Do you have any idea how brave that makes you? Being scared and staying anyway? That’s what courage is.
[ Poe loves Finn for his honesty. He loves him for being willing to expose this particular truth. Even if bringing BB-8 to the Resistance was incidental, it still happened. It happened because there was something important enough to Finn that he couldn’t turn away. ] Not everyone in this fight wants to save the galaxy. Not everyone cares about those stakes, and I wouldn’t ask them to. They fight because they have one person, one place, one thing worth protecting.
[ It’s a strange and touching honor to realize Finn places him in that category. He doesn’t think of himself as being worth that kind of position. He’s just a flyboy, good at dodging around the letter of the law and good at blowing things up. There are plenty of people he loves that much, but he knows the way his story will probably end. Debris, stardust, luminous memory.
He doesn’t value his life the way other people seem to. ]
If you need to ask, you need to ask. What matters is what happens after that.
