I wonder why BioWare was pressured to cut out so much of Juhani’s content in KOTOR. I don’t think that was a BioWare decision - Jade Empire and Mass Effect both had lesbians. I’m not really willing to give George Lucas rainbow a lot of rainbow points.
If Finn and Poe’s chemistry had been allowed to blossom naturally, I think the sequels would have been much better. The attempted “theme” of “it doesn’t matter where you come from, you can shape your own destiny” just would be so much better if the story had been about Finn’s growth and reconciliation with his past work for the First Order. Then you don’t have Rose (and the subsequent ridiculous internet harassment that poor actress received) and the aborted character/subplot.
You can even do Palpatine returning, just have it be more like the Thrawn clone shit. Less Jedi stuff, more people stuff. You’re even copying the structure of the original trilogy that way - Rey is off doing her Jedi training stuff, while Poe and Finn are on related adventures that lead them to growing closer and closer.
Like I’m 99% sure the actors for both characters have even said that they agreed with the fact that those characters were needing each other.
I'm not denying that Finn and Poe had an interesting chemistry, I just think that Poe should have stayed dead.
The lingering question of what could have been would have been a way to deepen Finn's character.
And if you want to keep the actor, well. When Poe comes in to land after rescuing Finn and the group, his first words to Poe are "why are you wearing my brother's coat?"
And now you have another interesting character dynamic to explore.
The author of the novelization confirmed it was originally supposed to be Rey and Finn, but I think everyone can agree that FinnxPoe and ReyxKickingKyloInTheBalls is what should have happened.
Personally I think ReyxFinnxPoe was a pretty natural evolution but Disney would never have had the balls for it.
