10 Times Star Wars Refused To Give Fans What They Wanted

Hot on the heels of the pair first being introduced into the Skywalker Saga and making quite the impression on the fandom in the process, the concept of Finn and Poe Dameron being involved in far more than a big-screen bromance quickly became something a boatload of Star Wars supporters were very much angling to experience in the Sequel Trilogy.

In the end, though, outside of the odd flicker of chemistry and occasional suggestive exchange, the films opted to completely downplay a potential FinnPoe romance playing out from The Force Awakens onwards.

It wasn't through lack of trying on John Boyega and Oscar Isaac's end, however, with the two stars both going on record to reveal how they actively tried to make "Stormpilot" a thing whilst bringing their characters to life in the series. Isaac in particular would reveal his frustration at not being able to deliver this "current-thinking" love story later down the road, noting how "I would try to push it a bit in that direction, but the Disney overlords were not ready to do that."

And so, FinnPoe was never given the chance to break new ground within the Star Wars sphere.
