Official Poe Dameron Episode VIII thread

Finally, thanx to the VD we can say:

Spoiler

- the ring in the necklace is that of Shara as some of us suspected
- Poe gets demoted, as some of us suspected

But beside that, there's one thing that surprised me

Spoiler

The VD tells us that Poe and Rey didn't have the chance to be properly introduced one another.
But I think the question is more complicated than it may seem


If you've seen TFA you know they don't share a word even if they are seen in the same room etc...
If you haven't, there's not need to give this info in the VD because no matter how they'll meet in TLJ
it will be obvious.

But that said, if you've seen TFA some scenes of that movie, when they put the map together, that
the crowd with Poe among them greeting at the Falcon leaving the base - will look a bit weird.
It's not a big deal, but they will look weird.

Not to mention the novelization. The most significant result, is in fact to erase the scene of their meeting
in the novelization, that was in the script but was cut off from the movie.

Now the best way to avoid these problems - compromising the novelization therefore the canon and at least
the perception of the previous movie for those who pay attention even to the small details - would have been
to shoot differently whatever meeting scene we're going to see in TLJ.
I mean it would have been easy to shoot TLJ as if they've met and were introcuded one another before, without becoming that close.
It takes 2 words to do that.

So I'm wondering if somehow this is going to be more important in TLJ's plot that we may think.
Because if you choose to compromise the canon and the perception of the TFA (for those who notice every little details)
you have to have a good reason.
I cannot foresee how... perhaps it will be because of whatever Poe is going to tell Finn, but it could be literally everything
and it could important, I think. So much so the meeting scene in TFA that was in the script was cut off from the movie...

Any thought?

I'm glad Poe got a bigger role this time around, and he got to properly meet Rey too!

 

Yep we didn't see it in TFA, I'm glad that icebreaker happened.
