My mom had this theory that I’m not really happy about but cold sort of see happening and I wondered your feelings in it. She grew up with SW, she was 3 when ANH came out and she loved the prequels. She said that for this trilogy the subversion of expectations Rian Johnson talked about is already playing out in TFA and will in IX. She says she think Poe is the new Han, but quietly force sensitive like Leia was. Rey is the new Leia but a Jedi warrior like Luke was. Finn is the New Luke but

not force sensitive. But this time the Han and Leia par 2 don’t get together, the Luke and Leia part 2 get together keeping the one SW romance thing constant, a force sensitive in love with a non force sensitive. I have to admit I could see things going that way but I don’t really like the idea of Finn with no powers especially since Poe didn’t seem to have them and now he does, just like Holdo. Wondering what you think?

I believe an emerging theme in the sequels is that the Force is in everyone and belongs to everyone, not just a powerful few. Leia’s confirmation in the Poe Dameron comic that Poe has a form of Force sesitivity but that the Force is also in everyone, the reveal of Rey’s parentage in TLJ and Broom Boy, all seem to be saying that the Force is not some exclusive thing, certainly not exclusive to a bloodline.

I mean, I do have issues with the retcon that the Skywalkers were ever thought of as this super-powerful elite bloodline, that’s a fandom concept and not canon. But I do see the intent, even if I disagree with the execution.

So if the franchise is going to be consistent with the direction they’re setting up, hopefully the whole dichotomy between Force users/non-Force users will become moot. The OT frame, then, would not apply to the ST. I am pleased that your mother thinks Finnrey is happening, though. Fingers crossed!

reysky-advocate isn’t that reysky blog that celebrated that Mark was being selected by Lucasfilm as “Best Actor” to Academy Awards bc they thought it was a confirmation to reysky and they totally ignored that Boyega was the male lead but he was in the list as “supporting actor”? People even called them out

I think I recognize the url, but when I go to the blog now it just has a few movie posters and no SW content?

I’m making Finn and his family on The Sims 4 (parents, one young sister and a grandma, I don’t recommend to create big families in this game) but Finn’s cat ran away and now his entire family is sad. Apparently it’s normal and the cat will be back in some days also I hope they will release more Star Wars costumes (they has Boba Fett’s)

Oh no. 😦 It’s been a few days I think–has the cat come back? Also you should totally dress Finn in Boba’s costume if you can 😂

If they really wanted to go all out with it, they could keep the time skip and have Rey not tell Finn she tried to save Ren. It’d be out of character, but so was her trying to save Ren. Then, Kylo would tell Finn about to try and get the two to fight each other instead of him. It probably couldn’t fit, but would be an interesting idea.

I can see it happening, though she’d be wrong not to tell Finn. With her abandonment issues she might fear that Finn would no longer love her if he knew. For that matter, I can see her being shocked and distressed at learning he tried to sacrifice his life in battle. These are potentially interesting points of internal and relationship conflict.
