Thought the same thing tbh <| sep |> Neven . The dudest of dudes . <| sep |> Our people <| sep |> Boyega ' s explicitly said that Rey and Finn are friends , have never been played as anything but and that romance won ' t go the way Variety expected . Variety expected Finnrey that was the question that led to John ' s answers . And he has restated his position with Oh , yeah , did you read the script ? when an angry twitter follower ' s attacked him for talking BS to Variety . IMO , Boyega didn ' t have to say anything because that ' s all in the movie . When Rey said thank you , MY FRIEND I don ' t know how more clear they had to be that they are only friends . So that coupled with the fact that Finn is going to be paired with KMT for the entire Episode VIII , that her character was written into the Episode VIII script while TFA was still in production , that KMT had chemsitry screening with Boyega , that Boyega says romance won ' t go as expected , that MSW have been hinting for ages that KMT is Finn ' s girlfriend points in direction of Finn and KMT romance . Also , the mess that GL created with Luke and Leia is not something that Storygroup is trying to recreate . In fact , they are created to prevent such clusters and other instances where canons clash . Whether Rey and Kylo become a couple or not is up for debate but Finnrey is not happening regardless . Finn and KMT are going to be the romance by the look of it . Question is just whether there will be only one romance in the Sequel trilogy Finn and KMT or two Finn and KMT Rey and Kylo . But Finn and KMT are a go .
