    It's longer than that - only Jakku takes at least one day - it is night when attack on Jakku village happens, but Rey meets BB-8 near her AT-AT during the day and tells him he can only stay one night, Finn was unconscious for a while and wondered through the desert, then he meets Rey and BB-8 at Niima Outpost, BB-8 is still with her (so if he stayed the night, it could actually be TWO days)... Plus, we don't know how long space travel to Takodana lasted. And we have to account things we didn't see, Poe escaping Jakku and finding his way to Resistance base and then to Takodana. At the end of the movie, Rey spends at least a day or two on D'Qar.

    While Luke's time on Dagobah and Han and Leia's journey to Bespin seem a couple of days on screen, it was confirmed that it was actually 2 months. Time in Star Wars is wonky, but we were told exact time in TLJ, 18 hours without Crait battle.

    So, at least a few days, maybe even a week for Finn and Rey.

    Still short, I won't argue, but I feel that Finn's attempt at rescuing her after he clearly wanted to get away, after protecting her while she was unconscious and getting hurt over it, carry more weight in terms of joint experience. But, that is just my opinion.

    Did you see that Finn-Rey hug though? Pretty personal if you ask me. Though could also be considered a very friendly hug. You can tell they missed each other.

    Most heartwarming moment for me than hand holding force bond scene. I was like "finally! They've reunited!"

    Me too. Though I would personally love to see that romance, even if it stayed a really good friendship, I love it. I think they compliment each other really well. But yes! I thought it was a magical moment as well.

    We'll see where that goes with the whole Rose (thing for Finn) going now. I am interested to see where that goes. I feel Finn has much more of an affinity for Rey than Rose. Interesting stuff

    I think John Boyega has said he and Rey are like siblings.

    I think Rose could grow on me. She was sweet:)

    Yes indeed, and I can see it going that way as well. As for Rose, I agree she was indeed a sweetheart. I like her character as well. It could go either way.

    Either way, good story telling and character development IMO

    Hux enters the throne room and sees the 8 pack :

    - S-s-supreme leadaahh I-I-I I do you ... huh.. Do you have something you could pu...
    (Kylo ren approaches Hux, interrupts him and pinches his chin)
    - SHHHHH Army. (Armitage's nickname) everything's gonna be alright...
    - Supreme leadaahh ! All these years... Th-th-the rivalry ?...
    (Kylo's face turns red, eyes aiming at the floor, little smile on his face)
    - Now you understand why I needed the girl. To take out Snoke so whe could be alone ...

    To be continued...

    Hux would be a tsundere! (A blushing, violently denying his attraction type! But he'd keep up the antagonistic side.) like a Japanese schoolgirl.

    So it'd go like this!

    Hux Enters throne room and sees the eight pack.

    -"Kylo...y-y-you idiot! Why aren't you w-w-wearing a shirt? Spineless fool!"
    -"because I love you Hux! I always have! The bantering made me fall for you! And erotic asphyxiation!"
    -"Th-that's not right. Why w-w-would someone like you for fall for me?"
    -"because you're cute!"
    (Hux runs from the room screaming and bkushing.)

    Kylo is abusive/abused in every relationship he still has.
    He was abused by Snoke.
    He felt abused by Luke.
    He's abusive to Rey.
    He's abusive to Hux.

    The circle is unbroken.

    And that's why I want to see him break it. More than anything. I want to see someone who's shown to escape the clutches of the circle of abuse.
