'Star Wars' Bosses 'Talked About' Including Finn And Poe Romance In New Film

We've got good news and bad news for those Finn/Poe shippers.

One thing a lot of ‘Star Wars’ fans took away from the most recent instalment of the sci-fi saga was the apparent chemistry between John Boyega and Oscar Isaac’s characters.

Indeed, certain corners of the internet are devoted entirely to shipping Finn and Poe, with LucasFilms boss Kathleen Kennedy now admitting that producers had contemplated incorporating a romantic relationship between the two in Episode VIII.

However, don’t get too excited, as it doesn’t sound like fans are going to be getting what they want (at least, not yet).

Oscar Isaac previously fuelled the rumours of a potential romance with a cryptic comment during an interview on ‘Ellen’.

When asked about whether there could be romance with any other character on the cards for Poe in future instalments, he revealed: “I think [there’s a] very subtle romance happening… you have to look very closely. You have to look very closely. You have to watch it a few times to see the subtle hits.

“But there was… at least, I was playing romance.”

John Boyega seemed less convinced, though, later telling Shortlist magazine: [The speculation is] so not true. Oscar wishes it was though, it’s all in his head.

Fans of ‘Star Wars’ previously called for the inclusion of a same-sex relationship in the wake of the Orlando terrorist attack last summer.

‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ will be released on 15 December 2017.

"When you’re a person that’s trying to be a public figure and you’re black and you’re gay and for some people it’s a little too much for them to handle...

"I think there are a lot of people who are afraid to be who they are and if I have to sacrifice a little bit of fame and a little bit of success because I’m being 100 percent truthful with who I am, hopefully that will create a paved way for someone else."

'[Being gay] been a non-issue for me. But the same thing that’s been a blessing in my life can lead someone to suicide. Every time I hear about an LGBTQ kid committing suicide, it’s just so much frustration. I just think about lost potential because a parent wasn’t accepting or a friend wasn’t, and it ended an LGBTQ kid’s life.

"I really want the parents of my audience to see these videos actually. And realise that their reaction influences their kid’s entire experience. Showing them two sides of the coin: this is how it could go or this is how it could go. It’s up to you."
