I remember that my first thought when I first saw Poe Dameron onscreen was that with the lighting and his classic good looks, Oscar Isaac looked like he came right out of an 80s romance/blockbuster film, and I think his appearance was one of the most effective parts of the film that made you think of the originals, that made you feel like you were traveling back in time to when they came out
you guys wanna hear a sad story called ‘finn rescuing poe was a much bigger deal to poe emotionally than the movie let on’?
#HONESTLY I WAS READING THAT BIT IN POE’S CHAPTER #AND IT PUTS HIS HOPEFUL LITTLE ‘ARE YOU WITH THE REBELLION?’ LINE IN TFA WHEN FINN SAYS HE’S THERE TO RESCUE HIM IN A WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE #A VERY SAD PERSPECTIVE #THE PERSPECTIVE OF POE HOPING AGAINST HOPE THAT THE RESISTANCE DID IN FACT COME FOR HIM #TO CLARIFY: POE UNDERSTANDS THE RISKS HE’S TAKING AND ACCEPTS THEM; LEIA DOESN’T FORCE HIM TO GO ON THESE MISSIONS #HE HAS A CHOICE NOT TO BUT DECIDES TO DO IT #I JUST FEEL A LOT ABOUT THIS #I FEEL A LOT ABOUT POE WANDERING THE JAKKU DESERT; ONCE AGAIN ALONE AND FEELING GUILTY AS FUCK #THAT HE ACCIDENTALLY KILLED THE ONE PERSON WHO HELPED HIM AND WHO ALSO TURNED OUT TO BE A WONDERFUL PERSON #I FEEL A LOT ABOUT POE TELLING LEIA WHAT FINN DID AND LEIA FEELING GUILTY ABOUT POE AND GRATEFUL TO THIS YOUNG MAN SHE HAS NEVER MET #I FEEL MOST OF ALL ABOUT THE LOOK ON POE’S FACE WHEN HE SEES FINN ALIVE AND WHOLE ON D’QAR #AND THEN RUNS ACROSS THE AIRFIELD INTO FINN’S ARMS & LOOKS AT FINN LIKE HE HANGS THE STARS EVERY NIGHT AND MAKES THE SUN RISE IN THE MORNING
I’m going to go lie down and cry now.
