FN-1824

"I'll tighten those restraints, scavenger scum."

- Unidentified First Order Stormtrooper

FN-1824 was a stormtrooper of the First Order that was assigned to guard Rey, a Force-sensitive scavenger held captive by Kylo Ren aboard Starkiller Base. Using her latent Force abilities, Rey used a Jedi mind trick on the FN-1824 to force him into releasing her from captivity. Her first two efforts failed, but she finally successfully used the Jedi ability. FN-1824 freed her from captivity and, on her command, left his blaster rifle behind before leaving her. The stormtrooper was eventually located in his quarters and questioned. He seemed confused and had no memory of what had happened.

Behind the scenes
This FN-1824 appeared in the 2015 film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, in which he was portrayed by Daniel Craig. In both the film's adult and junior novelizations, when Rey's first attempt at a mind trick fails, the guard simply stares at her. Rey succeeds on her second attempt. Additionally, in the novelizations, Rey instructs the guard to return to his quarters and he also promises to speak of the encounter to no one.

This Stormtrooper is nicknamed "JB-007", referring to Craig's role as James Bond, agent 007,. In the video game LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, he is identified. Despite the game being non-canon, story group member Pablo Hidalgo confirmed on Twitter that the names provided by the game for previously unidentified characters, including FN-1824, were considered canon.
