Actually, while I'm here - I don't out-and-out hate Rose Tico, I think if they're gonna add her to the team she can be alright. But I can only say, on every level of my being, that creating her to be a love interest to Finn was a fucking TERRIBLE idea.

Look at The Force Awakens, Finn and Rey clearly have a thing going on for each other. Finn has a good arc in that movie, running away from the First Order only to return and fight for what's right. At the end, he picks up a lightsaber and defends Rey with his life, getting critically wounded in the process. Throughout that entire movie they have flirty banter, and they set each other up and support each other - culminating in Finn's critical injury. Rey kisses him on the forehead before she goes off to find Luke Skywalker.

Next movie - John Boyega walks around in a bubble suit for laughs, goes on an adventure with a random engineer, and somehow this rando who he has zero chemistry with is meant to be his big romantic interest. What the fuck.

The only thing I can say is that Rose kissed Finn, and in this last movie there's some wiggle room for Finn to either rekindle his friendship with Rey and/or establish that he's not interested in Rose. Again, I don't hate Rose Tico. But Finn and Rey had such great chemistry in the Force Awakens, and it's downright baffling to me that they had to introduce a whole-ass new character to serve as his official love interest. Who the actual, ever-loving flying fuck came up with that?
