Poe Dameron is Force Sensitive

Mostly because the exact powers of the force and how it works usually depends on which episode it is and what the story needs it to do

 

We don't know that he didn't sense it. What we know is that Luke was speaking to Shara Bey after completing their mission to retrieve the force sensitive trees, and he talked to her about her leaving the rebellion to be with her young son. In the next line, Luke gifts her one of the force sensitive trees. Unless Luke was really scatterbrained, there has to be a connection between the conversation about her son and Luke giving the tree to her.

Secondly, we don't know when Luke started re-building his order but he definitely didn't start immediately after ROTJ when he met Shara Bey because he went to Galatenta according to the Bloodline novel to learn more about the jedi after this, and later Lor San Tekka was also helping him gather jedi lore. So his founding the order definitely happened after his interaction with Shara Bey. Hence there was no order for Poe to join since Luke was still learning the ways of the jedi.

Third, there is no evidence that Luke didn't later ask Poe's parents to let him join his order. But since we know for a fact that Shara Bey and Kes Dameron left everything to be with their son, it is unlikely they would let Luke take away their child. Also, Luke doesn't strike me as the type who would force them to part with their child either.

 

That's fair, we didn't know he didn't sense it.

But he didn't bring Poe to the new order, either. If he sensed it, one might think he'd want Poe to join the order. After all, finding Force Sensitive children was a pretty big job for the Jedi order, and Luke's starting off pretty much on his own. If he serendipitously ran across one, one would think he's want to train it.

 

I did mention this already in my previous post....we don't know whether or not he approached the Damerons to ask for their son to join his order once he was ready to start building it. But since Poe's parents gave up so much to be with their son, it is unlikely they would just send him off with Luke to roam the galaxy. And since Luke isn't evil (I think), I doubt he would force them to give up their son.

To draw a parallel, in SW Rebels, Kanan and Ezra came across Pipey and Alora (two force sensitive babies)....but unlike the inquisitors, they rescued them and returned them to their families. Again, they didn't tell the parents that they need to be trained and that they would come back for them etc. Jedi never forced parents to part with children- it had to be voluntary. Why would Luke act any differently?

Maybe he just left the tree with that family because he sensed through the force that when the time was right things would fall into place?

 

I think the entire audience will groan if any other humans/humanoids aside from Rey, Kylo, Snoke, Luke & Leia are Force sensitive. We don't need a trilogy where the entire field of main characters are Force sensitive. It would dilute it all far too much. I'm going to say Finn and Poe are very adept humans. That's it.

 

True. The Ghost crew could hardly take on infant Jedi prospects, though. After the GCW, though, I assume Luke could.

 

Alright Colbert-junior! ... "He's a great Force-sensitive user" or "The greatest Force-sensitive user" LMAO

Besides, he's nowhere near as Force-sensitive as R2!

 

Its a bit too late for that my friend ... the protagonist of the recent Join the Resistance book is also force sensitive, and he is around Rey's age at the time of TFA and hopes to train with Luke someday...so obviously there is another confirmed force sensitive in the galaxy in the same timeline. I'm actually glad force sensitivity isn't the preserve of the Skywalkers and a select few- the force should not be so elitist.

I'd ideally like both Poe and Finn to be force sensitive, and that Rey's discovery indicates it is time for a new jedi order to rise as Snoke fears and all future members come together.....a new order with more than 1 or two members....so we can get more stories of their adventures post sequel trilogy.

I agree with your point regarding the ghost crew's limitations...but even if Luke could seek children to train, its not like he would forcibly separate a child from their parents. We also have to consider that Poe's mother died when he was eight. Why would Luke take away Poe, resulting in Kes Dameron losing a wife and a son (jedi training isn't like regular school where Poe could study and return home everyday or for the holidays- in Bloodline, Leia mentions how Luke and Ben disappear for long periods of time without contacting her)....since Luke knows what it is to lose family, I can't imagine him being so cruel.

 

With just one little note about that selling and reselling of Lucas company.Inability of curent owner to maintain connection and coherence of their own new SW films with previous trilogies,is decreasing the value of franchise massively..Poe is great character and keeps value of saga,Rey certainly,however we already fear they screwed with unnecessary screen capturer Captain Phasma,and imagine if key character Snoke is so badly written (or not written at all) which questions the logic of Original trilogy about balance of the Force.Selling value of entire franchise will dropp after such trilogy.

 

Well this passive aggressive joke thread backfired.

 

I was waiting to point this out. LOL

 

Very wise words McDiarmid.

 

Without acknowledging anything else in this thread, just from a storytelling standpoint, I don't think they'll waste time trying to explain how Poe is Force-sensitive when their focus is clearly on Rey. It would be more likely for Finn to end up being Force-sensitive in order to explain how he was so great with the lightsaber with no prior experience; however, I honestly don't think they'll reveal any of the other new characters to be Force-sensitive in the movies because they want to focus on Rey. Even if they did a Luke/Leia thing, where one is the obvious Jedi but the other is shown to have the Force throughout the course of the films and simply chooses another path, I just don't see why they'd want to spend time on that. Poe and Finn are both strong characters without the Force. Unless there's a need for them to be Force-sensitive in order to drive the story along, I don't see it happening. (I'm not opposed to it, though!)

 

Your Post brings BALANCE!

 

My personal opinion is that Poe is not Force sensitive. I can see where some can argue that he is but I just don't think Poe's arc is going i that direction

 

That's good. Most people don't. This is a tongue-in-cheek thread meant to be a little silly

 

Oh...lmao.....

@ mr Slugman....you are turning out to be quite an interesting creature

No...Poe is not FS. He is just a playa. And a prized horse of the resistance. That apparently has no guilt trips and conscience cuz he likes to shot people in the back and kill infantry from a plane where they cant touch him with their puny rifles. But....he has a winning smile, undeniable charms and everyone cheer at him so....he cant be that bad, ei?
(If he was strong in the force he wouldnt have to be so forcefully best at everything he does, i think)

ETA: i just had an EPIPHANY!! POE IS A MARY SUE!!!!

I thought only the weak minded can be manipulated that way. As in not strong with the Force non toydarians?

 

You rised great question and dillema I must say this.
