SPECULATION Does Poe fly 2 different X-Wings?

Maybe his scars must not appear until after the first mission.

 

Would make sense based on photos above....but still wondering how BB-8 fits into an x-wing....and why the other x-wings have R5 units:

Still thinking BB-8 is Rey's, but who knows?

** Edit: on second thought, looks like he's flying the same X-wing---just a different angle and lighting. At least they're VERY similar.

 

I believe there is a picture of a model that was shown at Celebration which showed BB-8 in an X-Wing. @Viral Hide and MSW sources have BB-8 initially with Poe.

 

Thanks.

 

I still think he is flying a light grey X-Wing in both of these pics. Some of the differences over his right shoulder (our left) could be just a different angle from the camera. That bar sticking out just over that shoulder in the second pic though leads me to believe it is at a minimum from a different mission if not a different X-Wing. I guess there could be an explanation or even just filming inconsistencies. It stands to reason that if he does in fact crash his X-Wing on Jakku or another location, that he would get another ship at some point. Was he rumored to be in Abu Dabi at all? I guess he could have filmed Jakku scenes solely from Pinewood.

I wouldn't rule out him flying the black x-wing at some point either.

 

Could be flying 2 ships.Might be yahooooing because the new ship is super fast?? Dunno.He IS the best freakin' pilot in the galaxy,right?

 

BB-8 escapes with Finn? and ends up on Jakku as seen with him and Rey?

 

Personally, I think it plays out like this:

- Poe is on Jakku in a grey/blue X-Wing, which possibly gets torched (according to MSW).
- After Finn leaves (abandons?) him at the TIE crash site, Poe eventually returns to the Resistance base in a black X-Wing.
- He then leads the fleet in another grey/blue X-Wing - the same mission seen in both trailers. I think the shot in teaser two comes before the shot in the first teaser, though, perhaps why he looks roughed up in the first teaser.

I have a sneaky feeling the "saving the say in the black X-Wing" might have been a misunderstanding based on the presumption that the black X-Wing is in some way "special". For me, it's just a black X-Wing, and there may be an amusing story attached to how he came to acquire it... but it's just a hunch, I'm sure I'll be proved wrong.

 

decent bro, I also agree that the potential torturing scene may explain any potential beat-up on Poe. Can't wait for that x-wing vibe in TFA!

 

Vanity Fair pic says "Poe and his x-wing". And it isn't black. But I may have changed my mind about kylo being a double agent and flying the black xwing. There seems to be plenty going on in those pics, and I'm not sure that is part of it.

IT ALL LOOKS VERY COOL THOUGH!!!

 

Maybe he is a double agent because the photos of him in the Rebel Pilot suit but I'm not a fan of the idea, if it happens I hope Driver's acting skills fulfill the tone and the twisted side of his character

oh and from the interior of the two possible X-wings for me there are no major difference between them so for me is the same. I think BB8 belongs to Poe at the beginning. I think Poe flights two different X-wings but from the inside of the cockpit, I can't judge.

 

The two helmets look a little different to me. The red Wedge thing, one looks more curved as one looks more of a 45degree angle. And the visors are different sizes. Unless I am seeing things...

 

On the curved surface of the helmet, the same line with the helmet turned at a different angle would look curved instead of straight. I think the difference in the visor is an illusion caused by shadow in the bottom picture on his face that is not there in the top. The camera also appears to be a little closer to him in the top picture.

 

Personally, I think Poe just gets roughed up in the cockpit during the battle, the same way Zev did on Hoth.
Because, despite the visible differences, the fact remains the X-Wing is still clearly flying low over a lake in both shots.

I mean, at the end of the day, you have to remember the practicality is that the actors are getting in and out of these cockpits between takes. For example, the cables to the right of shot in Luke's cockpit change position during the attack on the Death Star, the lighting is notably different from shot to shot, his collar is opened in one shot and closed in another and his chin guard is slightly wonky while it is straight in other shots.
