Striking a lightsaber into the hearts of “Star Wars” fans, it appears that a romance between Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) and Finn (John Boyega) will not materialize in “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.”


lol wtf??

quote:

But that does not necessarily mean there won’t be any LGBTQ representation in the final film in the Skywalker saga, either.

The “Star Wars” fan community latched onto the notion of a romantic connection between Finn and Poe almost immediately after the premiere of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” in 2015, ‘shipping the characters with hashtags like “FinnPoe” and “Stormpilot.”



Did they really??

quote:

The filmmaker noted that he’s always strived to find a cast for “Star Wars” that “looked more the way the world looks than not.”

“And in the case of the LGBTQ community, it was important to me that people who go to see this movie feel that they’re being represented in the film,” Abrams said.

I don't think this trilogy can be redeemed so a giant heaping pile of shite where they try to cover all the popular social views of Disney would be hilarious. Especially seeing all the hardline "star wars can do no wrong" guys try to defend it.

In a movie that takes place in space with endless possibilities of race, gender, etc...I wouldn’t care if they just did it, but the pandering is what makes it annoying as hell.

Given that only one person has ever been pregnant on screen in 10 films, to this point, WTF does it matter what they do with their genitals?

Balance the fricking Force.

They’re trying to make StarWars into something more than it ever was.

It’s been a coming of age tale, father/son tale, and wrapped in Good v Evil and redemption of a sort.

The political tripe, the romance focus, the space horse nonsense, is all shoe-horned drivel that seems awkward and forced.

I feel in a quarter century or so there will be an entire re-boot.

Poe better ask for consent before he slaps Finn's arse or I'm done with Star Wars.

I think those that will have melted over it are already lost on SW after TLJ including me.
