This article resonated with me a bit, and gave me second thoughts about the whole “Rey Skywalker” bit: https://www.slashfilm.com/rey-in-the-rise-of-skywalker/
I wonder if it would be possible to replace the Force Ghosts of Luke and Leia at the end with that of Ben Solo’s ghost giving Rey an encouraging nod. Then instead of “Rey Skywalker”, she could say something like “Rey…just Rey”. Just a thought.

In fairness, Poe could be bi. But I get it.

He definitely could, as could Finn (especially considering he already hinted at feelings for Rey in TFA and kissed Rose in TLJ). However it’s hard not to read it as a “no-homo” thing in context. I know this is really only disappointing to a certain subset of fans, and it didn’t bug me that much when I watched the movie, but I think Finn/Poe at the end would have made more sense than introducing a new love interest for Poe and a potential love interest for Finn this late in the game.
