Finch Dallow was a pilot who identified as a male human. He flew bombers for the Cobalt Squadron of the Resistance. Previously, he served the New Republic as a member of the New Republic Scout Service.
Growing up, Finch Dallow gained experience piloting crop dusters on his family's farm, which was located on Aduba. Later, he enlisted in the New Republic and became a pilot for the New Republic Scout Service, accumulating significant flight time.
Subsequently, Dallow joined the Resistance, taking on the role of pilot within Cobalt Squadron. He piloted the MG-100 StarFortress SF-17 known as the Cobalt Hammer during the Atterra campaign and later during the evacuation of D'Qar. During this evacuation, Dallow, along with other pilots from the Resistance navy's bombing squadron, directed their bombers toward the Fulminatrix, a Mandator IV-class Siege Dreadnought. After the destruction of the other bombers, the Hammer represented the Resistance's last hope. Despite facing relentless attacks from enemy fighters, Dallow successfully maneuvered the bomber into an optimal position above the Fulminatrix. Tragically, the cockpit was then struck by a TIE fighter, resulting in his death. Paige Tico, another crewmember, heroically managed to release the bomber's payload, ultimately destroying the Fulminatrix. However, she also perished as the crippled Hammer crashed into the ensuing flames. Cobalt Squadron's self-sacrifice led to the destruction of the Fulminatrix, enabling the Resistance to escape from D'Qar.
Finch Dallow's attire consisted of a yellow flight suit complemented by a white vest. He also wore a white flight helmet adorned with blue markings, featuring a red Rebel Alliance starbird and the Aurebesh inscription that translates to "STELLA".
Kevin Layne portrayed Finch Dallow in the 2017 movie Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi, where he was credited as "Resistance Bomber pilot #1." Originally, the script envisioned Finn as the pilot of the Cobalt Hammer. However, Rian Johnson, the director, discarded this concept. Johnson reasoned that if Finn were unaware that Paige Tico was the sister of Rose Tico, a subsequent scene where Finn witnesses Paige's death would have made Finn appear like, in Johnson's words, an "asshole," something Johnson wanted to avoid writing.
