Honestly have no idea which side people are on with this hand holding thing but I’d like to just mention something people tend to forget which is Rey’s a loner, or at least fancies herself one. I figure that has more to do with the “don’t hold my hand” than anything else.
Watching J.J.'s film my interpretation was that this was funny that a white girl wouldn’t want a black guy to keep bugging her. It was a throwback. Not PC. I thought it was hilarious.
uh, no. i think you must be trolling. it was quite simply a running joke about how Finn has a savior complex and thinks he is helping Rey, when really she is the one helping him. they picked it up again in the rathtar scene where she shut the door on the rathar, saving finn. Finn didn’t know this, and Rey didn’t tell him either, “That was lucky”. there is nothing in the film to suggest anything about race being involved in their interactions.
