1) "Darth" is clearly established in the original text (i.e. the script of STAR WARS (1977)) as a first name, not a title 2) no one can force you to accept the prequels 3) reylos can't hurt you, you can just leave them alone

4) a Poe-Finn-Rose vee (Rose and Poe respect each other but there's no attraction there, but they're both gaga for Finn, they can share) makes way more sense/has more chemistry than Finn-Rey 5) Finn and Poe are Force-sensitive

11) Finn's intuitive Force ability is evidenced by his breaking out of stormtrooper brainwashing on his own, as Poe's is by his preternatural piloting skill 11a) but regardless of "natural"/"intuitive" ability, anyone can learn to use the Force, fuck eugenics and aristocracy

12) it might have been cool if Lucasfilm had ever properly followed up on the original idea of three trilogies, instead of just doing the original trilogy, and then a sequel duology thirty years later, but sometimes it's nice to have big gaps left, to fill with imagination.
