Star Wars for a new generation

While everybody wants to see more of the old guard (especially of Luke, who is nowhere to be seen), this new Star Wars is now for and with a new generation. We believe that we know who the main characters are and we expect for them to bring us the same excitement as the first original trilogy.

But do we know anything about them?

For example "“ take Finn. We see him as a Stormtrooper crashing on Jakku and then becoming a resistance fighter. We see him engaging into a lightsaber sword fight with Kylo Ren, even if he isn't force-sensitive (or at least we don't know that yet). However, the rumor is that Poe Dameron is a father figure for him (which, again, explain his fierce stance against Ren). So what if he is in fact a resistance fighter who infiltrates the Order to rescue Poe (who was tortured by Ren), in a way mirroring the events from the first Star Wars film?

This would explain why his tie fighter crashes, being shot down, and why Ren renounces his mask and makes it all person when engaging him.

So who is Finn? And what is his last name?

Moving on, we have Rey, about whom J. J. Abrams already said to have a last name, which wasn't revealed thus far on purpose. So the rumor is that she has a connection with established Star Wars characters, most likely with the Skywalker. If Han is her father and Han dies (or even Chewbacca for that matter), then we can understand her despair "“ but what if she is not a Skywalker and she is someone else?

So far, we guess that her story mirrors the one of Luke "“ she is a scavenger who stays under the radar, but who takes a stance when the threat comes knocking. So we may assume that she is a Skywalker "“ but she is actually a nobody, as far as the Star Wars movie universe is concerned. Or her last name could lead to another connection, with a new character.
