Well, the “Traitor!” trooper, whom the fans have nicknamed “TR-8R”, has apparently been given a backstory.
It’s hardly important news, but I did find it somewhat amusing.
(Btw, his canon name is a lot more boring than TR-8R.)Yay, more needless backstory to kill any and all mystique to the SW Universe.
It’s just a stormtrooper…
I was just disappointed that they didn’t actually call him “TR-8R.”
Also in this case I wouldn’t say that it killed any “mystique.” He’s not some weird cantina alien he’s some guy who clearly knows Finn, and who has some pretty unusual training. It doesn’t really matter, not for the sake of the film anyway, but for those who do like to have backstories, now they have one. One that actually makes some sense, unlike certain other EU backstories
I also love how the fans have named Daniel Craig’s stormtrooper “JB-007.”
