<p dir="auto">Fans left theaters after seeing "The Force Awakens" with a lot of questions. Who was, or is, Rey's family? Will Luke Skywalker return to the Republic? What's up with Kylo Ren?</p>
<p dir="auto">And, perhaps most interestingly: Are Poe and Finn gay?</p>
<p dir="auto">A lot of fans on Tumblr – a haven for shipping, or imagining two characters in a relationship -- seem to think they are, so much that searching either character's name returns plenty of fan art depicting the two together.</p>
<p dir="auto">The evidence is tantalizingly limited. First of all, there's the "Ellen" appearance.</p>
<p dir="auto">When Ellen Degeneres motioned to John Boyega, Oscar Isaac and Daisy Ridley -- who play Finn, Poe and Rey, respectively -- to ask about their characters' romantic entanglements in the new "Star Wars" film, response was mixed.</p>
<p dir="auto">While Ridley brushed off the question and Boyega joked that his character was doing too much "sweating, panting and running" to think much about romance, Isaac had a different take.</p>
<p dir="auto">"I think it's a very subtle romance that's happening. You have to just look very closely -- you have to watch it a few times to see the little hints but, there was. At least, I was playing romance," he said, failing to specify who the object of his affection was.</p>
<p dir="auto">Then, there's the lip-biting scene. Keeping the "Ellen" interview in mind, Poe and Finn's reunion at the Republic base takes on a certain tone when we see Isaac bite his lip ever so slightly after he greets Boyega with a hug.</p>
<p dir="auto">Pretty much every scene the two appeared in together was enough to stoke fans' suspicions. There was that daring rescue sequence, when stormtrooper Finn steals a spaceship for himself and a captive Poe. Then, the moment Poe refuses to accept Finn's stormtrooper name, FN-2187, anointing him with the more human-sounding "Finn." And the fact that Poe let Finn keep his signature jacket at the end. Others have argued that Finn and Poe simply provide the balance each other needs -- whereas Finn's personal experience with the First Order has left him a bit neurotic, not even a risky flying mission can dampen Poe's happy-go-lucky spirits.</p>
