There’s been a disturbance in the force.

Upon its release, “The Rise Of Skywalker” divided Star Warriors over its overstuffed plot and rampant fan service. Now, director J.J. Abrams is angering the masses after dispelling popular fan theories behind one of the final installment’s most talked-about scenes.

The divisive moment occurs during the nail-biting scene where Finn (John Boyega) and Rey (Daisy Ridley) appear to be sinking to their deaths in the quicksands of Pasaana, reports the Independent.

Certain they’re all about to meet their makers, Finn reveals he has something to tell Rey. However, when they miraculously survive, the embarrassed resistance fighter tells her to forget it — presumably to avoid the space opera equivalent of the cringe-inducing plane-crash confession in “Almost Famous.”

While the popular consensus is that Finn was going to confess his love for Rey, director Abrams, 53, said at a post-screening Q&A that he was actually going to admit he was “force sensitive.”

Boyega seconded the statement on Twitter, posting, “No . . . Finn wasn’t going to say I love you before sinking.”

Suffice it to say, the director’s reveal didn’t sit well with the social-media “Star Wars” sphere, many of whom were hankering for a Finn-Rey romance (and perhaps some plot coherence). “jj abrams: if rey is force-sensitive then we have to know who her parents are! jj abrams: finn is force-sensitive and we will not be exploring that further,” tweeted one disillusioned fan of the cinematic shoehorning.

“You know a movie is ‘good’ when you have to log on Twitter to find out Finn is force sensitive,” snarked another.

However, Abrams admitted that the scene “could mean different things to different people.”

Nonetheless, “The Rise Of Skywalker” has let down a lot of space opera superfans since its release. Only 55 percent of critics rated the flick “Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes and its much-anticipated same-sex kiss scene — a franchise first — was criticized for involving side characters rather than Finn and Poe.

Abrams has announced that the last installment marks the end of his involvement with the franchise.
