Imagine if Finn and Rey’s romance isn’t some dramatic development but a quiet, matter-of-fact one. They’re talking early in Episode IX, which probably has a time skip, and before she leaves Rey leans over to give Finn a kiss on the lips because they’ve been dating for a while and it’s nbd. The audience goes apeshit while the everyone on screen is completely nonchalant and, oops, there’s a crisis to get to. What a power move.

honestly i think this makes the most sense. if there’s a time skip i can’t really think of why finn and rey wouldn’t have got together already. like they’ve obviously been moving towards it from their first meeting. the only thing I could see is that maybe they’re holding back until the first order is defeated but even that seems kinda weird. but l could totally see them talking about their future plans, exploring the universe together or settling down on a nice green planet after it’s all over, and then rushing off to save the galaxy

I also think theres a lot more potential drama if they’re already in a relationship. there’d be the duty vs love dilemma and the struggle to maintain a relationship during a war. also every disagreement they might have becomes more complicated.

The war being still ongoing and the Resistance being in terrible shape may explain it, actually. That would be the “Book 3 Kataang” situation from Avatar: The Last Airbender where one or more of the couple (Katara in that case) is afraid of getting too close and then losing another person they love. Both Finn and Rey have significant traumas that could complicate intimacy for them, and in the middle of a war anything could happen to them at any time. That’s cause for a lot of fear.

As though that’s not enough Rey will have to work through her manipulation by Kylo Ren and what he did to her sense of self. The urge to blame herself and be ashamed is likely to be strong, and her ability to trust her own judgment and instincts will be at a low ebb. On Finn’s side there’s the question of Rose, who is herself working through grief and is going to need a lot of support. She’s also proved… hard to say no to, to put it mildly.

To bring up another Avatar-verse situation, I’m reminded of Mako and Asami in later Book 1 of Legend of Korra. Mako and Korra had feelings for each other but Korra told him to stay with his then-girlfriend Asami, who was going through a tough time, to support her. I can see Rey telling Finn the same. (Of course the endgame couple in LoK was not Masami or Makorra but Korrasami, so if this tides for endgame Roserey I would be very happy indeed–assuming, of course, that Rose makes serious changes to the way she copes with grief and treats people she’s close to.)

All this is good fodder for drama, it’s just that I’m tired of it. The thought of dealing with all these psychological and relationship complications while wrapping up a fight against the resurgent First Order, bringing back the Resistance, and answering questions about the Force is too much. This kind of complex emotional material involving a group cast is more suited to the pace of a TV show than a blockbuster movie, and honestly I’d rather they leave the relationship stuff to a between-movie novel or comic (to be released after the movie) and focus on the action in theaters. Give me fluffy Finnrey and a happy badass Rose and let them kick fascist ass 2k19.

Kill Ben

FinnReyRose 

A woman in a wedding dress, Rey, lies wounded in a chapel in El Paso, Texas, having been attacked by the Deadly Knights of Ren Assassin Squad. She tells their leader, Kylo Ren, that she is pregnant with her fiance’s baby. He shoots her in the head. 

No one leaves the Knights of Ren alive.

Finn had been running late to his own wedding. A mistake that saves his life when Kylo Ren and his band of killers fill the church with bullets and leave after murdering the Bride. The unsuspecting Groom bursts into the chapel to find everyone in attendance dead…except for his heavily pregnant wife to-be, Rey. Reeling from the death of their unborn baby and facing the knowledge that his wife will possibly never wake up from her coma, Finn joins forces with Rey’s old flame and former partner in crime, Rose Tico, to kill Ben Solo.

My Star Wars Kill Ben AU headcanons:

  • Rey was a foster kid until her cousin Ben found her and took her in. He raised her to become a member of his Knights of Ren. The Knights are a group of assassins who get the job done quick and clean.
  • Rey adopts the title Lady Ren and grows into her skills. She begins to have second thoughts about living the rest of her life killing people for money.
  • Rose Tico ( The Bloody Rose ) was one of Ren’s top assassins and Rey’s girlfriend. Unfortunately, their relationship ended when Rose refused a mission to kill an entire family and went into hiding. Rose’s disappearance is what triggers Rey to fake her death and leave the group forever. 
  • Finn Storm is the humble owner of a popular flower shop in Texas. He is a former member of the infamous First Order Mafia. The group is run by it’s only female leader, Phasma.
  • Like Rey, Finn had been raised by his adopted mother Phasma and molded into a killer…only to defect after his best friend Slip got killed, but not before freeing Detective Poe Dameron who’d been looking to expose the First Order. 
  • Finn is done with that life and ran far away until he finally settled down in Texas and opened a little flower shop. 
  • He and Rey cross paths when he helps her fight off a group of men accosting her. Rey has been keeping a low profile and avoiding people, but loneliness and fascination draws her to the handsome man who helped her.
  • Finn ends up asking the pretty woman out for breakfast. Rey accepts.
  • It takes a while, but the two grow to trust each other and friendship turns into love. Rey has never felt like this towards anyone except Rose…and Finn has never been in love before. They become a couple and move in together.
  • Months later, Rey finds out that she’s pregnant and Finn is so ecstatic that he asks her to marry him. Rey accepts. 
  • It doesn’t take long for someone to tip of Rey’s location to Kylo Ren. He is furious and gathers up his Knights to pay his cousin a visit.
  • It’s the day of the wedding. Rey is waiting at the church and Finn is forced to buy a new tux after the dry cleaners misplace his first one. He is running late. The Knights kill everyone in the chapel and Kylo Ren shoots Rey in the head.
  • Finn arrives to a massacre and his wife to-be lying in a pool of her own blood.
  • It takes several officers to pry a sobbing Finn from her body.
  • Rose hears about the Wedding Massacre on the television. The newswoman says that the police are still searching for the suspects, but deep down Rose knows that there’s only one group who could pull off such a feat…and that Rey was most likely their target.
  • Finn is inconsolable. Doctors tell him that his unborn daughter is dead and that Rey is in a coma…that she’ll most likely never wake up. He sleeps by her bedside every day, holding her hand and tearfully apologizing for being too late to save her. 
  • On the second month, he wakes up to the face of an unfamiliar woman of Asian descent staring down at him. “Your name’s Finn, right?” She holds out a hand to shake. “My name is Rose Tico. Rey is my ex-girlfriend…we’ve got a lot to talk about.” 
  • Finn had always known that Rey used to work for a group of unsavory people…but an assassin? He’s shocked speechless as Rose fills him in on his wife’s past life. 
  • Finn gets over to shock to demand that Rose help him kill the son of a bitch who did this. “I was raised by the First Order mob to kill and I left that life behind,” he says. “…But I’m willing to put my skills to use if that means getting back at the son of a bitch who destroyed my family.” 
  • Shit goes down and bodies drop. Finn and Rose cut a bloody swathe through the Knights of Ren, killing one after the other. Finn is unaware that his daughter, Luka, is alive and being raised by Kylo Ren.
  • During the course of their journey, Finn and Rose become close. Rose still loves Rey, but she loves Finn. She is conflicted about loving two people and keeps her feelings to herself.

My 8 year old kid today said they had an idea for a story where, and I quote:

“Finn is boyfriend and girlfriend with Rey and is boyfriends with Poe but both Rey and Poe know and aren’t jealous or anything and they fly around on the Millennium Falcon and beat up bad guys”

I will definitely keep you all up to date with any developments

Full disclosure btw: I am a fan of the Finn Sandwich but I had not told Kiddo about that. All I mentioned is that I would be happy if Finn dated either of those two and Kiddo ON THEIR OWN was all

I believe this is the post-episode ix storyline. Also? The kids are all right.

Might I propose Rose also getting in on this Finn centric love fest? That way the whole squad can be running around the galaxy, loving Finn, and being awesome together.

Yes! And also Rose and Rey will be girlfriends! They’ll be a big space family together!
