Podcast
- Continuing our conversation on Finn's arc from yesterday.
- Finn originally joined the Resistance because while he was trying to leave the First Order he happened to connect with Poe, and then because of his feelings for Rey. By the end of this movie, he actually chooses to be a member of the Resistance.

- Referenced: Tomo news.
