Who cares. It's not like Rey & Finn have any kind of chemistry...

It's nice to know. Thanks. But frankly I agree with simplemoviecommenter - Rey and Finn's chemistry doesn't do much for me. I suppose if you find Finn funny, there's that. But all he does is fawn all over Rey. It gets tiresome and annoying. No SW sidekicks ever did that before. Not even Jar Jar!

In fact the more that I think about it, I'd rather see them apart. I like both of them better when they aren't around each other.

Rose left him a bit more dignity sans the electrocution and sabotaging his heroic sacrifice . At least she did not friend zone him and ho on swooning for the pouting emo who nearly killed him a few days before. Droid please, she ain't got a boyfriend cute boyfriend

I admit, Finn is probably one of my least favorite good-guy characters in the new trilogy. On paper, he is the kind of character I normally like, but the lines they've given him have made him a bit too much of a comic relief in LAST JEDI. He was a better character in FORCE AWAKENS.
And, despite her getting slightly chummy & very forgiving of that Krybaby Ren, I still very much like Rey. I think she is as forgiving as Luke once was, as headstrong as any Skywalker, and as desperate for familial reconciliation as any child of her background might be.

Eh. I'm more interested in whether or not they'll finally give Finn something interesting to do that develops his character. My guess is no. Plus, I doubt Finn will be by Rey's side as she fights Kylo Ren. They'll probably just have him fight stormtroopers or something. They took a character with awesome potential and made him no better than any of their Resistance fighters. I have nothing to look forward to with him.

Finn is basically a hybrid of a Stormtrooper turncoat and Jar Jar Binks! Yes... that's Disney's concept of a SW sidekick! And the Disney faithful/new SW converts love it! Go figure. (I guess a black man throwing off Stormtrooper armor to do Binks style comic relief is much more appealing than a frogman doing it with an odd dialect. Again, go figure).

The problem with Finn,hes the ulitmate loser. He gets hurt and humiliated most of the time. They make him seem so cowardly. Luke had his struggles in the OT but he was not a straight up coward or weakling,they didn't hummilate him either. The only thing Finn has done good is kill Plasma thats it. Mace Windu and Lando seem to of gotten better treatment than him. The guy playing Finn looks badass in Pacific Rim"makes me think he could of been a badass Jedi,soldier or bounty hunter.
There is no hope

The Jedi are always off doing their own thing during the big battles.

I just watched The Force Awakens the other day and he was very amusing and that, whereas he was trying way too hard in The Last Jedi. He was trying too hard at times in TFA, but it was almost the entire movie in TLJ. I never understood this decision, especially since it takes place directly following the previous movie. She hates him in TFA and then you suddenly interested in saving his soul in TLJ? I understand what you’re saying about her trying to be forgiving, but it’s not even a week later. Plus, I always hated that about Star Wars. It’s one of my biggest complaints. I hate that they are always trying to turn and/or forgive the bad guys; at least the force sensitive ones.

I think the implication is that the Mindlink meant she was feeling what he was feeling and she couldn't just see him as "that masked bad guy". Plus her frustration with Luke made her start to rethink things, and the link with Kylo made her be exposed to his anger and sense of betrayal with Luke. She was forced to unintentional empathize and try to understand Kylo's POV on things. She hated him for killing Han, but then when exposed to his mind she might have been "infected" with his feelings towards Han and why he'd want to kill him. If this WAS what was happening, the mindlink "infecting" her with Kylo's messed up emotions, they should've shown it better.

The title of this thread is "Boyega Says Ep9 Will NOT Separate Rey & Finn", but I think Rey and Finn in IX will be similar to Luke and Han in ROTJ where they spent the bulk of the film apart.

We have literally not seen a single reason why he hates Han. Plus, frustrated with Luke? Ren has killed many innocents and is a part of a group that has literally killed planets worth of people. That deserves forgiveness versus a little slack with what Luke thought of doing for a fraction of a second? Sorry, but that’s something the franchise has always struggled with. The bad guys with force powers are always having the good guys beg them to stop with their doing in the same luxury would not be afforded to other members of the Empire or First Order. It’s a writing weakness in the series.

Luke and Leia were fine with him after everything HE did, and his big sacrifice had NOTHING to do with genuine repentance...he just acted to save his son.

I'm still disappointed that Finn and Rey didn't spend every second of film together in TFA. How dare they call them co-leads.

I said as much when I noted it was a franchise-wide problem. Leia is never shown to be ok with Vader.
