Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
I would love it
Does it need Bob Iger approval?

As long as it is well written and not cliche then this is a great thing.
For those of you trying to ship Finn and Poe, if the Director notices and it's well written and built on well in the plot that's fine, but if we get another Legend of Korra situation where things felt shoehorned in last moment because of fan request, I won't be pleased.

Not confirmed incest.
Look at all the people who are positively convinced that Rey is a Kenobi. As bat shit as they are.

All true Jedi know how to handle a lightsaber. To feel the Force bind and penetrate them.
The mental image is too good not to be true.

This is a weird topic, because sexuality barely comes up in this series at all. The closest we would get is someone like Poe Dameron, who is just implied.

Cousins are ok.... right?
Cept this time they are going to follow through with it m8. Star Wars goes hard man.
Here's the video of Issac talking about the "subtle romance" Poe has.

One day people will have to accept that Korra & Asami had better chemistry in the series than Korra + Mako ever did.

Other than Luke kissing Leia, Han courting Leia, Han kissing Leia, Lando trying to charm Leia...
Yep, no sign of sexuality at all. No indication of which characters might be straight, so why gay it all up?
I called it being Poe, with that lip bite. Told ya'll.

How cute, using future tense :v

If one day there is a director's cut actually showing this and their relationship growth, then I will accept it.
When we're dealing with beings from across the universe, you'd think that someone being black or gay or literally anything relating to human would be as vanilla as can be tbh. Like aliens out here fucking cross dimensional beings and shit and we're too afraid to touch the booty.

I feel like Count Dooku was probably gay.
Yea like the only person I can see it being is Poe and like you said that's just implied because we only know him as a pilot.
The whole Finn x Poe thing is nothing but internet and fan shipping

Fan shipping that Oscar Isaac himself approves of.
Anyway, no sexuality in Star Wars?
1. Han Solo and Princess Leia
2. Anakin and Padme
3. Beru and Owen
4. Bail Organa and his wife
5. Jabba and Boba Fett love the ladies
6. Luke and Leia (yeah it was gross)
7.
Han and Chewie
First trilogy had a love triangle turned incestuous; second had a heavy focus on the courtship between Anakain and Padme, and of course their eventual child.
The characters having romantic desires are a pretty big part of the stroy.
We have flatout heterosexual relationships, one resulting in kids.

Just a lot of awkward headbutting, and garbled, staticky breathing.

I feel like there might be a moan too, STAR PORN coming up.

At the end of the day it's still fan shipping. I just don't want this to feel shoehorned and right now there is no basis for Finn having any sort of attraction to Poe. He's shown greater interest in Rey.
Now if it's written well. I'm all for it. That's to say we're even getting an openly gay character in these next two films. JJ doesn't confirm it really.

Also, it's not always shipping. Me personally, I just think Poe is bi/gay. Finn I think is straight.
I've seen that. I've said the only one so far I see being gay is Poe. But I'm still not seeing this Finn x Poe thing based on a slight lip bite, a hug and an arm pat. Finn so far has shown much greater interest in Rey.
As I said earlier Rey could be gay for all we know.
It can be one way interest. Not that uncommon you know. Or he moves on between the movies/ discovers someone else in the next movie etc

Yup.
He never shows anything but platonic affection toward Rey.
Poe gets the smolder.
Could go either way. But I think it's ambiguous enough that it wouldn't be a leap.
What did he mean by this?

All this talk about diversity on screen is great, but what about behind the camera?
Every director lined up for Star Wars right now is a white male.

I'm mocking a very common argument that I find really dumb.
And I get that, but I'm saying right now there is no basis for it other than fans wanting it or the internet doing that thing where they ship everything under the sun.
But if it's written well and it naturally evolves over the course of the movies? Hell yea I'm all for it. I just don't want something like this shoehorned.

basically all of the romance in the OT was centered around Han, because he was a ladies man. Han flirting with the princess, Lando moving in on Han's girl, luke and han competing for her affection, etc
There wasn't any romance in ep 7 because there aren't any characters that are actively pursuing each other, so nobody's sexuality was brought up.

The internet has known what's up for ages.
Arg beaten.
A very relatable story. Hope it spawns a new trilogy.
Every Star Wars movie other than Ep. 7 has an element of hetero romance.
Im saying isn't that much of a compelling argument.
So "in this series" collapses down to Episode 7?
