just realized that the first time rey and finn saw each other after parting ways on takodana was on starkiller base. rey didn’t even know that finn hadn’t escaped to the outer rim. she’d probably just accepted that he, like so many others, had left her. didn’t even consider the fact that anyone would be coming to rescue her on starkiller. and yet… he came back for her
you know what’s funny though? poe didn’t think anyone would be coming to rescue him, either. he knew the risks and he went on the mission and he was captured. he knew that nobody from the resistance was coming to save him. but finn miraculously showed up and got him out… basically finn is the hero and driving force behind this trilogy
