Could Poe actually be the biological son of Han, and thus being why Leia and Han broke up.
oh heavens no
Yeah. This ain't The Bold and the Beautiful.
It’s about the same as Finn Calrissian was my point.

Finn isn't a Calrissian. And while I agree both of the ideas are pretty bad, the Han is Poe's father idea is far worse, not just because of what it does/means for Poe but also because of what it does to Leia. Not to mention how it dampens everything with Ben/Kylo, too.

While it's a fun bit of speculation and the timing does technically work out, it does nothing to benefit the story and can only damage it. I don't like the idea at all.

It was just a joke based on the Finn Calrissian story.

It didn't. Poe is actually the only one of the trio with a complete background story so far. Will be interesting to see what episode IX brings.

I never thought of that. Poe does have a backstory and family. There’s even a comic about them I think? Or certainly with them in it?

Be a bit dumb to suddenly give Finn a family. Runs counter to his character. He’s not looking for his family isn’t affected by it the same way Rey seems to be. He’s kind of found his family in the rebellion I’d say.


I don’t think all of that dialogue in the trailer will be in the movie. Specifically Rey’s dialogue. It’s a little late in the game for her suddenly to go cry baby emo. ‘Nobody knows me’ dramatic swoon.

People have also spotted the Ghost in that big fleet scene that the Enterprise is in, so maybe he really is in it?!

It’s definitely the exact model the ghost is, if it is indeed the ghost is another thing.
Be really cruel if it wasn’t.

But I’d say that particular shot is just a huge treat for the fans. And it absolutely does bring the ‘tying all the trilogies together’ idea into form.

Is there a hi def shot so we can look for ourselves?

And why are people "claiming" Zeb is there? It's 2019, post a screen capture with an arrow.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
