John Boyega Reveals Who He Wants Finn to End Up With by the End of STAR WARS: EPISODE IX
In a recent interview with /Film about Pacific Rim: Uprising, John Boyega was asked a couple of questions about his Star Wars character Finn. It is important to note that Boyega does not know what is happening in Episode IX yet. In the interview, he does mention that he’s hoping to be able to speak with director J.J. Abrams when he’s in LA to find out this information, but for now, he can only speculate. The big question he was asked though, was about Finn’s romantic relationships. Ever since The Force Awakens, Finn has been shipped with Rey and Poe, then Rose entered the picture in The Last Jedi and many felt like this may set up a love triangle. Another character that Finn has apparently being shipped with is Chewbacca though. I wasn’t aware of this, but Boyega says people are shipping him and Chewie. So, with all of these options, who does Boyega want to end up with?
“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.”
Personally, I’m not a fan of any of these pairings. I really like the endearing friendship that is growing between Finn and Rey and don’t really want it to turn into a romance. I’m not a fan of Finn and Rose either. That seems a little forced in my opinion and it’s clear that at this point, Finn does not reciprocate Rose’s feelings at all. I also am getting sick of these big blockbusters throwing romance into every movie just to have romance. I would be perfectly happy if there were no romantic pairings in these films. Who do you think Finn should end up with, if anyone?
