Faraday, could you share the excerpt you are referring to from the DOTF script?

Here it is. It’s not long, but I think it’s such an important moment:

Finn tightens a bolt on the grappling cannon. A loud CLANK startles him. He closes his eyes, left hand shaking.

ROSE
Hey. It’s okay.

Finn’s past has followed him for years. Memories of friends kidnapped and conditioned to serve.

FINN
One of the Stormtroopers on Kuat. I knew him. We trained together, when we were kids. He looked so scared. I remember that feeling.

ROSE
I don’t think that feeling ever goes away.

FINN
I can’t let more of them end up like me. It has to stop.

Rose puts a calming hand on his. He breathes easier.

ROSE
That’s what we’re fighting for.
