If it’s a Finn/Poe relationship that wouldn’t be an issue. Clearly those characters have more going on than just their sexuality.

That is true, but I don’t think homosexuality should be a main theme for a Star Wars film. There are plenty of other films for that. If they are, that’s fine, but I don’t want to be hit over the head with it if that’s the case.

Would you mind “being hit over the head” with it if it were heterosexuality?

I just think Star Wars should be more inclusive.

I’d rather they focus on good characters than making sure everyone feels included. There are way too many different kinds of people, it’s simply unfeasible to achieve, because if it’s not one thing, it’ll be another.

I’m not asking for them to go out of their way to include all types of people (but the more, the better). But as I said these are good characters and giving them a relationship is not going to ruin that. If anything, it’ll only make them more interesting.

And, again as I said, they wouldn’t be bending over backwards for it. In fact, if Rey is separate from Finn and Poe throughout the majority of the movie, Finn/Poe would actually be the easiest romantic relationship for them to show and the one that would make the most narrative sense.
