Please understand the following information is from Star Wars Halloween costumes and sometimes merchandise tends to slightly distort movie facts prior to a film's release. Regardless, here's your SPOILER ALERT! for STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS. Read on at your own risk.
This report comes from StarWars7News, via ScreenRant, who transcribed these possible background details for Rey and Finn.
Rey:
“The mission to take down the First Order is underway! After invading the Starkiller Base, one member of the Resistance has split from her group and found herself in a massive room full of First Order soldiers. Completely surrounded by Stormtroopers with blasters and Knights of Ren with lightsabers, she seems to be totally outnumbered. Unfortunately for her enemies, though, they’ve made a big mistake: it’s not about the strength of the weapon, but the strength of the warrior that wields it.”
Finn:
“Sometimes, heroes come from the unlikeliest of places. The Galactic Empire has been dead for decades, but evil never really dies. With villains rising to take the Empire’s place, heroes must rise to oppose them. After becoming stranded by himself in the deserts of Jakku, and meeting up with a girl named Rey, a Stormtrooper named Finn has joined the side of the Resistance. He began his adventure as a part of the New Order, but now he’s one of the few people that can stop them. With a new look, Finn is ready for a new mission. Since trading in his Stormtrooper armor for a new set of gear, Finn’s outfit might not be flashy, but it’s all that a hero needs to succeed.”
The implication for Rey is in the last sentence of the transcription that she may be Force sensitive. This has yet to be officially revealed and most likely won't until you're sitting in your theater seat on December 18. Until then... speculate away!
