Rey and Finn meet on Jakku and escape from the First Order aboard the Millennium Falcon in this entry in our The Force Awakens series.
Our series discussing The Force Awakens in celebration of its tenth anniversary resumes with Rey’s introduction to Finn. After mistaking Finn as a thief, Rey barely has a chance to get to know the former stormtrooper before the First Order arrives and opens fire. They are quickly on the run and make an escape in one of the most iconic ships in all of cinema: The Millennium Falcon. We have plenty of Star Wars goodness to discuss in this episode of Podcast Stardust.
This episode in our The Force Awakens series covers the portion of the movie that runs from 23:40 to 36:38.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- The stormtroopers of the First Order and how they compare to the Jedi and clones,
- The rivalry between Kylo Ren and General Hux,
- Finn’s arrival on Jakku,
- Similarities between The Force Awakens and A New Hope in this part of the movie,
- When Finn met Rey,
- Finn not telling Rey the entire story and lying about his past, and
