Disappointing.
Star Wars Ep. VII has a name...

I disagree w/ Bitter Script Reader on some things, but this is spot on -

Welp, it pissed off the right people 
As I understood it, Plinkett was complaining about the lack of romance, and how it left the movie feeling somewhat sterile (specially in comparison with the original movies). Having a romance happen (or be more than shipbaited) would've been a genuine risk on Disney's part, and not just strategic corporate paint-by-numbers representation, regardless of whether it was Puffin or Porygon.
Hah, I sat my SO down on Sunday night to watch Blazing Saddles for her first time (how someone goes over two decades in the U.S. without watching it is beyond me).OMG look at how outraged Ruthlessnoodle is!
....Did I miss something in ANH? There's no romance there, at most a bit of joking and flirting.
Pretty much? This seems like a decently complete write-up on the subject: http://movies.stackexchange.com/a/45146
Which says exactly what I said. We're comparing only the first film here - who knows who'll get involved with who in movies IIX (or VIII) and IX? TFA has about as much "romance" as ANH: a bit of flirting and hints, but nothing actually. Which is why I don't really see where he's coming from saying it's sterile compared to the original...
Which is why I said 'Pretty much?'
Well, yeah. We agree. he doesn't. Which is strange, to me. Someone claiming this movie lacks compared to the original for something the original didn't do either is silly.
Wife insisted we watch new Plinkett review. And yeah, as someone who enjoys the prequel reviews, it was bad. 2/3 of it being angry at Star Wars fans, so I'm guessing people who've lashed out at the prequel reviews, and then 1/3 struggling to find things to complain about with Force Awakens. And then giving an idea for Episode VII that would've turned out to be a movie more akin to the prequel films.
And by the end of it, my wife wasn't happy either. Really it made me wish we'd just watched The Force Awakens instead of the ... I can't even call it a review, because their real review was on Half in the Bag. This was more a rant, and less at a movie and more at people who watch movies. Didn't even watch the last few minutes.

No, see, they where the main leads, so of course there has to be a romance between them... no film can ever deviate from that... that's why Han Solo was the main character in the OT, right.
You know it.
And Luke being attracted to Leia + eventually kissing a bit for good luck.
But yeah count me in for the people that want to see Finn + Poe even though there is less than a 0% of that happening.
I wouldn't call it LESS than zero. It's really unlikely but the actors have said they're into it, which I hope pushes it into maybe 0.4%
Well, second and third anyway.What? Anakin and Padme were front stage center of the first three movies!
I think I read somewhere that Oscar Isaac and John Boyega chose to play Poe and Finn as a potential couple, rather than just buddies.
*quick google later*
Well, Oscar Isaac was anyway, and Boyega is open to the possibility:
It wasn't openly flirty, but you could clearly see the difference between the two in terms of how quickly they became comfortable with each other. I suspect it didn't raise a lot of flags in the socially conservative community because it just seemed to throw Finn's authoritarian upbringing into harsh light against Poe's easygoing rebel friendship, and made one more contrast between good and evil.
I suspect that when JJ Abrams introduces an openly gay relationship into the films there's going to be more outcry against it, but I expect it's not going to be part of the plot and it probably won't involve the main characters.

Mr. Sulu... your family... is in DANGER!!!! We must... rescue them!
Also, Finn has Poe's jacket! *OMG SQUEE!*Oscar Isaac was going full smoulder in every scene with Finn.
*ahem*
I really hope they go with Finn/Poe.
1. It would be awesome if in this trio of friends, it's the woman who goes off on the personal quest of Important Jedi Stuff while the men have the romance.
2. Look at them! Finn/Poe is adorable!
3. All those jerks whining about the main characters being female and black? This would make their heads explode.
I'm totally okay with Finn/Poe, but ONLY if they don't half ass it. I want to see a fucking kiss by the third movie, minimum.
Woah woah, let's not go crazy, this is a PG-13 movie series.
Oh... oh wait, I left out a few words when I originally read that
It is not pink enough.
