Rey: Virgil This may be a stretch, but hear me out for a moment. Rey may seem confident and cool, especially near the end of Episode VIII, but she starts out as someone who is scared. She keeps waiting for her parents to return, wishing for things to go back to how they were. Later on, she is constantly questioning where she belongs in this whole scheme of things, and doesn’t feel like a true part of the resistance. Virgil himself is like this in the beginning. He is now confident and more sure of himself, but he started out questioning himself, doubting himself, sometimes wondering where his place is in the world.

Finn: Thomas Finn is a person that was brainwashed from a young age to think and act a certain way. When he was finally freed, he was confused for the longest time on where he wanted his place to be, what he wanted his story to be about. He cares a lot about his friends, and will literally die for them. He is concerned about all of his friends, 

Poe: Roman Poe Dameron is reckless, willing to fight anything and anyone to keep his friends safe. He is steadfast and strong, oftentimes impulsive or hotheaded. Poe shows his strengths through his quick maneuvers and sharp tongue. and I hope this makes it clear how similar he is to Roman. Roman is seen being hotheaded as well, willing to fight any dragon witch threatening his friends. He is loyal and brave, but also reckless. 

Rose: Patton Rose is a sweet badass with a big heart. She is featured in TLJ, so avoid this portion if you want to avoid spoilers.  Anyways, Rose has come from the ground up in the rebellion, fighting adversity at every turn and still managing to have hope. She loves animals, freeing many of them in a fit of rebellion against the First Order. I relate her to Patton due to their shared love for animals, and their compassion for what’s right. They both try to have a positive outlook, and have a bit of faith in everyone they meet.

Leia: Logan Leia Organa is fearless. She is analytical, brilliant, and constantly sure of herself and what she knows is right. She plays for wins, and not necessarily caring about how people feel. She can sometimes ignore what others have to say, due to her believing what she thinks is right, but in the end she works with the rebellion to win. Logan is also an analytical mind, not necessarily considerate of feelings in his quest for what’s right. In this way, I can relate these two characters, even if it’s a bit of a stretch.

Kylo Ren: Elliott Kylo Ren is an asshole, but there’s reason for it. He is confused, slightly scared. He was turned on by his jedi master and turned to the dark side for comfort, only to be abused and manipulated. He’s conflicted, torn between two sides. This all can be applied in some way to Elliott, other than the asshole part. Elliott is conflicted between their love for Mitchell and their friend saying it’s not healthy. They may have felt betrayed in the beginning by their friend saying they needed help and trying to help them, thus turning them into a deep spiral of negligence and manipulation from Mitchell. In theory, at least. This is why I can see a relationship between Kylo Ren and Mitchell. 

Phasma: Corbin No one really knows Phasma’s story or character. She has been given very little screen time and/or character. What we do know is she’s a strong leader, persistent in her goals. She seems collected when under pressure, and is willing to fight for her side. Corbin, from what we know, is much the same way. He seems calm, collected, clear-sighted. He has strength in his beliefs in not wanting to go to therapy, but is also able to see there is another side. Unlike Phasma, he accepted the other side and chose to work with his partner Sloane towards a common goal. I think, if given more CHARACTER, Phasma would have acted in a similar way.

Hux: Larry Hux is a general with ambitions, confidence in himself. He is man who can be a bit cowardly at times (looks at starkiller base) but he knows what he’s doing. After Snoke’s *spoilers* demise, he immediately goes to take control and ends up clashing with Kylo. Now I’m not saying that Larry is a bad man in ANY WAY, I just want to point out similarities in the two personality-wise. Both have a strong, dominating personality and are not afraid to talk others down. But where Hux seems to have an authority kink-I mean complex-Larry is able to see reason and talk things through with Dot to form a healthier relationship. ((also anyone who ships kylux as a kinky sex ship, I kinkshame you all lol jk. I in no way endorse the shipping of kylux, and honestly do not ship Kylo with anyone. This has been a PSA))
