"'Finn and Rey, they're just friends. Finn is a Storm Trooper so he doesn't really know what's going on, so the romance thing is something that's going to be interesting in the next instalment. It's not going to go the way you think it's going to go.'"
"So clearly he falls in love with someone's a**?"
"Right, cuz that's not where you think it's going to go."
*laughs*
"No, I mean it does... I mean that is sort of, in a weird way, it reads as an admission that there is a romance thing. Right?"
"Little bit."
"Not with him."
"'Romance is a thing that's going to be interesting in the next instalment, it's not going to go the way you think it's going to go."
"Sooo..."
"It's like a weird admission--"
"It's Rey and Kylo, everybody knows this."
*scoffs/laughs*
"I was thinking Luke. She's into hobos."

Guys, they support Ruke as well.

@BastilaBey

Yes, I just finished. RIP Finnrey was just mentioned in passing, they cared more about Tom Hardy and butt slapping. Nobody cares about Finnrey.

I think that the biggest deal is that they aren't hearing anything that implies a particular dark scene in VIII and think that Han kill won't be topped but that VIII will be more downbeat than having a big dark moment. They say they hear stuff that's more about action.

I read that "it's Rey and Kylo...I'm thinking Luke" joke that they pretty much know it's Rey and Kylo. Plus Mark's "Dangerous dreamboat" tweet that he deleted and replaced with a slightly different one. Rey is intrigued. That, I think, is the big deal.

BastilaBey wrote:@Vaderito Well the big elephant in the room is...who else is it going to be, if not Kylo? It's why people have had to start arguing for Rey to have no romance at all, because she's going to be a Jedi. Which doesn't ring true, since we know from JJ that there was a central romance planned before Finn was even a character. Finnrey was probably never going to happen, not even in initial draft stages.

Not sure if you've watched Letter Never Sent, and I'm trying not to put too much stock in it since of course Johnson only vaguely cited it as inspiration, but it is a little dark. Unrequited (at least initially) obsessive love kind of has to be, right? I'd much rather have that than Anidala cheese and fluff, to be honest. Give me all the Kylo angst, as he struggles to pretend he doesn't feel any compassion for the beautiful scavenger who scarred his face

Leads me to believe:
a) that story is true
b) what with this and the Tom Hardy thing,Rian Johnson has an arse fetish

@Blackcanary

I can't believe that both a** fetishes are in the movie so one scene must be for charity as in "not in the movie". It's a variation of the same scene, so I'd say Tom and Finn = in the movie but Princes, Finn, Rey and BdT = charity skit (likely Star Wars Celebration Event in June that takes place in London, BTW).
