drakensang Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 It is the third trilogy, and I assume that like the first two, it will have a romance arc. With Rey probably being the new Jedi and apparently the most self-sufficient character among the three mains, Rey/Poe and Rey/Finn seem rather improbable. I am looking forward to a Poe/Finn-pairing. The guys have chemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrouchyOldJedi Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Poe and Finn would make a fun couple. But let's not leave Chewie out of the mix. We all saw the way he looked at Rey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDreamer Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Finn was clearly crushing on Rey back on the Falcon, it just depends if Rey bestfriend-zones him or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilikaa Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I personally hope Poe gets Rey. The hotshot pilot ALWAYS gets the girl . Besides, Rey is a pretty damn good pilot herself so the two already have a lot in common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazeTomahawk Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Did Poe and Rey even meet? I just saw it and I do remember them talking. Poe and Finn definetly have chemistry though. Poe was so happy to see Finn alive and gave him that nod when they passed each other later. Finn looked confused, like "this cool guy keeps talking to me? But I'm nobody!"

DarthDymond Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I'm definitely in favor of a Finn / Rey romance. ...but if Poe / Finn happens? Yeah, I'd ship it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyperLethalViper Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) Topic doesn't have *spoilers* in the title so I'm gonna tag this just in case. Assuming they don't end up being related.... Ren and Rey would be an interesting dynamic. We do see him defending her in that vision Rey has. I'd prefer that over getting rid of the hilarious awkward friendship her and Finn have. Edit: So apparently their is a 10 year age gap between the two. Probably makes this a lot less likely Edited December 25, 2015 by HyperLethalViper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drakensang Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) Hmm. Chewie/Rey: Chewie strikes me more as the type to look for a mate who is less scrawny and tiny and has more fur and more pronounced fangs. But apparently Jabba had a thing for humanoid females, so interspecies attraction is probably a thing in star wars. I can certainly see the appeal of a big, strong, friendly rug. And given that Ashara and Vette as love-interests in swtor for any species didn't raise any protests from the usual suspects, Disney should have no problems with interspecies romance. Chances are, in my opinion, low though. Rey/Finn: I don't know. There is certainly friendship that could develop. But their interactions didn't strike me as flirty, she departed with a rather sisterly kiss on the forehead and she will probably be busy levitating rocks, doing backflips with Luke on her shoulders and meditating, in the foreseeable future. In the OT the new hope didn't get the girl, and in the PT it didn't work that well. Maybe this time a jedi manages to have a relationship. In this case I hope Rey doesn't become a disney princess. Rey/Kylo: Redemption by love? After he went stabby on his dad, and threw her into a tree? Finn/Poe: Well, if a guy gives me his jacket and tells me it suits me with that smile, I'd say he is flirting. And Finn was definitely impressed in that scene in the base. Plus they would be absolutely cute together. Edited December 25, 2015 by drakensang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaibotLiu Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 *** is this thread, it's a Star Wars movie not Dragons Age. With how overly done the "romance" in the PT was, it will be done with extreme subtlety. And Fin/Rey is obvious, Poe is too into his droid.

drakensang Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 With Dragon Age it was easy. Everybody loves Hawke. As for obvious: So was Luke/Leia. Then he hotshot pilot got the princess and the farmboy became the hope of the galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babudabu Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I'd prefer there not to be a romance, unless romantic feelings were simply implied. I'd like that... Implications, ambiguity, things left for the viewer to fill in the blanks. That, or Rey/Finn, they had great chemistry. I don't really care how that relationship evolves as long as they remain on screen together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxetius Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) finn/rey? hell naw, he lied to her like crazy and their paths seperated. Him rescuing her was his attempt at redeeming himself from lying his *** off to her repeatedly. Then that sisterly kiss on the forehead while he was unconscious -- yeah, he friendzoned himself pretty hard. Poe/Finn is where its at. Holy chemistry batman. Hell they had so much chemistry that Finn complimented him when he didn't even know he was there. (THATS ONE AWESOME PILOT!) they're soulmates clearly. Also, Poe named him ffs.

SithKoriandr Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I hope they don't hook Rey and Finn up together, but I do hope they find someone for each of them I just don't like the idea of them both meeting "the one" in the first movie.

drakensang Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 There is always the possibility that Disney plays it conservative. In this case rough-and-tumble-Rey probably 'matures' into a proper Disney-jedi-princess, and instead of defeating Kylo with lightsabery awesomeness, she converts him with cousinly forgiveness and womanly wisdom back to the light, after Finn and Poe manly and valiantly took out the goons. Then she proceeds to marry Poe (while Finn hooks up with Phasma ) and concentrates on producing the next generation of little Jedi to be taught by the reformed Master Ben Solo, after the latter defeated supreme leader Snoke. I want to see Poe and Finn kiss, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garravesh Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Jesus H Christ. What is with the desire to see a romance? No jedi, on film, has yet been able to have a romance and any good come from it........ If Luke were wise he would require all jedi to be eunuchs or the equivalent. /sarcasm Lets all be fair.......since this movie is ripe with 3rd wave feminism Rey needs a female luva........ Gotta be hip and current when making a movie like this...........Maybe the new lightsabers will be rainbow colored too just for solidarity....... A Jedi to be one with the force would be required to purge himself of micro agressions and white priviledge...then he could assume his role as assistant to the powerful broad wielding the energy stick. /sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakensang Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Jesus H Christ. What is with the desire to see a romance? There is always a romance in Star Wars. And besides, I like romances. Lets all be fair.......since this movie is ripe with 3rd wave feminism Rey needs a female luva........ Huh? Young person is drawn in into a perilous adventure and finds strength in religion to overcome the danger? I am admittedly not up-to-date regarding feminism, but it sounds more like the yarn christian-conservatives usually spin. But well, if you want girl-on-girl. Maybe Phasma got out and had a change of heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master-Nala Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) Jesus H Christ. What is with the desire to see a romance? Anakin and Padme (Prequel Trilogy) Han and Leia (Original Trilogy) ?????????? (Sequel Trilogy) .... Profit. That's why. It's not unreasonable at all to assume there's a romance coming. Also, it's always the middle story in the trilogy where the eventual couple hooks up. No jedi, on film, has yet been able to have a romance and any good come from it........ Luke and Leia weren't good? OK I'll give you Ben Solo. If Luke were wise he would require all jedi to be eunuchs or the equivalent. /sarcasm Lets all be fair.......since this movie is ripe with 3rd wave feminism Rey needs a female luva........

Even if the bromance between Finn and Poe becomes a full-fledged romance, that's no reason to assume RL politics have anything to do with it.

Zharik Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 finn/rey? hell naw, he lied to her like crazy and their paths seperated. <snip> Yeah because women are well known for picking the nice guy first. And there was the part where they were getting a little closer and were interrupted, then never had a chance to talk again and now he's unconscious after flying to an entire planet of enemies to rescue her (as confirmed by Chewie). So yeah he's so in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abvora Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) All that, and the fact that immediately after admitting his lie, she told him to stay with her. I wasn't getting anything but a friendship vibe from her, though. I mean, she calls him "my FRIEND" at the end when she says goodbye. Not saying Finn/Rey couldn't happen, but it seems unlikely what with her going her own way to train. Finn/Poe would be...progressive. They certanly had chemistry, but I don't know if Disney would be ballsy enough to make a same-sex couple happen. Kylo/Rey would also be interesting, kind of an inverse of Anakin/Padme--love damned Anakin, love redeems Kylo. Buuuuuuuut it shares a problem with Finn/Poe in that it kind of relies on Disney going "out there", and there's the whole "are they related or not" caveat (personally, I think no, I think she's a Kenobi, but time will tell). Poe/Rey don't even interact this film, and I think it's even less likely they will next film. Edited December 31, 2015 by Abvora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaibotLiu Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Rey could never love Kylo, after what he did. Forgive him maybe. There will be no same sex relationships in the trilogy. Rey and Finn's friendship was already well established earlier in the movie. They didn't need to take considerable efforts to highlight the fact Finn saved her.
