Star Wars: The Last Jedi writer/director Rian Johnson has revealed that romance will not be a key aspect of his installment into the Skywalker family saga.
The Force Awakens toyed with a flirtatious dynamic between Rey and Finn, but ultimately made the two friends.
It’s worth mentioning Johnson says love is “not a centerpiece” of the narrative, as that suggests it won’t be completely absent.
After all, Rose has the most screen time out of all the new characters and will be side-by-side with Finn, so something could happen there.
