Would you be opposed to a romance between Han and Rey?

[Simon_Jester]

I would much prefer to see the idea that people can change, and that stable relationships can exist even between people who are different. Otherwise, that's not people changing- that's people reverting to their prior nature and breaking up as a result.

I think our society is too much in love with the idea that people have to be more or less identical in order to be together or to find anything desirable in each other. That everyone's relationship has to work on the same footing. It pigeonholes us.

Also I think we should ditch the idea that dumping your significant other is a sign of personal 'growth.' From what I have seen in those around me, it's more common for a relationship to break up because someone refuses to grow, refuses to compromise, adapt, evolve, or accept a higher level of responsibility.

I guess it depends on if Han is a cameo or a transitional sort to ease you into a new era by using an old era to get you comfortable first, or if he is a main/secondary character meant to participate firmly in the main plot line. If he is the first, they may not have to get to deep into his 30 year history and just toss a couple lines out there about where he as been and with who. If he is more substantive in the plot, fans will want more motivations on why he is doing what he is doing.

Now why would anyone be opposed to it? It's not like that sort of thing isn't common as dirt in Hollywood already. What's one more? </sarcasm> </buzzkill>

I can't stand Woody Allen movies because so many of them show an old goat macking on girls in their 20s. It's only slightly less creepy with Harrison Ford and a twentysomething.

The whole Rey-Han situation reminds me of this video!

[Adam Reynolds]

In real life Harrison Ford is married to Callistia Flockheart who is twenty years younger than him. But that is not the same as Daisy Ridley who is fifty years younger than him. He was practically old enough for retirement before she hit puberty. There is something fundamentally wrong with that. Any time the age difference is sufficient that it could reasonably be a father-daughter relationship, there is a problem.

Large age differences, though not usually this extreme, are actually quite common in Hollywood. Jennifer Lawrence in particular is often cast with actors much order than she is(a common choice being Bradly Cooper, 15 years older). In reality the overwhelming majority are within a mere five years. Only around three percent are more than ten years.

I guess it's a moot point now, but I thought I saw a spark there...

[Borgholio]

I guess it's a moot point now, but I thought I saw a spark there...

As did I, but it was more of a "kindred spirit" or father-daughter relationship thing going. Kind of a, "Hey I like this kid..."

[Zeropoint]

EDIT: I was going to make a joke here, but the spoiler tag didn't work like I expected.

I agree that the age difference between Han and Rey is too much.

[Borgholio]

Spoiler tags don't work. Might want to omit it entirely...

Pretty sure she is Luke's kid, which would make Han her uncle.

Also, I am all on board with the Poe/Finn shipping. The social signals were all queer coded between those two...

Oh no doubt.

While I would not be against it myself, I wonder if most of the SW fanbase is ready for an on-screen gay relationship?

I can see for Finn, but not Poe. There could be more to Finns "a cute boyfriend" question. Who's to say that the stormtrooper that leaves a bloody hand on his helmet wasn't a male friend.

I could give two s**ts either way. But it better be organic and make sense. I don't want a "look we have a homosexual couple!" Nonsense

[Batman]

Yeah. Like the Finn/Rey romance isn't inevitable by now.

[Zeropoint]

You'd THINK so, but we've seen how that works out. Some time after their first kiss, they'll discover that they're siblings.

[Prometheus Unbound]

Well han's dead so...

I got more of a friends vibe than a gay vibe from Finn and Poe. Finn's very enthusiastic, but he just seems to be that way in general, and given he's an indoctrinated soldier with no name to being with, Poe might very well be the first real friend he's ever had.

Plus, yes, they're setting up Finn and Rey, it seems.

But hey, in the unlikely event that they want to make Finn bisexual and have him hook up with Rey and Poe, I won't be complaining, as long as its reasonably well-written.

[FaxModem1]

I will give Disney major props if they make two of the three of their next generation of Star Wars heroes gay or bi, and have them become a couple. I just don't see it happening, for domestic and international selling reasons. Finn and Rey seem like the direction they are hinting at, even if Poe and Finn have great chemistry.

[Balrog]

If you're looking for LGBT characters in SW, read the new EU; practically every other character is gay it seems.

As for the making the new main three gay, nope. I really see no way you could make it "reasonably well-written" and/or not seem forced, like every time people bring up making popular straight superheroes suddenly gay, which would just detract from whatever story Ep8 and 9 would try to tell.

[Galvatron]

Why a couple? Why not a bisexual, interracial Heinlein-style group marriage?

Disney: Where the only thing stopping our heroes from starting an orgy is that they have to save the world.

[The Romulan Republic]

Probably a bit too "mature" for the Disney corporation, given their core demographic seems to be kids/families.

Of course, I don't doubt that there's already a hundred fanfics on the subject.
