After a harrowing encounter with Kylo Ren at the end of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Finn (John Boyega) spent most of their journeys in Star Wars: The Last Jedi apart from one another. The two friends were thankfully reunited at the film's conclusion, with Rey rescuing the Resistance from a blocked passageway.
Now, Boyega has seemingly confirmed that the two will remain together in J.J. Abrams' Episode IX. The actor was present at Awesome Con in Washington, DC this past weekend, where he told Slash Film that he heard the news, albeit from another source. “I haven’t read the script for Episode IX. But Daisy did shoot me a text saying, “Oh my gosh, I just heard from J.J. [Abrams], and we’re back together. That’s what I’m really excited about, is Finn and Rey back together again.”
Boyega recently revealed that the third installment begins filming this July, and while he hasn't read the script yet, had a feeling that there would be "all out war" between the Resistance and The First Order.
