Chat corner 43: The Force Awakens

[annathecrow]

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

This week’s prompt, if you want one, is “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, the first movie in the Sequel trilogy. Old characters return, new characters appear, new story begins.

Because I know this is a sore topic for many, I’d like to remind you to use The Dark Side post as necessary, and keep this space positive-to-neutral. If you slide into a rant, just post it there and link it here (“I have thoughts but they’re mean: <link>”).

And of course, it’s an optional topic - if you don’t feel like it, you don’t have to talk about it ;) I’m sure we can find something else :D

Same. I loved Finn's story -- he was such a good character! -- and loved him and Poe together. (You're so right, Disney will NEVER go there -- I wonder in a slightly tinfoil hat kind of way if they punished Oscar Isaac for saying he played Poe as being attracted to Finn in TFA, considering the character assassination that happened to him in the subsequent films.)

Finn also had such great scenes with Rey. I always forget that the three of them never appear together in this movie, which was a mistake IMO. I was excited to see where things would lead, too, with everything that had been set up in TFA. Too bad the next movie happened. ;)

Poe/Finn - it isn't my ship (or if it is, then only as Poe/Finn/Rey), but I would have loved it for all the people who wanted it after TFA. Alas.

The sad thing is that we're at a point where I genuinely thought it might happen. I keep forgetting that no matter how much more supportive and open the discussions around the movies get, the actual movies remain conservative.

It's so depressing, isn't it? D cares too much about markets that are blatantly homophobic to ever let it happen, but even if they were just concerned with the US, I'd never expect it to actually happen.

Poe/Finn/Rey all had such great chemistry together. I wish they had more screen time together in this movie!
