    Finn and Poe?

    As picked up by outlets including Fusion and Buzzfeed, social media platforms such as Tumblr have popularized the idea that Finn and Poe — call them “Pinn” or “Foe” — could be “more than friends,” even if that’s not what’s presented in the film. In the movie, the two save each other’s lives, Poe rechristens the deserting Stormtrooper known as FN-2187 as “Finn,” Poe lets Finn keep his jacket because “it suits [him],” and they share a meaningful moment before heading off into battle, as seen above.

    Those are all, as depicted in the movie, moments of friendship — though plenty of movie romances have been built on less — but it’s enough evidence to have inspired plenty of fan art, gifs, photosets and unsurprisingly NSFW fan fiction.

    In a “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” interview aired the day before the film’s release, DeGeneres asked Boyega, Isaac and Daisy Ridley (Rey) about potential romances involving their characters — all were typically vague and jokey, though Isaac’s answer and an interjection from Boyega gave further fodder to those who want to believe.


    “I think it’s a very subtle relationship that’s happening,” Isaac said. “You have to watch it a few times to see the little hints, but there was. At least I was playing romance.” Boyega starts to interject to agree, and Isaac clarifies, “I won’t say with which character.”

    Directed by J.J. Abrams, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is in theaters now, but fans will have to wait another year and a half before Finn, Poe and Rey return in Episode VIII (written and directed by Rian Johnson), scheduled for release on May 26, 2017.

    They will say...

    "How dare homosexuality be FORCED upon us. There is no place for sexuality or romance in Star Wars. Say what? You mean there was romance with Han Solo and Leia AND Anikan and Padamay. Hmmm...CORRECTION; Star Wars shouldn't have a "gay" romance because it makes me uncomfortable."

    If this ever happened in the 2017 movie; many straight people (of all races) will be mad. Black women will be mad and Black gay men will be mad because the romance would be interracial. sigh...I'm tired.

    Since Star Wars is primarily aimed at kids I doubt they'll have the balls to show a homosexual relationship. Also close male friendships can often seem questionable to outsiders in our very homophobic culture but there was a time close male friendships were the norm and weren't always viewed as homosexual. This strikes me as more heroic comradery. Anyone who's played team sports, or served in the armed forces has experienced this. It's a close bond men develop when fighting together on the same side. It's not necessarily sexual. Though it can appear to be homoerotic at times.

    I actually remember watching the movie and saying to myself "I wish Poe and Finn would just kiss already." The chemistry between the two actors didn't come across as just camaraderie (I grew up in Italy so I have a higher "THAT'S GHEY!" threshold than a lot of Americans.) I actually think the writers set it up so that Finn could end up with either one. Both story lines could be plausible as close, fire-forged friends or fire-forged lovers. I'm down with either because all the characters were pretty cool.
