Yeah like others have said, he nowhere states that upcoming Star Wars films are going to have gay characters, just that it's possible and that obviously gay characters exist in the universe. Star Wars is pretty sexless as a whole. There are like three non-sibling kisses in seven films. If there is a gay character in the film, it will probably be fairly subtle or downplayed.

Yeah, less "they are coming" and more "they're already here".

 

[Syf]

Anyone paying attention already knows about Poe and Finn. They totally dig each other.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Did he..bite his lip?

We call that sexual tension.

 

[Granadier]

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Good to hear.

 

[Frozenprince]

Oh wow yeah I can't believe I missed how obvious Poe is giving Finn the "imma fuck you" eyes, and I'm gay.

 

[Meowster]

I love this.

Moff Mors is the first officially gay Star Wars character. Debuted in the April 2015 novel Lords of the Sith.

But having one on screen would be great.

I'm still hoping that Poe is gay. But we'll see.

Poe is my favorite new character. He's awesome.

However, thread title is misleading; JJ says he sees them coming, not that they are coming.

#TeamFinn/Poe

This is basically canon now!

 

[Elitist1945]

run for the hills!

 

[Granadier]

Yoda's force ghost will be the first gay character.

 

[NeonBlack]

Just wanted to let Finn know he's appreciated.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

I guess it's going to make the Galaxy a safer place to live. I also expect the intellectual property value to go up.

Sorry, just listened to Bill Burr's latest podcast.

I see the required yoda gifs have been posted. Good work people.

Guys, Rey and Finn is gonna happen. It's unavoidable and ya know it.

 

[davepoobond]

do the "humans" have normal sex organs? or do they have some sort of transparent goo that they exchange via receptacle

Out of the cast revealed so far I see Poe being the likely candidate IF they explore that in the films. Finn I don't think so much simply because there is little basis. He clearly shows an attraction to Rey. Rey could be gay for all we know.

 

[Bronx-Man]

We've already had this in Star Wars though.

To the EU!

 

[EulaCapra]

I'm balls in for Poe.

Although I'm not really sure Abrams made a hard confirmation here. I know he read the script for Episode 8, but it reads like wishful thinking or "the possibilities are endless."

Everyone loves a good love triangle.

 

[VanquishUK]

I can already taste the controversy.

Poe & Finn is happening, damn the meltdowns.

 

[Megalosaro]

Didn't vii already have poe and finn?

 

[Oersted]

^ Luke surely had some... adventures.

I'm balls in for Poe.

Ahem.

Yea he really didn't. As stated he just say they are in the universe and he'd love to see it. As other said it's something in the novels already. Still would be cool to see on the big screen.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Poe is gay.

 

[Frozenprince]

Idk Oscar Isaac is a pretty big Evangelical Christian.

It would be amazing and I'd love the movie 100x more if they did it, but I can see him not being comfortable doing it.

It's gonna be a minor minor bit character if anybody, anyway. A gay lead in a AAAAAAA franchise just ain't happening.

 

[Monocle]

Really need that .gif if Poe punching Finn on the arm while biting his lower lip - when he gives Finn his jacket.

Edit: there it is!

I didn't really read into that moment at first, but the internet is starting to convince me.

I ship it regardless.

Didnt Oscar already say thats how he is playing Poe(xFinn) even though it's not stated anywhere, or was that Boyega saying that?

 

[Modest Mauser]

Finn and Poe, Finn and Poe, Finn and Poe...

 

[Hours Left]

It better be Poe.

Sad to see this franchise become a PC mouthpiece. (( First we have to believe black people and women can be heroes, and now they're going to try to tell us that gay people exist in the Star Wars universe. (((((((((((((

George Lucas isn't dead, so he can't be rolling in his grave, but I know he's rich enough to buy a tilt-a-whirl. He's probably whirling and twirling in grief for his beloved creation as we speak.

I think Lucas is more of a scrambler type of guy.

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

Going to love the reactions of the all the people that are going to be furious over this.

IIRC Oscar said that, yes.

I think Oscar said that on Ellen

I thought C3PO was the first gay SW character.

In pre-release interviews, Oscar Issac said his character has a romantic partner. Or rather, that he was playing his character toward a romantic interest. He couldn't say who at the time though.

Edit: beaten again.

That's incest, m8

We already did the whole brother-sister thing in the original trilogy.

 

[fallengorn]

Lame.

He should've announced it by having the trailer for VIII start with two stormtroopers kissing.
