Sorry, I probably didn't make it very clear and that's my fault, but Rey, Finn, and Poe are from a time about two weeks after the battle, and just before Rey was supposed to leave for Luke's island. It's my personal head canon that Finn woke up like a day or so after Rey left, so in this fic, where Rey was unable to leave, she'll be able to be with him. Same timeline but different time, if that makes sense?
Finn is going to have a whole mess of emotions about the clones, I can tell you that much! The stormtroopers do have a bit of leftover clone culture from what I've been able to gather (Finn was weird in that he never got a nickname) but it's still so rigid and authoritative that they don't have nearly the independence that clones do, so there will definitely be some exploration of that!
Well, I could tell that they were from after most of the movie took place, but before Rey left to go find Luke, but I had no idea how long Finn's coma was supposed to last. So, he was going to wake up anyway, but now she's going to be here for it? But if he was in a coma, doesn't that mean they don't know when he'll wake up? Is he showing signs that he'll wake up soon? Sorry, you probably said that in the dialogue but I can't remember.
I bet Finn will be a bit less confused about the clones. I mean he'll be confused, but he'll know right off that they aren't normal stormtroopers. He grew up looking at that armor, and these have different shaped helmets, and painted armor, and they talk differently, and he'll just know that something is wrong. He might still be a bit wary, but he'll know they're not the same.
I was going along the idea that Finn is actually in a medically induced coma (bc lord knows how many times we've seen characters get knocked out and are back up almost instantly, the one exception being Luke in ESB), due to the trauma of his injuries and being left out mostly unprotected in the snow while Rey kicked major emo ass. He was probably somewhat hypothermic when she finally was able to get him back to the Falcon, as well as being severely injured, and he has to be running on fumes anyways after the events of TFA. What I'm saying is the boy needs some serious rest and goddamnit I'm gonna make sure that happens by having Leia make sure it happens. Later on, Kix can see the drugs in Finn's system, and can give a rough estimate as to when the effects will be wearing off.
Finn will definitely notice that the clones aren't stormtroopers right away, but that doesn't mean he isn't going to have a metric ton of things needing to be resolved by badgering them (coughKixcough) at any and all opportunity.
Okay, that makes sense. Thank you for explaining it to me. Sounds like it's going to be fun! (I knew it was going to be fun anyway, but all new details given only reinforce that impression.)
