The Last Jedi (2017) // Stranger Things (2017)
Anakin/Padme and Finn/Rey + Battle Couples
“When that door essentially closes and it’s sort of, that Godfather shot of the door closing between Michael and Kay, and the Millennium Falcon’s door separates the two.”– Pablo Hidalgo (x)
So that means bye bye forever, motherfucker, I hope?!?!?
Immediately afterward in the source video they compare the connection to that of Ezra and Maul, which we all know is an epic romance…😂

Han/Leia & Finn/Rey + Forehead Kisses
Anakin Skywalker in ROTS (2005) // Finn in TLJ (2017)
What if Rey sees Finn fighting the First Order in her force vision and that’s why she decides to go back like how Luke reacted after witnissing Han and Leia in danger in The Empire Strikes Back? I’m not saying Finn needs Rey’s protection-he can handle himself very well. By showing how much Rey cares about Finn in this way the movie can avoid the racist trope that you are afraid might happen.
OHHHHHH yeah i want to see it!!!
This is the thing I want to see. Not in terms of her saving him like a damsel in distress (he didn’t save her this way either) but her being SO concerned for him when she realizes he’s in danger, that she leaves Ahch-To to help him. And so just like he ran into the belly of the FO for her, she will run into the belly of the FO for him. And they will both join forces when they meet and fight their way out together with Rose. (and potentially Luke, who might decide to follow Rey unlike Yoda who was chilling)
And the parallel to TESB would make it even better.
(also this would be a realistic reason for Rey to somehow end up in Snoke’s throne room… she gets caught while on the destroyer…. and I think it’s even possible that they somehow lure her there bc Kylo knows how much Finn means to her….. *cough*)
And remember, Luke didn’t turn out to be the rescuer he thought he would be. It was he who ended up needing Han, Leia, and Lando’s help. Similarly, it doesn’t look like Rey’s confrontation with Snoke went all in her favor if the bruises and the cuts of her being tortured are any indication.
But I’d love it if the ST ended with Finn being a Senator and one of the most powerful politicians in the entire galaxy. Trusted and wise. And he is married to Rey Skywalker, a Jedi. And they are an iconic couple that combine their individual strengths to bring peace to the galaxy. It would be the perfect full circle end, Anakin Skywalker’s heir gets to be a Jedi but is openly and happily married to a senator, and the senate and the Jedi have an equal, trusted relationship. And the idea that a former Stormtrooper ends up being this brilliant politician who brings a true democracy foward in the galaxy after everything that happened… And somewhere Anakin’s Force ghost says goodbye and joins Padmé in the Netherworld, because his job is done.
Thiiiiiis. I’ve always said Finn and Rey parallel Padme and Anakin, and that Finnrey will be Anidala redeemed.
