quote:

star John Boyega says there's no romance between his character, Finn, and Daisy Ridley's Rey. However, he's not ruling out a romance in the plot.

“Finn and Rey – they’re just friends,” Boyega told Variety. “Finn is a stormtrooper, so he doesn’t really know what’s going on. So the romance thing is something that’s going to be interesting in the next installment. It’s not going to go the way you think it’s going to go.”



I'm pretty sure Boyega is playing on the idea of a Poe/Finn romance that a lot of fans are hoping for/terrified of but I think he's just playing with them while really talking about two other characters.

If that's the case, who could it be?

Maybe Luke and Rey's mother? Who's to say she's dead and gone and not coming back in VIII and IX?

The book subtly hinted at a Poe/ Rey romance.

Episode 7 gets better every time I watch it. I love that movie. Cannot wait for 8.

I'd be fine with no romance. Totally unnecessary

So basically 75% of all future Star Wars scuttlebutt will involve who is/ who isn't gay and who might be hooking up.

Great.

I think it's going to be some gay romance shoehorned in to make a political point. But I guess we'll see.

At least a gay romance will mean that we won't have to deal with a trilogy about their kids.

If they go the route of making a political statement, they will lose money. It's all about the Benjamin's.

That could be.

It might be in flashbacks.

I bet it's gonna be Poe and Rey. Poe was way too bad arse a character to have that little screen time.

This, they may have a gay secondary character. But never a primary. Though Game of Thrones if full of gay characters and they don't lose audience for that.
Plus the narrative is now, if you are against people's right to love who they wish, then you are a bad guy. LINK

Everyone is thinking about Rey. But that's not daring enough.

So it's obviously going to be Finn/Chewbacca.

Finn will identify as a wookie and fall in love with Chewbacca.

Game of Thrones:

1) is not a kids/teen show.
2) is the price of HBO ... not expensive as shite movie tickets.
3) is awesome enough to overcome the gay shite.
4) DOES lose audience during those scenes.


If Star Wars goes gay or trans ... my family and I are out. I'm sure we won't be the only ones.
