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

- Unidentified First Order Stormtrooper

Shortly before the battle for Starkiller Base, a Stormtrooper was assigned to guard Rey, a Force-sensitive scavenger held captive by Kylo Ren. Using her latent Force abilities, Rey used a Jedi mind trick on the stormtrooper to force him into releasing her from captivity. Her first two efforts failed, but she finally successfully used the Jedi ability. The stormtrooper freed her from captivity and, on her command, left his blaster rifle behind before leaving her.

Behind the scenes
This Stormtrooper 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.

The Stormtrooper is sometimes called JB-007, referring the Craig's role as James Bond (agent 007) from 2006.
