receive information from an ally named Boolio, and later to the mission to search for the Sith wayfinder. At Pasaana, when Finn tries to tell something to Rey but is interrupted, Poe becomes interested in what Finn was going to say. He then becomes hurt when his friend dodges his questioning, not wanting to tell him, as he feels that Finn is hiding something from him. At the First Orders ship, the Steadfast, Finn shows great concern when Poe is shot as they are attacking a group of stormtroopers. Because Finn stops to aid his wounded friend, they are both captured by the troopers. Poe is shown to be still bothered by what Finn is hiding since Pasaana, to the point that he asks Finn again when they are about to be executed by the stormtroopers. Unknown to Poe, Finn was actually trying to reveal that he has the Force.
After the General Leia Organa passed away and Poe becomes the new general of the Resistance, Poe feels very insecure, so he decides to invite Finn to be his co-general, which Finn accepts. In the very end, as Finn celebrates at the Resistance base the defeat of the Emperor and the First Order, he and Poe embrace as they see each other. Then, they witness together Rey's arrival and she joins them in the embrace. Both Poe and Rey reveal to him that they eventually realized what Finn was attempting to say at Pasaana, without Finn even having to say it.
Rey[]
Rey and Finn.
Rey is one of Finn's best friends. Finn first met Rey on the planet Jakku, after he rescued Poe Dameron from the First Order and it appeared that the pilot had apparently died during the rescue attempt. Their relationship at first gets off on the wrong foot, when Rey and BB-8 believe he had stole the jacket that belonged to the droid's master. Because of this, Rey chases him and furiously attacks him with her quaterstaff and BB-8 shocks his leg, before Finn corrects them regarding what actually happened. However, because of her initial and immediate display of hostility, Finn becomes fearful to correct her when she assumes he is a member of the Resistance. Thus, he does not reveal that he was actually a former member of the First Order, and that he is also ashamed that he had been associated with them. Then, they become involved in the First Order chase for BB-8, forcing them to run away. Later, when Rey insists that she has to go back to Jakku, Finn worries about her safety and, despite the risk of her finding out about his true indentity, he states that, to avoid being captured by the First Order, it is better for her to stick with him and BB-8. As they work together to survive, they rapidly become close, and over time, the two become good friends.
Finn later finally reveals his true identity as a former stormtrooper and tells Rey about his fear and wish to run from the First Order. He decides to leave with Sidon Ithano's crew to hide from the war and invites her to come with him since she is his friend and someone that has seen him as a person, but as Rey only asks him not to go, he tells her to take care of herself before leaving. However, after he decided to come back and saw Kylo Ren carrying an unconscious Rey towards his shuttle as the dark warrior abducted her, Finn becomes determined to rescue his friend, despite the fact that he did not know Rey for very long. Finn offers himself to enter Starkiller Base telling the members of the Resistance that he knows how to disable the shields of the base, but his intention is actually to save Rey from the First Order. During the battle at Starkiller Base, when Rey is knocked out by Ren, he fights Ren to survive while trying to defend her, but he only ends up being seriously injured by Ren.
After waking up from his coma, Finn's first concern is Rey's whereabouts while she had journeyed to meet Luke Skywalker and convince him to help the Resistance. After learning that the First Order had managed to track the Resistance through lightspeed, Finn decided to leave and take a tracker in order to lead Rey away from the danger until he changed his mind and teamed up with Rose Tico to try to disable the tracker. Finn eventually reunites with Rey in the aftermath of the Battle of Crait, they share a warm embrace, happy to finally see each other again.
Finn and Rey have a very close and sibling-like friendship, to the point that it can lead others to think that they are romantically involved. Suspecting this, sometime after the Battle of Crait, Poe asks Finn if there is something between them. Finn becomes very surprised and confused by Poe's question, before replying that Rey is just his friend and nothing more.
Rey and Finn go together, along with other friends from the Resistance, to the mission to search for the Sith wayfinder. At Pasaana, Finn tries to tell Rey that he is Force-sensitive, but is interrupted as he sinks in the quicksand. On the other hand, Finn keeps pressing Rey to open up herself to him, as Rey tends to keep most of her feelings and thoughts to herself. When Rey thinks that she killed Chewbacca, Finn tries to comfort her by saying that it is was not her fault, but Rey replies that the Force lightning power came from her and that there are things that he does not know. As he asks her to tell him more, Rey reluctantly tells him about the vision she had, in which she saw herself and Kylo Ren sitting together on the Throne of the Sith.
After they infiltrated to Steadfast and saved Chewbacca, Finn shows concern when he notices how Rey is becoming very vengeful towards Palpatine. Unknown to Finn, Rey just found out that the Dark Lord of the Sith is actually her grandfather, but she never reveals this to Finn or anyone else in the Resistance as she fears what they will think about her. Finn is then surprised when Rey furiously states that Finn and everybody else that claim to know her, in reality do not know her, as she is hiding her darkest and most intimate secrets from them. At Kef Bir, Finn follows Rey when she goes alone to search the Sith wayfinder at ruins of the second Death Star. He then is surprised and very concerned when he sees that Rey is fighting Kylo Ren, to the point that he runs towards the dueling duo, but is stopped by Rey who uses the Force to push him away and by Jannah who holds him back. Later, he becomes sad as he watches Rey flying away from Kef Bir piloting Kylo Ren's TIE whisper, leaving the others behind.
Back at the Resistance base, while he is interacting with D-O, the droid says that he misses Rey and Finn tells him that he feels the same. Finn only has news about Rey again when she sends the Resistance members the coordinates to Exegol. During the Battle of Exegol, because of his Force powers, Finn is able to sense when Rey dies after defeating Palpatine and starts to grieve for his friend. But then he also senses when Rey comes back to life as result of Ben Solo giving his life force to her, and Finn becomes very joyful to know that she is actually alive. During the celebration at the Resistance base, as Rey arrives, she goes to meet both Finn and Poe, and the trio embraces. Then, Finn is surprised as he attempts once more to tell about his Force powers, but both Poe and Rey reveal that they eventually figured out what Finn was trying to say.
BB-8[]
Finn and BB-8.
Finn first met BB-8 after crashing on Jakku and recognized him as the droid who possessed the map to Luke Skywalker. Their first meeting did not go so well as BB-8 accused Finn of stealing his master's, Poe, jacket and electrocuted him until Finn cleared up the situation. After escaping from the First Order on Jakku, Finn strikes a deal with BB-8 that he'll get him to Resistance if he helps him get away from the First Order. Over the course of their adventure, they start to become good friends and Finn succeeds in reuniting BB-8 with Poe, which BB-8 is thankful for.
Han Solo[]
Finn first met Han Solo after he and Rey barely escaped from the First Order's military forces on the planet Jakku. He then is amazed to learn that the man they just met is the legendary Han Solo, who Finn recalls as General of the Rebel Alliance in Galactic Civil War, while Rey points out that Han is also a famous smuggler. They both are fascinated to hear more from Han as he confirms that the Jedi and the Force are real, and that he is Luke Skywalker's old friend. Over time, the two become good friends.
Shortly after knowing him, Finn becomes worried, thinking that Han might not believe in his lie about being a Resistance member so easily as Rey did. In the end, Finn's concerns are proven to be correct, as Han is able to figure out that Finn is hiding something about his identity soon after. He is surprised when Han tells him that Rey will also find out the truth soon if Finn does not tell her first, despite this, Han is not angry with him for lying to him about who he really was.
During their mission to rescue Rey and destroy the Starkiller Base, Finn witness Han being killed by Kylo Ren, and he is shocked by his friend's death. While Finn and Rey are trying to escape from Starkiller Base, Kylo Ren confronts them. Finn seems enraged with Ren, and tries to fight him to survive and to avenge Han's death, but he loses and is seriously injured by Ren.
Chewbacca[]
Finn first met Chewbacca after he and Rey barely escaped from the First Order's military forces on the planet Jakku. During their escape from the Guavian Death Gang and Kanjiklub, Chewbacca was injured, when Finn was attending to his injuries, the latter repeatedly tried to strangle him six times, which Finn became annoyed by, so Chewbacca tried to strangle him the seventh time, after he complained about how the Wookiee almost killed him, but Finn ultimately forgave him.
Over time, the two become good friends.

Romances[]
Rose Tico[]
- Finn: "Rose? Why Would you do that? Huh? I was almost there. Why would you stop me?"
- Rose: "I saved you... dummy. That's how we gonna win. Not fighting what we hate, saving what we love..."
- ―Rose confesses her feelings to Finn[src]
Finn and Rose kiss.
Finn first met Rose Tico aboard the Raddus as he was making his way to the escape pods. When Rose saw Finn, she was excited, telling that she and her sister really admired his heroism in defecting the First Order and destroying Starkiller Base. However, upon seeing that he trying to get into an escape pod, Rose was disappointed with him. She decided to turn in him over for treason, but Finn tried to explain that he was trying to get his friend, Rey, to safety as he believed that the Resistance was doomed because the First Order was tracking them through lightspeed. Rose is shocked by this but still frustrated that Finn was trying to run away as her sister, Paige, recently died fighting the First Order.
Rose and Finn start to bond when they go on a mission to try to disable the tracker of the First Order, and at some point during their adventure, she developed romantic feelings for him. While they are in Canto Bight, Rose shows him how the people of the city become rich by dealing arms to the First Order, including the use of child slavery and other immoral activities that cause more sufferings. She also tells him about the hardships that she and her family had to endure on their home planet because of the First Order. Rose's ideals and experiences which later are contrasted with DJ's motto about being neutral and do not join sides, made Finn reflect about his own place in the war, leading him to eventually join definitely the Resistance's cause and stop running from his problems.
Recognizing how she suffered because the loss of her sister, Finn becomes defensive of Rose when DJ demands the haysian ore medallion that was from Paige in exchange for his help. Even after Rose agrees to give the medallion to DJ, Finn goes after him and insists for DJ to return it, knowing how much it means for her as a memento of her late sister.
As a consequence of Finn's new resolve to stop running away, when Finn confronts Phasma on the Supremacy, he tells her that he is in fact a "rebel scum". Later, when they reunite with the others at the base on Crait after Resistance members were surrounded by the enemy, it is Finn who firmly states to the others that they have to fight to destroy the First Order's Superlaser siege cannon, which makes Rose smile fondly at him. During the Battle of Crait, Finn decides to sacrifice himself to destroy the First Order's cannon, despite Poe and Rose pleading him not to. When Rose manages to save him by crashing her speeder into his, seriously injuring herself in the process, Finn is surprised. Rose confesses her feelings for him by saying that they are not going to win the war fighting what they hate, but saving what they love. To make sure that the meaning of her words are not missed by him, she kisses Finn before passing out. Finn carries Rose out of the battlefield and shows his care for her covering her unconscious body with a blanket while she is under medical treatment.
Sometime after these events, Poe asks Finn if there is something between him and Rose. Finn replies that he in fact had a moment with her on Crait, but they later discussed about it and decided to remain friends. Thus, despite of Rose's feelings for Finn, they continue being good friends.
When Palpatine returns, Finn invites her to go along in the mission to find the Sith wayfinder but Rose refuses because of other tasks she was assigned to, and Finn accepts her decision. During the Battle of Exegol against the Final Order fleet, Rose is reluctant to leave Finn when he and Jannah decide to stay behind to disable the transmitter of the Steadfast, only leaving after Finn and other Resistance members persuade her to. After the Resistance defeats the First Order, Finn sees Rose embracing Chewbacca, and looks happy to know that she managed to survive the battle.
Jannah[]
Finn and Jannah on the ruins of the Death Star II.
Finn met Jannah when he and his friends arrived on Kef Bir to retrieve a Sith wayfinder in the ruins of the Death Star II, and Jannah agreed to help them retrieve it when the ocean tides were safe to travel. Later, as they fix the Millennium Falcon, Finn becomes surprised when Jannah reveals she used to be not only a member of the First Order but also a stormtrooper called "TZ-1719". Finn is overjoyed to meet another person with a similar background like himself as he never knew that there were other deserted stormtroopers.
Thus, the two begin to bond over their similar past and how they trusted their instincts to leave the First Order. Finn also tells her how he interprets this instinct as the Force and as fate that led him to defect and meet his friends, which arouses Jannah's curiosity, asking him if the Force is even real. Jannah listens to Finn carefully and shows interest everytime he mentions the Force, and she is the only person that Finn manages to talk about it (hinting at his newfound abilities) while he fails to express himself about the same to his friends.
Because of this initial interaction and how they could personally identify with the other, they soon became close and started to care for each other. After Rey went to the Death Star ruins alone, Jannah helps Finn to get there so he could aid Rey, but she immediately holds him back when they witness Rey and Kylo Ren dueling, not wanting him to risk himself trying to follow them.
Afterwards, they both return to Resistance base together, and Jannah decides to help him and the Resistance in the Battle of Exegol. While they are working in turning off the navigation tower to stop the Final Order's fleet, Finn decides to stay behind to detroy the Steadfast that was rebooting the navigation tower, and Jannah willingly stays with him while the Resistance ground team evacuated. After accomplishing their goal, they hold on to each other for dear life as the ship comes crashing down and it seemes to be the end for them, but they are rescued by Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca. With the First Order defeated, Finn and Jannah celebrate the Resistance's triumph together.
According to both Finn's and Jannah's actors, at some point during these events, Finn and Jannah developed a romantic interest in each other.
Enemies[]
Ben Solo/Kylo Ren[]
- Kylo: "That lightsaber... it belongs to me!"
- Finn: "Come get it!"
- ―Kylo and Finn at Starkiller Base[src]
Finn and Kylo Ren dueling on Starkiller Base.
Finn and Ren have been enemies ever since the former stormtrooper defected from the First Order. Since Finn's defection, Kylo hunted him along with Poe's droid BB-8, but they only face each other at Starkiller Base, after Kylo captured Rey and killed Han Solo. Kylo accuses Finn of treason and becomes enraged when Finn uses Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber, stating that the weapon belongs to him. Finn mocks Ren telling him to come and get the saber, unaware that Ren is in fact Anakin's grandson, and the lightsaber does rightfully belongs to him. The two engage in a lightsaber duel, as Finn tries survive while denfending Rey that was unconscious, and trying to avenge Han's death. Although he is able to hold his own reasonably well for a relatively short period of time and even manage to lightly wound Ren's right shoulder, ultimately Finn is defeated by Ren, mainly because of the dark warrior's superior experience and skills in lightsaber combat. Ren disarms him of the Skywalker lightsaber and deals him a severe wound to his back.
Captain Phasma[]
- Phasma: "You were always scum."
- Finn: "Rebel scum."
- ―Captain Phasma and Finn on the Supremacy[src]
Finn threatening Phasma.
As a First Order stormtrooper, Finn was under the command of the leading stormtrooper, Captain Phasma. While under her service, Phasma regarded Finn as the best stormtrooper that the First Order ever had. After witnessing the death of a fellow comrade and realizing the First Order's cruelty, Finn was scolded by Phasma for removing his helmet when he had to take in the horrors he had seen on Jakku. It was at this moment that Finn decided to defect from the First Order; making him and Phasma bitter enemies. When Finn arrived on Starkiller Base with Han Solo and Chewbacca, they captured Phasma to deflect the shields surrounding the base. Finn mocked Phasma over having authority and threatened her to turn off the shields. Once Phasma turned off the base's shields, Finn had her thrown down the garbage chute on Solo's suggestion.
When sneaking aboard the Finalizer with Rose Tico to disable the lightspeed tracker so the Resistance could escape, they ended up being captured (due to them being betrayed by DJ) where Finn was coldly greeted by Phasma that orders their execution. After Finn and Rose were saved by Holdo's sacrifice, Finn was confronted by Phasma that was attempting to kill him, and they duel. Finn managed to gain the upper hand and as a defeated Phasma looked up at Finn, she tried to insult him stating that he was always scum. But as Finn at this point had decided to support the Resistance's cause, he proudly replied to her that he was "rebel scum" before watching as she fell to her death.
