This stormtrooper was inclose inStar Wars Tales # 10 ’s ‘ Trooper’by Garth Ennis and John McCrea in 2001 ,   taking spot in the defunctStar Wars Legendscontinuity .   Finn and the trooper are so incredibly similar that they could easily have been the same character . They are empathic to a flaw , connecting with their comrades in a way that contrasts with the merciless ideology invest upon them . The state trooper recall a former TIE pilot whobetrayed the Empire and link up the Rebellion , nock an spookily like situation to Finn ’s escape from the First Order . This mean that Finn was not unique in his desire to leave , nor was he necessarily special outside of being lucky to make it . Perhaps he was chosen by the Force to aid Poe in his escape , but there were undoubtedly more before him that were in all probability kill by the Resistance or Rebellion before they could escape the Empire .

The stormtrooper in the story realizes that the Empire considers he and his fellow totally spendable and - after outlast a situation he ’s seen bolt down multitudinous ally - swear that if he survives , he ’ll pass on the Empire and make a fresh life . Sadly , it ’s not to be , and he’slethally shot by Princess Leia , all as his fellow rush past him to secure the gamy - economic value prisoner . The ' cavalryman is n’t hint to be unique or special in any way , act out of a very human signified of fear and empathy . It ’s clear that rather than Finn being an anomaly , even the average stormtrooper might desert the Empire if impart the chance .

Many fan have complained thatFinn was severely underutilized in the sequel trilogy , and here it ’s made clear just how much of a rally bod he could have been to those physical body likeStar Wars Tales’nameless stormtrooper looking for a way out .   A simple , unidentified side character redefine the entirety of one of the Modern era ’s fundamental figures . His existence , even in theStar WarsLegendscanon , makesFinnrepresentative of many ,   and even recontextualizes the human cost ofPrincess Leiaand the Rebellion ’s fight to bring down the Empire .
