Poe Dameron

During development of The 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 a Jedi or a bounty hunter—possibly with a Wookiee sidekick—before being depicted as "a Republic military man."{{Cite web |last=Sciretta |first=Peter |date=December 28, 2015 |title=How 'Force Awakens' Changed During Development: Jedi Killers, Force Ghosts And The Doom Star |url=https://www.slashfilm.com/541778/force-awakens-changes/ |access-date=2024-06-21 |website=SlashFilm |language=en-US}} When Oscar Isaac was offered the role, Poe was supposed to die early in the film.{{Cite web |last=Anderton |first=Ethan |date=2015-12-21 |title=Which New 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Character Was Originally Supposed To Die? |url=https://www.slashfilm.com/541703/the-force-awakens-death/ |access-date=2024-06-21 |website=SlashFilm |language=en-US}}{{Cite book |last=LaVorgna |first=Bria |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zB24DwAAQBAJ&pg=PT49 |title=Star Wars: Age of Resistance – Heroes |publisher=Marvel Comics |year=2019 |isbn=978-1-302-51710-6 |location=New York |pages=49 |access-date=2021-01-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230927195056/https://books.google.com/books?id=zB24DwAAQBAJ&pg=PT49#v=onepage&q&f=false |archive-date=2023-09-27 |url-status=live}} J.J.

{{blockquote|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.}}

After filming The Last Jedi but before its release, Isaac said in 2017:

{{blockquote|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.

{{Main article|Star Wars sequel trilogy}}

Poe is introduced in The Force Awakens (2015), the first film of the sequel trilogy. He is an X-wing fighter pilot and a member of the Resistance. He is sent by General Leia Organa to the planet Jakku to retrieve part of a map that shows the location of her brother, Luke Skywalker. When the First Order arrives on Jakku, Poe hides the map in the droid BB-8 and sends him into the desert. Poe is captured and tortured by Kylo Ren, who is searching for the map. A renegade stormtrooper liberates Poe, and they flee the First Order in a TIE fighter. During their flight, Poe gives the stormtrooper the name Finn. Their ship is hit with missiles, and crashes on Jakku. Finn is ejected from the ship and presumes that Poe is dead when the destroyed craft sinks into the sand. Poe later reappears leading an X-wing squadron in an assault on the First Order. Near the end of the film, he leads an attack on Starkiller Base, personally firing the shots that cause the superweapon to explode. The novelization of The Force Awakens explains that Poe was thrown from the TIE fighter over Jakku and survived. After encountering the Blarina scavenger Naka, he helped him escape from a group of pirates. Naka then helped Poe get to Blowback Town.{{cite book |last=Foster |first=Alan Dean |author-link=Alan Dean Foster |title=The Force Awakens |date=2015 |publisher=Random House Worlds |isbn=9781101965504 |chapter=Chapter X |type=e-book}}File:Star Wars Launch Bay Poe Dameron's Helmet.jpg at Disney's Hollywood Studios (2015).]]

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 Order Dreadnought. 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 promotes Vice Admiral Holdo, who dismisses Poe's suggestions due to his earlier reckless actions.

Poe concocts a plan with Finn and the mechanic Rose Tico to 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 planet Crait, 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.

In The Last Jedi, Poe was originally going to accompany Finn on his mission to Canto Bight.{{cite news |last=Barajas |first=Henry |date=3 February 2018 |title=Rian Johnson reveals why Poe didn't go to Canto with Finn in The Last |url=https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/rian-johnson-reveals-why-poe-didnt-go-to-canto-with-finn-in-the-last-jedi |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190705152802/https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/rian-johnson-reveals-why-poe-didnt-go-to-canto-with-finn-in-the-last-jedi |archive-date=July 5, 2019 |access-date=5 July 2019 |work=Syfy Wire}} The film's director, Rian Johnson, realized the dialogue of the two characters was interchangeable, which resulted in what he called a "flat" storyline.{{cite news |last=McCreesh |first=Louise |date=5 February 2018 |title=Finn and Poe were separated in Star Wars: The Last Jedi because they get along too well |url=https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a849214/star-wars-the-last-jedi-finn-poe-separated-rian-johnson/ |access-date=5 July 2019 |work=Digital Spy |publisher=Hearst UK |agency=National Magazine Company Ltd}} He created the character Rose to challenge and contrast with Finn, and made her his companion instead.{{cite book |last=Szostak |first=Phil |title=The Art of Star Wars: The Last Jedi |date=December 15, 2017 |publisher=Abrams Books |isbn=9781419727054 |location=New York |page=111}}

There, they locate a Sith dagger which they hope will help them find the planet Exegol and the resurrected Emperor Palpatine, who is the mastermind behind the First Order and has built the Sith Eternal's fleet of Sith Star Destroyers, the Final Order. After Chewbacca's apparent death, they land on Kijimi and meet with Poe's contact Zorii 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 by General 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 from Lando 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.

The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special is an animated television special released in 2020. In the special, Poe celebrates Life Day with Finn, Max Rebo and Chewbacca's family, unaware that Rey is traveling through time. In the 2021 special Terrifying Tales, Poe and BB-8 make an emergency landing on Mustafar to repair their ship. They encounter the crime lord Graballa the Hutt, who is turning the former castle of Darth Vader into a hotel. While on a tour of the building, Poe listens to the castle's caretaker, Vaneé—a former servant of Vader—tell three wildly inaccurate stories about the various artifacts in the castle. Vaneé then tricks Graballa's young mechanic Dean—revealed to be Force-sensitive—into opening a Sith holocron for 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.{{cite web|url=https://gizmodo.com/lego-star-wars-terrifying-tales-best-short-is-more-sad-1847784740|title=Lego Star Wars Terrifying Tales{{'}} Best Short Is More Sad Than Spooky|last=Whitbrook|first=James|work=Gizmodo|date=October 1, 2021|access-date=October 1, 2021|archive-date=October 1, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211001215720/https://gizmodo.com/lego-star-wars-terrifying-tales-best-short-is-more-sad-1847784740|url-status=live}}

Commenting on Isaac's camaraderie with his The Force Awakens cast 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." Despite fan support and Isaac's push for a romantic relationship between the characters, such a direction was not pursued in The Rise of Skywalker.{{cite web |last1=Marston |first1=George |title=Oscar Isaac Ships Poe & Finn But Says 'People Are Too Afraid' |url=https://www.newsarama.com/48132-oscar-isaac-ships-poe-finn-but-says-people-are-too-afraid.html |website=Newsarama |access-date=December 26, 2019 |date=December 4, 2019 |archive-date=December 21, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191221103655/https://www.newsarama.com/48132-oscar-isaac-ships-poe-finn-but-says-people-are-too-afraid.html |url-status=live }}{{cite web |last=Davis |first=Brandon |title=Star Wars: Oscar Isaac Blames Disney Overlords for No Finn and Poe Romance in The Rise of Skywalker |url=https://comicbook.com/starwars/2019/12/24/star-wars-finn-poe-gay-relationship-disney-oscaar-isaac/ |website=Comicbook.com |access-date=December 25, 2019 |date=December 24, 2019 |archive-date=December 24, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191224224138/https://comicbook.com/starwars/2019/12/24/star-wars-finn-poe-gay-relationship-disney-oscaar-isaac/ |url-status=live }} Film editor Maryann Brandon, who worked on both The Force Awakens and The 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."{{cite web |last=Schmidt |first=JK |title=Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Editor Explains Why There Were No Finn and Poe Romance Scenes |url=https://comicbook.com/starwars/2020/01/03/star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker-editor-no-finn-poe-romance/ |website=Comicbook.com |access-date=January 3, 2020 |date=January 3, 2020 |archive-date=January 3, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200103045523/https://comicbook.com/starwars/2020/01/03/star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker-editor-no-finn-poe-romance/ |url-status=live }}
