As a long-time Star Wars enthusiast who’s spent countless hours debating the intricacies of the galaxy far, far away with fellow fans, I must admit that the idea of Poe Dameron and Finn sharing more than just a brotherly bond has always held a special place in my heart. The camaraderie between these two characters in the sequel trilogy, portrayed beautifully by Oscar Isaac and John Boyega, is undeniable and has sparked many a shipper’s imagination.
In the Star Wars sequel trilogy, many fans have been yearning for certain storylines to unfold, one of which involves a potential romantic relationship between the characters Poe Dameron (played by Oscar Isaac) and Finn (John Boyega). While there were hints of this romance in the past, it never materialized. However, years later, Boyega has subtly kept the shippers’ dreams alive with a heartwarming gesture.
The Breaking star recently appeared at New York Comic Con, where he chopped it up with the fans, took pictures and signed autographs. While at the annual convention, the 32-year-old British actor also shared some photos to social media. Among them was a snapshot of a bracelet he sported sometime during the festivities. The accessory conveys a brief, but clear, sentiment that you can see in the screenshot from his Instagram story down below:
Initially, it might seem like a typical bracelet given at Taylor Swift concerts, but there’s a unique Star Wars touch to this one. The sight of John Boyega acknowledging Finn and Poe brings a grin to my face. What intrigues me is how the actor came to possess that charm. It could very well be something he made himself. Yet, considering the fan-centric atmosphere of conventions, it’s also plausible that someone gave him the trinket as he navigated through the convention hall.
Star Wars Movies In Order: Watching By Release Date And Chronologically
Ever since Finn and Poe first appeared together in 2015’s “The Force Awakens,” fans have been speculating about their relationship due to a strong bond that developed between them early on. In the movie, they managed to escape from the First Order together during the initial scenes, and later reconnected at the Resistance base. Here, they warmly greeted each other, and Poe graciously let Finn keep his jacket, which he had retrieved after their crash-landing on Jakku. As the story unfolded in 2019’s “The Rise of Skywalker,” their friendship remained strong, but there was no indication of romantic feelings between them.
It appears that Oscar Isaac continuously hinted at the possibility of his character interacting more closely with Finn (the former Stormtrooper). He playfully suggested it was challenging to watch Finn kiss Rose Tico in The Last Jedi. Joining in the fun, Mark Hamill wrote a poem about the potential couple, and John Boyega fueled the speculation by posting pictures of himself and Isaac together. Kathleen Kennedy, President of Lucasfilm, has hinted at this ship in the past without giving a definitive answer one way or another.
Despite the Moon Knight actor stating that “Disney executives” weren’t prepared for a romantic relationship between Poe and Finn in Star Wars, I appreciate the concept of them being close friends with a strong bond, reminiscent of brothers. While it’s fascinating to imagine them as a couple, it’s understandable that their friendship is more appealing at this stage. It’s encouraging to see LGBTQ+ characters emerging in Star Wars, even though there’s still much progress needed when it comes to representation.
It’s uncertain if we’ll ever see John Boyega and Oscar Isaac reprise their roles again, given the franchise is exploring new paths. The odds seem low, but fans can express their enthusiasm for potential future appearances through fan fiction or merchandise like Boyega’s bracelets, among other creative outlets.
