    Okay guys this may be crazy but hear me out.

    I'm very confident that Poe Dameron has the Force and could be a Jedi in the movies.

    1. He mysteriously survived the landing on Jakku. He obviously Force jumped out before the crash.
    2. His mom had the Force tree! Come on, that would obviously give him Force sensitivity!
    3. He's the best pilot in the galaxy! Only other "best pilots in the galaxy" were Luke and Anakin!
    It's so obvious!

    Before Coup d'etat in LSL there were midichlorian charts ,and truly Force sensitive individuals were considered at the level of 7000 Mc.All above that were considered for training in Jedi ways.(top weilders like Yoda and Anakin,Palpatine reached 20 000 Mc.Common human had for instance 1000 Mc(there is no life without Mcs).There were however some with let say 3000-6000 Mc ,like Padme Amidala,and arguably Han Solo which ,considering in addition their normal talent,give them top abilities.Poe is such great pilot with so quick reactions that in old times I would say he is ,5000 Mc ,and naturaly born great pilot ,combination which makes him top.
    In this days,who knows.
    Kylo crushed him so he is not full Force weilder,so..probably in todays terms..borderline.

    It's possible. Would be a nice twist, considering despite these options you had listed, Finn still feels like the obvious pick for most casual fans.

    Poe is slightly below criteria considerred to be fully Force sensitive,Finn is slightly above those criteria. Poe is top trained and acheived his full potential,Finn is brain washed and supressed from birth, and we will se what will came of him.
    My opinion.

    The thing that makes Poe a likely candidate is that he's good at something. Like, really good (not that Finn isn't, but they're clearly in different leagues).

    Here's my take on it:

    If Poe is force sensitive, it would kinda make sense. However, I think by explaining how he's such a good pilot, you cheapen one of the most interesting parts about him- his natural skill.

    I actually really like the idea of Poe just being good at flying because he's a heck of a pilot. But in a universe where the Force exists, I suppose we can't ignore the possibility.

    Poe is just sensitive. I seen the tears his eyes when he and Finn hugged and told him the jacket looked good on him.

    There no evidence that proves Poe force sensitive , matter in fact evidence proves he is not, when Kylo Ren was using the force to read his mind he did not stop it, when we see Kylo Ren use the force to read Rey's mind, she ends up reading his mind. Poe is just a character that is a great pilot, because his family had the force tree, does not mean they know how to use the force.

    Only people I can see be force sensitive in the Force awakens is in order of the movie Kylo Ren, Lor San Tekka because Kylo Ren could not read his mind to know where the map was because he is force sensitive and block him from reading his mind this why Kylo Ren killed him, and was able to read Poe's mind to know he has the map and this is why Poe was capture and not killed on the spot like everyone else.

    Next person that is force sensitive in TFA we see Finn, and the force awakened FN-2187’s conscience, and he decided to desert and make his own way in the galaxy, right after Rey's Force Vision, Finn is showed loading a Ship and he turns up when he hear screams saying no no no in the sky hearing those who are dying on the Hosian system, then the next clip they show you those who was screaming before their demise .

    Next is Rey and it clear in the middle of the movie from her force vision and powers , but we see the force is stronger in her when she touches the lightsaber of Luke.

    Next is Maz who had Luke's lightsaber and tells Rey about the force but she runs from it, and Maz who a force sensitive takes the saber and give it to Finn, when Finn see the lightsaber his eyes open up and he did not need a weapon because he had his blaster on but Maz gives it to him any way and said "save your friend". Every one who touches the saber appears to be a connection with them is the Force.

    Next we see Leia and we see the force with her when Han Solo is killed she is sadden.

    Then Finn uses the lightsaber agaisnt Kylo Ren and lost, and Rey picks it up to defend her self , redemption for Kylo Ren evil actions agianst Han Solo and Finn. She defeats him, and the last Luke Skywalker who Rey the strong force user pass over the light saber to its master, and that is a Master of the Jedi and the Last Jedi Luke Skywalker.

    So I don't see Poe using the force, and I see more proof he not force sensitive from Kylo Ren conversation with him, " i did not know I have the best pilot of the resistance with him" Kylo Ren a force user see Poe only as a good pilot of the Resistance and not a force user.

    If Poe was Force Sensitive Luke would of took him along with Ben Solo and the rest of his students to train to be Jedi , and he did not because Poe is not Force Sensitive and instead he became a pilot for the Resistance.

    I think that the whole force tree thing was simply meant to be a cute bookend thing for the story.

    Same reason I like Finn just being incredibly strong willed without needing mystic powers to overcome evil.

    Not saying that he isn't "force sensitive" but the reasons you listed I do not find as evidence for him being so.

    If Poe was force sensitive he would've been able to pull off the force grip Luke did with the proton torpedos.

    Poe is definitely force sensitive and here is why:

    1. In the Shattered Empire comics, his mother Shara Bey mentions she has a son as they are returning from their mission of retrieving the force trees and that is when Luke offers her one of the force trees to look after.... coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not. Also, we don't know if Luke offered to train Poe as a jedi...we only know that Shara Bey and Kes Dameron left the rebellion to be with their son- so its unlikely that they would hand over their child even if Luke had asked.

    2. In Poe's Flight Log, we learn that he used to swing from the branches of the force tree and personally looked after it when he burned it trying to fly an improvised podracer.The force tree is powerful in the force according to Luke in Shattered Empire....some of it definitely affected Poe.

    3. Now for the interrogation scene which people have been using as an example of his not being force sensitive. If you watch SW Rebels, there is a similar interrogation between Kanan and the Inquisitor where the Inquisitor discovers that Kanan is Caleb Dume by reading his mind. Does that mean Kanan is not force sensitive because his mind could be read?

    [​IMG]

    The fact of the matter is that Poe could be unaware that he is force sensitive and he is untrained as well. He was also weak after being tortured prior to Kylo interrogating him, as evidenced by the blood on his face..also, he is going against Kylo who is a trained and powerful force sensitive. Rey could have withstood Kylo's interrogation because she might be a super strong force sensitive or have some other reason in her past that allowed her to best Kylo easily.

    4. Poe's flying ability- he started learning to fly at age six, created a podracer out of a fruit picker as a child, can fly anything, is considered the best pilot in the galaxy and even Leia says his flying reminds her of Luke in the Before the Awakening novel. So there is more to him than just being a good pilot.

    5. Poe shooting skills- he never misses a shot and then there is the much ignored fact that he fired the difficult shot that blew up SKB.

    6. Poe's empathy- Poe senses Leia's sadness (that she is mourning something) in Before the Awakening and he senses Jessika Pava's anxiety in the Poe Dameron comics (can't recall the exact issue- its the prison break arc).

    While I don't think he is in the league of Anakin, Luke and Rey, he is definitely as force sensitive as Leia and many of the other regular jedi.

    Poe has top abilities for a normal human, maybe augmentated by borderline Force sensiblity, still he is no where as Force atunned as for instance Finn.

    Finn has been literally struck by the pull of the Light side there on Jakku ( which is definition of been Force -sensitive), and I am shocked people cant see this obvious fact about Finn for years :confused:.
