John Boyega Wants To Ditch Rose As Love Interest After Just One Movie

The Force Awakens didn’t feature a romantic relationship between Finn and Rey, and I think a lot of people loved that. But it seems like those same fans now really want to see Finn in a romance, whether it’s with Rey or , Poe or Rose....

Boyega: Because Finn is the one character, for me, who has a distinct, unique relationship with everybody. He had this kind of banterous relationship with Han, then he has this loving relationship with Rey. Now with Rose, it feels like he has this great relationship. Personally? Rey. Yeah, Rey.

Is true love dead?

According to the article, "within the first few minutes of Finn meeting Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it’s obvious he has a crush on her." I didn't pick up on that. It felt more like she had interest, but he was oblivious to it. Even when she kissed him, he was taken aback.

A Finn/Rey romance seems most believable, and most likely to happen.

With the way they treat Finn in these films (like a schmuck and a clown) he'll probably end up with that other trilogy clown Captain Phasma (who isn't dead and secretly loves him).

That awkward moment when you realize going into the final film of this Di$ney trilogy that the main characters still barely know each other or haven't really even met.

first 2 films took place over like 2 weeks?

[–] Threadkiller (3080) 7 years ago

*shrugs* In any case Finn & Rey have had most of one day plus change of meaningful interaction. Poe/Rey still haven't really met and frankly Poe & Finn still don't know each other very well either despite their improbable buddy buddy reunion in TFA.

I'd be all for Finn & Rey if either of them were remotely interesting characters which they are not. "Reylo" actually had more intriguing character arc/story potential to give some layers to ultra bland MaRey Sue but they seemed to close the door on that before it ever got started.
