Finnpoe

Stormpilot is the slash ship between Poe and Finn from the Star Wars fandom.

Canon
Finn and Poe share a strong mutual trust through and from the events taking place both in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. The two both rely upon each other, having been working together during their escape and in making a plan.

They also are shown to care for the others wellbeing– the two share a warm embrace after being separated and believing the other was dead. In TLJ, a happy, relieved Poe excitedly runs to assist a confused Finn after he is seen awoken from his coma.

The Force Awakens
FN-2187 enters the interrogation room where a man named Poe is being held. He informs the storm trooper there that Kylo Ren wants the prisoner, and Poe is unlocked. FN leads Poe down a hallway and pulls him into a small corridor. He then lets him go and tells Poe that if he does what he says he can get him out of Star Destroyer. Poe is confused and FN removes his helmet, telling him that he's rescuing him. Poe asks Finn if he's in the resistance, but FN says that he's not but he is rescuing him and asks if he can fly a tie fighter. Poe says that he can fly anything, much to FN's joy, and asks why FN is helping him. FN says it's because is was the right thing to do, but Poe quickly figures out that it's because he needs a pilot, which FN confirms. Poe says they're gonna do this and FN nervously responds yes.

In the hanger bay, FN leads Poe through saying to stay calm. Poe says that he is calm, but FN says that he was talking to himself. They get to the Tie Fighter and start to prepare to take off. Poe asks if FN can shoot, and FN says just blasters. Poe says it's the same idea and explains how the controls work. FN says it's pretty complicated just as Poe starts to take off. They get out of the hangar bay as outside canons start to fire at them. Poe says that have to take out as many as they can or they won't get very far. FN agrees and Poe lines them up so they get a clean shot. Once they do the two both cheer in excitement. As they fly around the ship, Poe asks FN his name. He introduces himself as FN-2187, much to Poe's confusion. FN says it's the only name they ever gave him, but Poe decides he's not gonna use it. Taking inspiration from the first two initials, Poe decides to call FN Finn and asks if that's alright. Finn says that he likes it. Poe officially introduces himself, and Finn says that it's good to meet him, and Poe feels the same.

They fight off the First Order, when Finn asks where they're going. Poe tells him that they're going to Jakku. Finn says that they can't do that and need to get out of the system but Poe needs to get his droid back before the first Order finds it. Finn says that no droid is that important, but Poe insists that he is since he has the map that leads to Luke Skywalker. Finn yells that he has to be kidding just as their Tie Fighter is shot out of the sky.

Finn wakes up on Jakku and looks around. He sees the Tie Fighter in flames and runs towards it, calling for Poe. He searches through the flaming wreck, but only finds Poe's jacket before it's pulled beneath the sand and explodes.

Finn is taken to the Resistance Base, as sees the ship that led the attack against the First Order. As the pilot climbs out, BB-8 rolls towards him, and he take off his helmet to reveal that it's Poe. Poe is excited to see BB-8 who points out Finn as he runs towards him. Poe sees him and runs towards him and the two meet in a hug. As they pull back, Finn asks what happened to him, and Poe tells him that he was thrown from the crash, and when he woke up Finn and the ship were gone. He says that BB-8 told him that Finn saved him, but Finn says that it wasn't just him. Poe says that Finn completed his mission, just as he notices that Finn is wearing his jacket. Finn starts to take it off to give it back, but Poe stops him and says that it suits him and calls him a good man. Finn tells him that he needs his help.

Poe leads Finn into the resistance base to see Leia. Poe introduces Finn to Leia, and how he need to talk to her. Leia tells Finn how brave he was for defecting from the First Order and saving Poe's life. Finn tells Leia about Rey, and how she was taken to Starkiller base. Poe tells Leia that Finn used to work on Starkiller base, and Leia asked for all he knows.

Behind the Scenes
Oscar Isaac is quite publicly open about the ship, and a lot of possible insight comes from him raising up the hopes of dedicated shippers:
 * In an interview with Ellen DeGeneresundefined alongside John Boyega (Finn) and Daisy Ridley (Rey), Ellen asked if any romance will be seen between the characters, to which Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron) replied, "I think it's very subtle romance that's happening." Isaac then continued, saying you need to look closely to catch the hints, and that he was playing a "very deep romance" with Poe's character– to which Boyega also replied, saying he was also playing romance. Fans saw that the romance Isaac referred to was between Poe and Finn, since most of Poe's extended scenes involved both of them.
 * When Oscar was asked who he would rather go on a date with, Finn or Poe, he said that he'd go with Finn, and that Finn would take him on a date to Olive Garden.

John Boyega also seems to ship the two:
 * He was asked by MTV News if Finn/Poe bromance would continue, he stated that "Absolutely. 100%. That's my boy. Poe's my boy. That's my dude," and that the "Love is potent." He was then asked if he was aware of any Fan Fic of the two, and he is, and has been sent quite a bit of erotic fan art.
 * When John was asked who he would rather go on a date with, Finn or Poe, he immidiatly said Poe, siting the X-Wing as the reason.
 * John belives that between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker, that Finn was going on mission with Poe, calling their dynamic cool as he looks to Oscar close by.

When MTV International played a game of "Would You Rather" with the Star Wars: The Last Jedi cast, the question "Who would you rather go on a date with: Finn or Poe?" was asked, and several cast members answered that they shipped the two
 * Daisy Ridley stated that she could choose between them and would go with them on a date with each other.
 * Kelly Marie Tran stated that she shipped the two.

Fanon
Fans initially received the performances of the two characters as having great onscreen chemistry, despite having a few minutes' worth of scenes. Eventually the two were heavily perceived as a romantic possibility, sparking online debate as to whether or not their relationship was merely a "bromance" or not. An infamous cause to the uprising of the ship is what many refer to as "the lip bite". After the two reunite on the Resistance base, Poe notices Finn is sporting the flight jacket that belonged to him, which Finn took from the wreckage of their crashed TIE fighter while looking for him from their escape/rescue. Finn immediately tries to take off and return the jacket, but is prevented by doing so. Poe then tells him the jacket suits him and that he should keep it– followed by a quick lip bite and nudge. This was huge to fans, as lip biting can be seen as being very suggestive in a flirtatious or sexual way.
