Official Finn Episode VIII thread

He may be or may not be FS, but he is the living embodiment of the force. Hence his ID FN 2187. As you said. Nothing happens if Finn doesn't awaken.

 

Is it weird that they have kind of set up Finn and Rey to be like the 2 parts of ROTJ Luke? Force User and Rebellion focal point?

 

I told you that your interpretation into what I had written was completely off the mark yet you continue to insinuate your opinion as if it were mine. Stop trying to read between the lines, what I said is what I meant. I never once said Finn was a secondary character or sidekick (although it looks like he does take more of a backseat in TLJ) if you don't like the Chewbacca analogy that's your prerogative. I never said it with the intention to cause offense. If you don't like it that's fine, you've said your piece, now drop it.

 

Hey, I think you may be confusing posters. You replied to a completely different poster saying their interpretation was off the mark. This is another poster. Just saying.

Also, just my opinion, I don't think you're going to gain much traction with:

1. Comparisons with Chewbacca
2. Suggesting elevation was unnecessary or undesirable for Finn

I think both run counter to the desires of most Finn fans and even what Rian Johnson said regarding Finn in the next movie needing strengthening.

 

it's fan made but I' d like to watch that one lol

 

Daisy talking about Finn (for all those people who were wondering why she didn't speak about him more)

I can't wait for them to reunite. He's the first person she's met that she considers family. Best peanuts in the galaxy!

 

It is pretty disappointing, imo. :|

But the closer we get the TLJ, the stronger my suspicion is that Rey isn't going to have a very overt romantic arc. Rose seems fun, I guess? Can't really get a read on her yet.

 

On the surface they certainly appear to be the same, but I think it's intentional to set people up for the changes that will come. Some people complained so much about TFA being a remake of ANH that they didn't look into the movie with any depth. On the surface the movie seems similar to ANH. However the motivations of the characters are totally different than ANH. This is where the real focus needs to be. Just because we saw Rey on a sandy planet doesn't make her Luke. People have generalized so much when it comes to this film that they aren't realizing this is not that kind of story. This is a character driven story. For all the complaints JJ was given, his focus was always the characters. Everything else was just window dressing. If you brush anything off it might come back to bite you.

We all know they are trying to set us up with something. In any case you have to go over all the clues. Most don't. Everyone assumes it's about Rey, but as some have noticed. What is it exactly are they talking about when it comes to Rey? It's usually not about her as an individual, but who she is attached to. She has the force some say, but other than that no one has a real explanation to make it about her. I'll go along, and say Rey is the lead, but it would be nice to eventually find out what is she going to be leading.

Basically.

It was never going to be a romance. I don't think. Would I like it? Sure, if done well. But I think Disney is going to play it safe with a platonic soul-mates sort of thing. I see a force-bond but not much more?

What makes you cringe, tho?

 

if they want to kill asian markets , the best way is to pair Finn and rose in a romantic way. They are worse there ( in asia about this topic ...)

I' d love for star wars no to have any romance. It would be the best for the new trilogy. A family bond look a like , is great .

A romantic love btw kylo and rey, is also the worse thing it could happen to my opinion. If she fall in love with Kylo it won't help my case in order to like her character.

As for Kylo ren, I think he can't care less about love.

At this point a romance would be strange in any pairing anyway.

Rey and Finn will be separated for most of the movie 's duration in the tlj, a romance is out of question. It needs time to be build . they need to share a lot more time together . and even in tfa , it wasn't the case.

for once , I want a star wars without romance. And without creepy , bdsm romance , 50 shades style reylo romance . LOL

 

She's actually talking about them in TFA and not TLJ in that video clip. Maybe she mentioned TLJ and their relationship in it elsewhere?

 

I agree, especially about the Reylo part. There is no need for romance, especially if it is shoehorned. However, judging by Rogue One and the fact that no one complained in it about its lack of love story, we know that Lucasfilm knows that people don't clamour for it.

 

I doubt the youth feel that way. I was just watching a break dance competition between some Japanese females, and the things these girls are doing today is far more advanced than the stuff guys were doing in the Bronx in the early 80s. They've taken it to a whole new level, and it's beautiful. Other groups have always taken some things from blacks and then applied it to their own cultures which makes things even more special. There is a change going on, and people all over want to know more than what they have been given. Have you checked into Korean Soul Music? What's crazy is that they are picking up that good music. That good 70's and early 80's vibe.

 

No! She was explaining her relationship with Finn in general in the question but nothing about TLJ. We don't know much about Rey and Finn in TLJ at all beyond that they don't interact much.

It's annoying.

Exactly. They need to start trusting their markets more. Both with Finn and Rey and Finn and Rose

 

Now I get it! I can just see the romance now! Rey and Finn kiss and she says: "Kissing you is like kissing my brother." just like that infamous kiss Marty McFly had with his younger mother in Back to the Future.(ugh!)

 

i don't understand your post. borrowing culture and arts is completely different. I'm lost.

I lived in japan, my best friend is married to a japanese man and lives near tokyo since 20 years. Trust me , they aren't that open mind

 

I actually think they will float a stealth romance between Poe and Admiral Holdo from romantic tension from them being at odds over leadership of the Resistance during the TLJ. This obviously won't be the main story but I am cool with it if it kills the FinnPo romance crap.

Btw I am also against Reylo. Think the asian fanbase would have a fit if he and Rose get together ( not against it if it works in the story just saying Disneys bottom line will reject this most likely). And in no way do I believe Disney was gonna make Rey and Finn romance a thing. So much so if they found a way to make them related to stop any questions about it I would not be surprised.
