Now the next adventures in this blockbuster saga are poised to captivate old and new fans alike-beginning with the highly anticipated Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
More than thirty years ago, Star Wars burst onto the big screen and became a cultural phenomenon. The official novelization of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the blockbuster film directed by J.Foster himself seems to share these frustrations, and who knows what the trilogy would have looked like if that romantic scene wasn't cut from The Force Awakens.#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Given the importance the Star Wars franchise has put on romantic relationships in the past (Anakin's entire descent into the dark side came from his desire to save Padme), fans found it strange how disjointed and unfocused the romance felt in the sequel trilogy. From film to film, there seemed to be little cohesion when it comes to the romantic trajectories for the trilogy's main characters. Generally, the most popular fan ships never materialized in the sequel trilogy. Finn never gets to make his confession, the audience never finds out what exactly he was talking about, and it's never brought up again. An infamous scene in The Rise of Skywalker has Finn attempting to confess some secret to Rey as they're sinking in quicksand, and presumably believe they're about to die. There was obviously the beginnings of a relationship between John Boyega's character and Daisy Ridley's character.

The Rise of Skywalker introduced another character, Jannah, as a potential love interest for Finn (and Boyega himself says that Jannah stole Finn's heart), putting to rest any hope that he would end up with Rey. Finn spent almost the entirety of The Last Jedi away from Rey, and was given a new potential love interest with newcomer Rose. Nothing explicitly romantic happened between the two, but there were a handful of moments that hinted at deeper feelings that Finn held for Rey. After the release of The Force Awakens, many fans speculated about the future relationship between the film's two leads, Finn (John Boyega) and Rey (Daisy Ridley).
