This is a gift art to me, showing my favorite SW pairing as one of my favorite Disney pairs! AHHHHHHH, I can’t beleive it! Finn and Rey as Anna and Kristoff!!!!!!!
This was done as a commission by @kittykichi! Thank you so much for this INCREDIBLE ART! I still can’t believe it!
Can we all just stop and talk about Rey’s love for Finn. Like, she would do anything for him. He may have risked her life by exposing her to the FO. But, if he never met her, she (probably) would’ve never discovered the force. Since, she thought it was all a myth. He saved her from a lifetime of isolation. After telling him numerous times to stop taking her hand she offers her hand to him as they run to find a ship. When he was taken by the rathtar, Rey stopped running away and ran to help Finn, she literally risked getting eaten by the other rathtars lurking around to save Finns life. And when Finn left because he was afraid of the FO she was completely heartbroken, she felt the way she did the day she was left one Jakku which is what triggered the cries of her younger self.
When he came back she didn’t know how to feel. She’s been waiting for someone to come back for her, her entire life. Maybe he’s what she’s been waiting for? After Han dies Finn is continuously shooting down at the storm troopers and Rey pulls him out into the forest to safety. They run into Kylo who after knocking Rey out he knocks out Finn. Rey has to fight, she uses the light saber, which she swore she’d never touch again. She uses it for Finn. After defeating the enemy she runs straight to Finn with no hesitation. Tears are running down her face as she mourns the man she loves. The planet is literally falling apart around her, but she doesn’t care. She just want’s to be with Finn. Even if it meant dying with him. When she’s with Luke all she thinks about is Finn. “If you see Finn before I do, tell him…” Before she goes to face the man who hurt Finn she tells Chewie to send him a message, just in case she doesn’t see him or something happens. Not knowing that they were in the same place the whole time.
Once they’re reunited Rey has to blink away her tears because the man who’s been on her mind since the last time she saw him was okay, she holds him tight and smiles because he is her home.
I still love Rey and Finn and Poe, despite it all. I still love what they were at their core in The Force Awakens, what they could have been, and what they were supposed to be.
He looked back the way they had come. “Lost my blaster. I need a weapon.” Displaying surprising strength for one so small, Maz grabbed the wrist holding the lightsaber and raised it up. “You have one!” He stared down at her, then at the saber. Did she really expect him to use the old ceremonial weapon? Blasters he knew, and pulse rifles, but he had never held a lightsaber in his life. Nor did he know anyone who had. Still, if Maz Kanata had that kind of confidence in him…He activated the device, admiring the lethal beam.

Rose is argumentative with Finn for no reason throughout their storyline because I can’t tell a story without ~~conflict~~ by the Coward Rian Johnson.
This is someone absolutely unwilling to like actually think critically about why Finn turns against the First Order and keeps saying that it doesn’t make sense, that Finn should do x instead, that killing should come natural to him. That it’s “bad writing” to have Finn “decide to be good for no reason”.
The very fact that this person CONTINUOUSLY insists that it doesn’t make sense for Finn to be good/decide to be good is like… beyond infuriating to me. I want to be all nice and help nudge people in the direction of good analysis and whatnot, but this purposeful crap is a hard limit for me.
Like this person isn’t even actually seeing Finn as Finn. Never have, never will. They’re not interested in like… trying to approach the character differently. They keep trying to talk about such an important character that they have no interest in actually analyzing responsibly and man… I’m uninterested in that kind of hardheaded nonsense.
Anyone who believes that the village on Jakku was “harboring a terrorist” is beyond reason. The argument that the villagers were threatening the FO because they tried to defend themselves is pure fascist apologia.
To think that JJ Abrams wrote that scene, where a Nazi parallel invades a village of people who belonged to a religion they wanted to eradicate, disarmed the ones who fought back, and slaughtered them, including the children, with any intention of making the FO look like the victims, is absolutely stomach-churning. As is the notion that Finn should have stayed loyal to the FO and not fought back himself.
And we’re supposed to completely divorce attitudes like this from reality? George Lucas wrote allegories – Nixon, Vietnam, Bush. Abrams wrote allegories that were clearly more directly about the Nazis, down to a nearly shot-for-shot reference to Triumph of the Will that was supposed to be horrifying. And yet here we are, fans are more horrified by Finn not following the FO.
