Though we won’t be gifted with the dual power of Daisy Ridley and John Boyega again until Star Wars: Episode VIII drops at the end of 2017, the real-life Rey and Finn are thankfully more than ready to keep the Force properly awakened in the meantime. At Salt Lake Comic Con this weekend, one couple (and their admittedly adorable BB-8) made waves just by being perfect, awesome, inimitable, etc:

Pretty swell stuff. Thankfully, there's more than one photo of this love-filled cosplay victory that recently popped up on Mashable:

As for the Rey and Finn that exist within a fictional universe worth billions of dollars, their next entry is expected to be a bit darker than The Force Awakens. "[We're] just starting work on Star Wars VIII, the next film, so I'm back to keeping secrets again," Boyega toldVogue back in January about Finn’s next leap. "It's great. Much darker, but we're very excited." According to Boyega, he'll be hitting the gym much harder this time around due to the "more physical" nature of the story.

If current industry whisperings are to be believed, the years ahead may also bring a Tomb Raider reboot starring Daisy Ridley as Lara Croft. Croft, of course, is also no stranger to a well-researched cosplay tribute. "I'm waiting for someone to say 'I want you, let's do it,'" Ridley told the Hollywood Reporter earlier this month, adding that "conversations" regarding the role of Lara Croft have indeed taken place.
