what i want from the finn/poe, finn/rey and finn/rey/poe side of star wars fandom
less weirdly sugary fluff pieces
more working with the fact that its poe is a mouthy risk taker who will throw himself into danger
that finn is quick and clever and willing to do hard things for the right thing, even when it terrifies him
that rey has eaten a dude. i mean, ok no, but she’s so fucking scrappy and vicious and kind. She’s a lot of things all the time.
I don’t know I just want more variety in the stories told about them
and that, as @sharpestrose said, all three of these people would steal a car with the littlest of provocations. don’t just slot them into ‘innocent fluffy bunnies with sad backstories’
all three of them are scrappy as hell, and its delightful
They pretty much do all steal cars in the course of the film. Finn steals two.
Like they had good cause and all but still.
Finn breaks, as far as he has been taught all his life, a terrorist out of military prison. They steal the fastest car they can find and blow up as much shit as they can on their way out. They total the car immediately. He starts several fights in a local marketplace, meets a girl in those fights and they immediately steal her bosses antique car. They meet a con man while he is stealing what he claims is his antique car from them. They sick killer monsters on his justifiably angry customers and hitch a ride with him. He knows someone who can hook them up with another stolen car. Things don’t quite work out when Finn turns down a job offer and they are only saved from Finns old boss by the old dude’s old lady who seems to be running a chop shop come revolutionary army. Finns first friend is a hoon in his shiny black muscle car. They blow up pretty much everywhere they go after that.
Rebellion, resistance, violent revolution, baby! Bring it on!
I love all of this, but also let me beam with pride and love and say that I am
ALWAYS HERE FOR REY EATING A DUDE.
