Isaac's performance and the character have received positive reviews, with Poe's characterization being compared to that ofHan Soloin theoriginalStar Warsfilm trilogy.
Creation
[edit]During development ofThe Force Awakens,the character that would become Poe Dameron was referred to as "John Doe"and was envisioned as a black man in his 30s or 40s. At various points he was imagined as aJedior abounty hunter—possibly with aWookieesidekick—before being depicted as "aRepublicmilitary man. "[2]WhenOscar Isaacwas offered the role, Poe was supposed to die early in the film.[3][4]J.J. Abrams,the director ofThe Force Awakens,later rewrote the script so that Poe appears in the entire film.[5]Poe Dameron was named after Abrams's assistant Morgan Dameron.[6]
Casting and portrayal
[edit]The Force Awakensreceived praise for casting women and people of color, including the Guatemalan-born Oscar Isaac.[7][8][9]Peter TraversofRolling Stonewrote that "giving starring roles to a black man, a white woman and a Latino is... quietly history making".[10]A television spot onUnivisionthat featured Poe was targeted at Spanish-speaking viewers, and included an introduction by Isaac in Spanish.[11]A promotional poster featuring Isaac as Poe was distributed prior to the release ofThe Force Awakens.[12]
Some of Poe's comedic lines inThe Force Awakenswere improvised by Isaac.[13]
Characterization
[edit]InThe Force Awakens,Poe is a skilled X-wing fighter pilot for the Resistance.[14][15]The son ofRebel Alliancefighters, he is a commander in the Resistance's Starfighter Corps and "one ofLeia Organa's most-trusted operatives "who is headstrong and" can fly anything ".[16]Isaac described Poe as "the best freaking pilot in the galaxy... He's been sent on a mission by a certain princess, and he ends up coming up across [Finn], and their fates are forever intertwined. "[15]
Natalie Zutter and Chris Lough ofTorwrote, "Poe is that rare creature who knows exactly what he wants to do with his life."[17]Isaac said of the character in 2015, "Poe's the kind of guy you want in the trenches with you. He's straightforward, he's honest, he's incredibly loyal and he's got some swagger to him."[18]Katy Waldman wrote forSlate,"This is Poe Dameron, star pilot, heartthrob, wiseass, ace leather jacket–bestower, Finn'sOTP.When he grins up at [Kylo Ren], all rakish charm and derring-do, we know the movie will be OK. "[19]Comic book writerCharles Soule,creator of the 2015Marvel ComicsseriesStar Wars: Poe Dameron,said of the character, "I think it's his charisma that really defines him, for me. Poe Dameron is one charming fellow. We've seen great pilots before, and great warriors, but his ability to lead and inspire feels pretty fresh to me, as is his somewhat snappy roguishness."[20]Alex Segura, author ofStar Wars Poe Dameron: Free Fall,said of Poe, "I love the complexities of the character—he's charming, a bit of a scoundrel, not afraid to bend the rules—but he's also driven by loyalty and legacy, and friendship. He's a hero, but in a world where there is absolute good and absolute evil, Poe is a bit gray."[21]Addressing Poe's early life as explored inFree Fall,Segura said:
Poe feels a lot of responsibility—to his parents' legacy, mainly—and that doesn't always mix well with his own youthful curiosity and desire for adventure. It's the core of Poe's conflict, as he leaves home and sets out on this big adventure—he has to basically see everything through the prism of what his parents would want him to do, and I feel like that's a really universal idea—that we're often trying to square the things with the idea of what's expected of us, and we eventually learn that we have to create our own set of rules while still honoring what came before.[21]
After filmingThe Last Jedibut before its release, Isaac said in 2017:
Poe is in some ways a surrogate son for Leia. But also I think she sees in him the potential for a truly great leader of the Resistance and beyond... Poe's arc is one of evolving from a heroic soldier to a seasoned leader, to see beyond the single-mindedness of winning the battle to the larger picture of the future of the galaxy. [Leia], with tough love, wants to push Poe to be more than the badass pilot, to temper his heroic impulses with wisdom and clarity.[22]

The Last Jedi
[edit]The Last Jedi(2017) begins shortly after the destruction of Starkiller Base. As the First Order closes in on the Resistance headquarters, Poe leads a counterattack to give the Resistance time to evacuate. Once the transports are away, Leia orders Poe to pull back, but he insists that they seize the opportunity to destroy the First OrderDreadnought.His team of bombers succeed in taking out the ship, but all the crews are killed. Leia demotes Poe to Captain for recklessness and disobeying orders. Using a tracking device, the First Order pursues the Resistance through hyperspace and mounts another attack, which claims the lives of most of the Resistance leadership and renders Leia unconscious. Poe assumes he will be named acting general, but Leia instead promotesVice Admiral Holdo,who dismisses Poe's suggestions due to his earlier reckless actions.
Poe concocts a plan with Finn and the mechanicRose Ticoto disable the tracking device, but keeps the operation a secret from Holdo. When he discovers that Holdo plans to abandon a vulnerable ship, Poe stages a mutiny. Finn and Rose fail to disable the tracker, and an awakened Leia stops Poe's uprising and resumes command. Despite his disobedience, both Leia and Holdo express admiration for Poe's daring. The Resistance forces then arrive on the planetCrait,where Poe leads an unsuccessful offensive against the First Order. While Luke distracts Ren, Poe leads the remaining members of the Resistance in an escape through an uncharted passage.
InThe Last Jedi,Poe was originally going to accompany Finn on his mission toCanto Bight.[24]The film's director,Rian Johnson,realized the dialogue of the two characters was interchangeable, which resulted in what he called a "flat" storyline.[25]He created the character Rose to challenge and contrast with Finn, and made her his companion instead.[26]
The Rise of Skywalker
[edit]The Rise of Skywalker(2019) is set one year after the previous film.[27]Poe, Finn andChewbaccaretrieve information from a First Ordermole,then travel to Passanna with Rey andC-3PO.There, they locate aSithdagger which they hope will help them find the planet Exegol and the resurrectedEmperor Palpatine,who is the mastermind behind the First Order and has built theSith Eternal's fleet of Sith Star Destroyers, the Final Order. After Chewbacca's apparent death, they land onKijimiand meet with Poe's contactZorii Bliss.She reveals that Poe was a spice smuggler who abandoned his friends and crew when he decided to fly for the Resistance. She still harbors resentment towards him and is on the verge of killing him, but decides to help after Rey defeats her in combat. Zorii takes the group to the droid-smith Babu Frik, who hacks into C-3PO's memory and extracts a translation of the dagger's inscriptions, which provides instructions for locating a Sith wayfinder. Meanwhile, Zorii invites Poe to join her as she travels the galaxy. He considers her offer, but Zorii ultimately urges him to finish what the Resistance has started. She helps him board a First Order Star Destroyer to rescue Chewbacca, who is still alive.
While aboard Ren's Destroyer, Poe and Finn are captured and set to be executed along with Chewbacca. They are saved byGeneral Hux,who reveals that he is the mole; he is aiding the Resistance to undermine Ren. After a series of adventures, Rey departs for Exegol using a wayfinder from Ren's TIE fighter, while Poe and the others return to the Resistance base, where they find that Leia has died. Poe has been named acting general, but struggles with the responsibility. He receives guidance fromLando Calrissian,who encourages him to rely on his friends. Poe subsequently makes Finn his co-general and leads a major strike against the Sith Eternal forces on Exegol. Despite initial success, Poe loses hope when the Resistance seems to be massively outnumbered. However, Lando soon arrives with a fleet of fighter craft from across the galaxy. With the help of this fleet, as well as the deaths of Ren and Palpatine, the Resistance is able to secure victory. Back at the Resistance base, Poe reunites with Zorii, Finn and Rey during a triumphant and emotional celebration.

Vaneé then tricks Graballa's young mechanic Dean—revealed to beForce-sensitive—into opening a Sithholocronfor him, before donning Sith armor and using the holocron to give himself artificial Force sensitivity. While attempting to kill Poe and several other characters, Vaneé is knocked into lava by Poe and Dean. Impressed by Dean's abilities, Poe offers to bring him to Rey for Jedi training.[28]

Reception
[edit]The character and Isaac's portrayal have received positive reviews. Michael Phillips of theChicago Tribunewrote, "Oscar Isaac is a primary asset as Poe Dameron... Like Ford's Han Solo in the original three, he's the guy you want on your team, the one who doesn't take any guff".[53]Robbie CollinofThe Telegraphcalled Poe "a dashing, dry-humoured swashbuckler—in short, he's like Han Solo was 40 years ago".[54]Todd McCarthy ofThe Hollywood Reporterdescribed the "hotshot" pilot as "a man very much in the Solo mold",[55]and Manohla Dargis ofThe New York Timeswrote that Poe "suggests a next-generation Han".[56]Richard Roeperof theChicago Sun-Timesnoted that "Isaac has more than a bit of Han Solo swagger",[57]and Ann Hornaday ofThe Washington Postsaid that "Isaac brings just the right amount of cocksure street smarts to his role".[58]Brian Hiatt ofRolling Stonewrote that Poe's "loose, jazzy dialogue was the first, highly welcome clue that these new films would be more human in tone thanGeorge Lucas'prequels."[13]The Telegraphalso listed Poe's scenes as one of their "14 thingsStar Warsfans will love aboutThe Force Awakens",writing that they" spark and fizz with energy "and that" while Han Solo will always hold the number one spot, Oscar Isaac's Poe Dameron is definitely a serious contender for the title of Second Coolest Man in the Galaxy ".[59]Peter Travers ofRolling Stonewrote that "Isaac oozes flyboy charm".[10]Alex Brown ofTorcalled Poe "the greatest addition toStar Warscanon sinceMara Jade",a popular character from theStar Warsexpanded universe.[36]Some critics believed that the revelation inThe Rise of Skywalkerthat Poe spent time as a spice smuggler in his youth did not fit with what audiences already knew about the character from his film, television, novel, and comics appearances.[60][61]
Both Joanna Robinson ofVanity Fairand Scott Mendelson ofForbesnoted the chemistry between Poe and Finn (John Boyega),[62][63]with Brian Truitt ofUSA Todaycalling the relationship a "bromance".[38][64]Their scenes in the film, and Isaac's own comments during an interview withEllen DeGeneres,have sparked fan and journalistic speculation that Poe could begay,or be developed as such in future films.[62][63][64][65][66][67][68]Several media outlets reported the wave offan fictionandfan artcreated by fan "shippers",or those with a desire to see Poe and Finn in a romantic relationship.[62][64][66][67][68]Commenting on Isaac's camaraderie with hisThe Force Awakenscast members, Robinson wrote that "the most important bond Isaac established was with John Boyega. Theirs is a flirtation that launched a thousand pieces of fan fiction."[62]Despite fan support and Isaac's push for a romantic relationship between the characters, such a direction was not pursued inThe Rise of Skywalker.[69][70]Film editorMaryann Brandon,who worked on bothThe Force AwakensandThe Rise of Skywalker,said she did not see a romance develop between the two characters in the footage for the films, noting that she was "not reading as much into it as an audience." Brandon described the characters as the "best of friends. There is a kind of brotherhood there where they understand each other, and they've got each other's back."[71]
