Yes, they do. What's interesting is that Finn speaks with an American accent, despite being a British actor. Kinda makes you wonder if the accents DO mean something.

I thought I speculated this way back in the teens or early 20's of pages:

maybe Phasma is Rey's mom, and she was also a Storm Trooper "recruiter". She dropped Rey off, and was also the one who brought Finn in.

Why make an issue of Finn being taken as a kid, instead of the whole Clone thing, or just leave it vague? Why make a point of a single female Storm Trooper, seemingly random in her role, and starkly out of place among all the uncredited Troopers? Hell, Daniel Craig got almost as many lines as she did, and he's just a trivia footnote.

One slight curveball is that maybe Rey isn't Luke's kid; if Phasma has been hanging around the First Order awhile, maybe she got it on with Snoke at some point
