Here's the Wikipedia on Finn: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finn_(Star_Wars)

Would the book be "Star Wars: Before the Awakening"? I haven't read it yet, it's listed as giving some backstory though.

Although considering how mysterious Finn's pre-First Order history has been (we know only he was taken from somewhere as a very young child, and doesn't even know his real name) it would probably be adventures he had growing up as a Stormtrooper recuit.

The Mandalorian TV show looks marvelous, though. I'm psyched for The Rise of Skywalker this holiday season.

I also wonder if some of the rogues who got in young Han Solo's way in "Solo" might have been affiliated with Maz Kanata? Some tribal 'we are the real heros' music began to play when they showed up.

A larger story is being told here, and we get more pieces of it all the time. I'm standing by my idea that Finn was taken from a Mandalorian family, along with the other Elite Stormtroopers, which would explain his amazing innate talent for battle.
