Thank you for your lovely responses. Excellent discussion.
You’re not helping yourself. I’m willing to entertain an actual discussion with you but this post isn’t doing anything to quell my suspicions that you don’t really have much in the way of a legitimate argument.
In his defense, it sounded like your only real argument was that we have yet to see it in a Star Wars film, so let’s include it.
Exactly.
Nope it’s just there’s no reason not to. If Episode VIII is going to have a romantic relationship (which is likely if you look at the structure of the Star Wars trilogies and really second acts in general), it would realistically be between characters we already know, preferably two of the main three new leads (Rey, Finn, and Poe). Many would look at the possibilities from a traditional, Hollywood perspective (Rey/Finn or Rey/Poe?). But a more interesting perspective, one that reflected the real life landscape of human sexuality, would also consider Finn/Poe. With Rey off doing Jedi stuff and Finn and Poe already having some strong chemistry, to me, it just makes sense (not to mention the fact that we may finally get a female lead that doesn’t have to be in a romantic relationship).
