Oscar Isaac Wishes Poe and Finn Were Gay in &#;Star Wars&#; but &#;People Are Too Afraid&#;
Any &#;Star Wars&#; fan hoping the upcoming &#;Rise of Skywalker&#; will finally turn Finn (John Boyega) and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) into romantic partners will surely be disappointed. Variety spoke with Boyega, Isaac, and director J.J. Abrams at the &#;Star Wars&#; press junket and all three gentlemen made it clear Finn and Poe will remain platonic best friends in the last entry of the Skywalker saga. And yet, Isaac shares his wish that Lucasfilm pushed forward and made Finn and Poe a gay couple.
“Personally, I gentle of hoped and wished that maybe that would’ve been taken further in the other films, but I don’t have control,” Isaac said. “It seemed love a natural progression, but sadly enough it’s a time when people are too afraid, I think, of…I don’t know what. But if they would’ve been boyfriends, that would have been fun.&#;
Boyega stressed the two characters &#;are just platonic at the moment,” although the act
“The Fall of the Home of Usher” is among the most scrutinized works in Edgar Allan Poe’s bibliography. Ripe with metaphorical descriptions and intentionally mysterious language, the story is an open invitation to varied interpretations. At the high school level, most students are taught that it is a tale about extreme isolation. In academia, scholars tend to be more interested in the bizarre brother-sister bond and its incestuous possibilities.
Until recently, the idea that Poe could be in conversation with queer anxieties might sound absurd. Increasingly, however, critics have identified queer themes throughout his stories and poetry. In some cases, such as “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” it is nearly impossible to contradict that Dupin and his male companion are in a romantic relationship (Novosat). So too does “The Fall of the Dwelling of Usher” benefit from a queer reading. Suddenly the curious language and enigmatic events make perception. Not vaguely or subconsciously, but in its entirety. It is my argument that “Usher” is, from beginning to end, about queer anxieties. Notably,
Like most fans of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, I found the bond between John Boyega's Finn and Oscar Isaac's Poe Dameron to be one of the film's most charming aspects. As soon as they'd uttered their enthusiastically mutual "nice to meet you's!" in the stolen TIE Fighter, I would happily contain signed off to watch a whole trilogy that was just about the former stormtrooper and current Resistance pilot stealing shit and blowing other shit up.
The friendly affection between the two characters has also allowed a large sector of the film's fans, through social media and elsewhere, to demonstrate how and why shipping, or more specifically slash fiction, happens. Absent any canonical voice in a saga that has, with The Force Awakens, made admittedly superb strides in the inclusion category, LGBTQ culture jumped on Finn/Poe as an opportunity to portray themselves.
As is often the case in these scenarios, there is no canonical evidence that Poe Dameron isn't gay. (There is at least circumstantial evidence that Finn is interested in women, though no contradictory e

Poe Dameron is probably only accidentally a gay hero. He wasn't originally meant to survive the first execute of Star Wars: The Force Awakens according to writer/director J.J. Abrams, so he doesn't have a authentic arc of his control . On paper, Poe Dameron is just a device to advance the plot. It's in Oscar Isaac's performance that he becomes something special, and someone Abrams knew he had to preserve around.
Isaac gives Poe Dameron his charisma and smoldering intensity, and because his primary (human) relationship in the movie is with John Boyega's Finn, he gets to direct that charm and intensity towards him. In one of the characters' most pored over scenes a scene that only exists because of Poe Dameron's reprieve from death the pilot gives Finn a gaze that's indistinguishable from lust, even biting his have lip as he tells him to keep the jacket they've come to share. It's one of the gayest things I've seen in a blockbuster movie, in the most positi
