Off topic, but it still blows my mind how hard they tried to make Finn and Poe not gay. They need to give them both potential romantic interests, but people didn’t like Rose so we have to make a new female character for Finn. And look! Poe’s gotta old flame! She offers for him to runaway with her, but then at the end of the movie she turns down her advances. So I guess Finn and Poe can’t be gay, but they don’t want to pair them with anyone at the end either.
It’s really weird because the two films prior don’t really seem to be setting up any romantic relationships between the two, so why do Finn and Poe need to be confirmed as “not gay,” in the first place? Not to say it’s definitely the case (and it likely isn’t lol) but it really does feel like those two characters were included just to shut up Finn/Poe shippers.
