Beyond the sake of “shipping”, I think playing up the potential Finn/Poe chemistry would be a good way to recontextualize Finn’s “I never told you” subplot that is never really resolved.

  • Have Finn call out to Poe instead of Rey in the sinking fields. “Poe, I never told you!”
  • Rey asks Finn what he was going to tell him instead of her.
  • When Finn and Poe are about to be executed, Poe asks, "So what were you going to tell me?"
  • At the end, Poe gives Finn the flirty look instead of Zorri.

I’m sure more little hints could be added beyond these. And although we don’t get a kiss, and I think there is enough there for adults to understand, at least. Since we never see on screen Rey learning about Finn’s force sensitivity, I think implying instead that Finn has feelings for Poe could work as an interesting alternative that could actually have some semblance of a payoff.
