The romance - will it go anywhere?

If anything, Doctor Who often seems eager to shoehorn in gay characters just to show how trendy & progressive they are. Yes, Vastra & Jenny are a multi-species lesbian couple, WE GET IT ALREADY!
I'm looking for the flaw in your logic but I can't seem to find it. Well done!

poe and finn? its was rey and finn to me that seemed to be the people that romantically liked each other.
It's not like FOX would have offered a discount to all racists and homophobes if they could prove that they were racists and homophobes.
"We'll take $15 dollars off your HBO bill every month, if you keep sending in vines to our accounts department where you tell a stranger that Jews are awful."
Besides, everybugger at FOX, other than Greg Kelly, are definitely paid to pretend to be a little more bigoted than they possibly really are.
Maybe it's like a Vegan selling burgers at McDonalds, and maybe it's all face value, but even so, there is an unmistakable level of pageantry in FOX's infotainment.
The super rich do not watch TV.
The super poor have a terrible world view.
HBO tries to sell product to 10 million people inbetween those two points.
This is now the only romance I can possibly be invested in.
I wouldn't say there was an actual "romance" between Finn & Rey. What I did see was a LOT of awkward one-sided attempts at flirting. I recognized it right away because I've done my fair share of it. I figure Rey has probably seen enough of it to recognize it but probably too much of it to even notice it any more. I would be fine with seeing that kind of relationship continue between the two of them for a while. It's cute.
I figured I'd give this thread a bump since Abrams himself has now come out (yes, an intentional pun) and said that future Star Wars movies will include gay characters.
Although it doesn't specify Finn and Poe, this announcement still does kind of take the wind out of the sails of all those "Disney won't risk offending homophobes" arguments earlier in the thread.

Notice he said nothing about how prominent said characters would be. Don't be surprised if it's a knowing glance or embrace of a side character with his/her unnamed partner, with the actual character details expanded upon in a novel.
I like Rey and Finn. I can see Poe and Finn. But I can see where Finn x Poe shippers are stretching things a little. Just let it evolve, everyone. And show that it's okay for men to be open without being gay. You should be able to be open, gay or straight.
I guess if it's future movies it won't be Han and Chewbacca. I'm not a shipper but I could buy that there was more chemistry with Finn and Poe than with Rey. Hell, he's even wearing Poe's jacket lol. Maybe that's just Oscar Isaac's charisma at work.
Part of the language in the articles make me wonder though if it's a certainty or if JJ is just expressing that he's open to it.

Oscar made Poe very charismatic and friendly. I read "Before the Awakening" and I think Poe is very generous with those he befriends because of his own past. He knows Finn has virtually nothing and so giving him his jacket is being a friend. Finn threw away everything to be free.
Finn's clearly a good chap with his heart in the right place, but how good a conversationalist can he be after a lifetime of stormtrooper training? I get the idea a guy like Poe would look for more sophistication in a partner than anyone in Finn's boots could plausibly offer.
I'm happy no matter which direction they take it, but I just hope that Poe is in more of the next movie. Although when watching the movie my first thought was that he and Finn just became immediate best friends like on Step Brothers. Then they started begging General Leia to let them have bunk beds.
- When they met up at the Resistance base, I was reminded of that scene between Luke and Biggs.
Finn and Rey : possible romance
Finn and Poe : definitely bromance
I would like to see the relationship between Rey and Poe. Will they be just friends, or will Poe be flirting with Rey as well?
I don't think they share one line of dialog.
Many parts of Asia is homophobic. Disney just bought Star Wars from Lucas for billions of dollars, and they want to see a big return from their huge investment. And they want this movie to be a big of a success as possible.

I also really didn't see anything between Finn and Poe. To me, it looked more like the beginnings of a relationship like Turk and JD on Scrubs.
Even though Abrams has already burst this bubble, I thought I'd respond to this:

Did any of you see the finale of Gravity Falls? There wasn't any kissing, but they had two male characters basically declare their love on screen and in dialogue! In a "marketed-to-kids" cartoon no less! Of course, that whole series was stretching the envelope in a lot of ways already.
