Rey's Love Interest?

Hey now! All those male dominated movies she helped make for, 30+ years is just her pushing the feminist agenda!

Indiana Jones? Feminist lies!

Back to the Future? Blatant man-hating.

Jurassic Park? Come on man! All the dinosaurs were female and they only killed men!

I have no real vested stand in Rey's love interest either.

For all we know she's a cybernetic and lacks the bits and pieces for it to matter.

 

FIERCE INDEPENDENT WOMEN

I rest my case.

 

Protect the penis man. It's in danger.

 

I'm now of the opinion that Rey won't have a love interest in the ST. It seems like Finn and Rose are going to be the main romance and they only really feature one romance per trilogy and I just don't see Rey's storyline able to accommodate anything worthy. And I'm more than ok with that.

I did vote Poe though and I still sorta stand by it. I think the ST will end with a hint of who Rey will have a relationship and kids with. As the "jedi" (or whatever it is now) will continue into future films. And I don't see it through Kylo. I could see some version of the Rey-Poe scene that was supposed to be at the end of TFA being in IX and that's all we get. Until EU materials and we learn how things turned out in X-XII. I don't think it's a coincidence that Poe grew up with the other force tree. Perhaps there's something significant there.

 

So Rian Johnson is breaking new ground by having a Force Plot Isolated from a Romance Plot for most of the movie?

I dont see Poe. That is not something you do to your Bro. Plus I want Poe to be Gay.

 

It seems to me that Finn will be paired with Rose so not sure why Poe wouldn't "do that to his bro"?

I just don't see how they would fit it into Rey's storyline with her storyline being force-focused. And they do seem to be following the pattern of Rey being trained as part of her storyline like Luke in the OT. In the PT, they pretty much skipped over that between TPM and AOTC. I would love it if the force and resistance stuff merged and I think it's possible for act 3 of TLJ. But, given the spoilers, it seems like they are indeed separate for most of the film. If you want to blame Rian, go ahead.

 

Poe and Rey havent even met in the Movies yet. Seems unlikely to meet before the end of Ep VIII at the earliest. I am not seeing the romance setup.

 

Rey <3 Luke.

 

That's what I'm saying. I don't think Rey is going to have a full-on romance in the ST. But I think she will have children - Disney wants this $$ moneymaker to continue. I think it makes sense that Rey's partner/husband will turn out to be someone we know. Take the scene that was supposed to be at the end of TFA but was cut (Rey-Poe have an awkward hug, meet/flirt, are attracted to each other), put it in IX, there ya go. It's a hint as to where it's going without spelling it out. We can learn what happened in other materials or the following trilogy. Rey doesn't need to have a full on-screen romance in the ST for her to have children for the continuing stories. It could be a stranger or it could be Poe. Doesn't matter but I would pick someone the audience already knows if I was writing it. But that's just me.

 

So Finn, Kylo and Poe are the options then.

Meh dont like it. Let Poe be gay. Oscar wants it that way. Might as well indulge him.

 

yep. we probably just haven't actually met him yet.

 

The fan girl inside me has to say something...
The thing is... Oscar is too gorgeousand - that's the worst/best - too much flirting.
I see him flirting with BB8 too...
Give him a piece of stone and you will think he is sexually attracted by stones.

But - as told - no matter who the partner is.. let him be a bit naked.

 

We'll trade. You get naked Poe if Rey also has a nude scene.

 

Ok, seriously speaking I see a single Jedi Rey. That will be my first choise.
But I also see the point of a romance involving her.
If so: he could be whoever.
And if I say whoever it's becouse I don't see a problem even with Poe.

I've always had the feeling - since day one (going out of the theater) - that it was too weird that 2 of the main characters don't share a line in the movie.
Too much. So much so, that I almost immeditly suspected it was indeed a clue....

Keeping aside what I've wrote elsewhere (and believe to be true) about the connections between old characters/new characters
(and that works perfectly with what I'm about to say) it's not the first time in SWU it happens:
Vader and Luke don't meet (really) in ANH, still their relantionship is the most important of the OT.

Then there's the novelization and we know (from Pablo tweets) that the meeting was in the script and that it was as you describe it.
Among the many is the only one 100% in the romance/flirting area.

But the scene wasn't shooted.

First reason: it was too much in the romance area and they don't want to take that direction.

But there could be others...

It was too much into the flirting/romance area and whether or not they're going to develop a romance plot (you know... Luke and Leia kissed, however....)
that scene was supposed to come just after Han's death. Even without it the movie don't give us enough time to mourn it
I honestly think it would have appeared inappropriate.

So, taking everything into account... he's a contender as much as the others.

Back to the fun stuff....

But if the point is, Rey must have a child and he is a contender.... think about it.

It's the craziest thoery you'll ever hear. So much so, that if right (99,9% is not) it could totally ruin for you the ST.

But that's how (and who) Poe+Rey child would be:

Spoiler

basically....

The greatest pilot in the Galaxy (like dad and mom) and a black leader (like dad).
A gifted mechanic (like mom)
Someone that speaks binary (like mom and dad)
Someone impatience (dad says of himself "patience never was my best suit" in Poe flight Log)
The son of a great force user, one of strongest ever lived...
Maybe the Rey of Light itself/herself
​

That's Anakin Skywalker

 

I personally think that Reylo will be the end outcome. And I'm honestly happy about that. There is a sort of intensity between them that I really like. And I am a Stormpilot shipper so obviously I think Finn and Poe will end up together :3

 

wonky penis jokes to one side (or the other).. i think i agree here.

I'm not overly convinced that there will be any romance stories in this trilogy. There may be hints of things to come.. brief moments that perhaps Rey will share with Ben/Finn/Poe/Rose.. whoever that make us think that something might be there in the future.

If they go down the Reylo route, then they will need to make sure that it isn't a big fat smelly copy of Twilight. the good girl falling for the bad boy (bad boy term is subjective here... what was Edward Cullen? good guy? bad guy? lol) is an interesting mechanic that has been used for many years now. Reylo definitely has interesting possibilities though, but i'm not sure we'll see it in this trilogy.

 

i'm not sure we'll see it full blown either, but i'd be okay with hint of a possibility-to-come.
and if you believe Ben Solo can be redeemed, then there's zero threat of her falling for a "bad boy".
the only way Disney would ever put those two together is if they were going to love and protect and care for one another.
and i can't imagine why anyone would object to that.

 

i thought we were finished with the penis jokes?

well you know that i think and want Ben Solo to come back to the light side, but even if that happens.. the boy will have one or two pieces of baggage that he will never get over. He can't become a lovable angelic boy scout over night, and from my own life experiences... a romance started whilst dealing with huge burdens could actually be the worse thing he could do.

in my opinion, if Ben finds redemption.. he will be broken, but motivated. more broken than even now when he tries to live with what he did as Kylo Ren, and motivated to do some good in the galaxy to try and give something... anything back for the bad things he did.

big romance in the middle of all that? sheesh... i wouldn't recommend that to either Ben or Rey.

 

dude! wow! no! hahahaha

this is why i remain skeptical. on the one hand it's Star Wars and in fairy tales people just move on from trauma, but on the other hand, this is a new Star Wars with a deeper sensibility about these things.

i agree totally with this. he needs to work on himself and his atonement if he comes back--and that should absolutely be his focus.

in the real world, no. no way.
the only thing i see complicating this question (or making it possible), is if they do share a Force bond that puts them sympatico in a way that makes sense--and even then less of a kissy faced romance thing than a love with mutual respect and support.
he might need Rey to ground himself and there's no shame in that.
but yeah, while i can imagine a sparky attraction, i think it wouldn't serve the story except as comedy--and i'm not sure that's appropriate.
but as i always say: a good story done well can get away with just about anything.
any storyline in which Ben comes home has my full support ~ hahahaha

 

which weirdo voted luke seriously ?


kylo
