[ Cassian "namedropping hope" Andor. Thanks for the hope supplement fam.
Stormtroopers don't really come up on hope. There are things that are, and there are orders. A "greater good" no one questions, presented not as something to necessarily believe in, but as a fact to accept.
Hope doesn't have a way of coming naturally to Finn, any more than optimism does. He never had it, never needed it. One of those things the First Order took before he even knew what it was.
Poe and Rey have their own ways of seeing things. Poe is big on positive thinking in particular, practically generates it. Rey scrubs and assesses until she finds it, goes looking for potential and pragmatically pulls it out. And yes, obviously them being themselves is a good thing. They're the first two people Finn ever looked at and... felt hope happen. And he thinks he's getting better at it, with time.
But it's nice to hear Cassian's brand of optimism (realism) on this, because it comes laced with some of that understanding most things end up having with him. No frills. No expectations. No "thinking positively" assignments. Just a maybe. A one day. ]
suggestion: i squish both of their faces.

Yeah. Maybe.
[ Weirdly enough, Finn hopes so, too. ]
