Also, there's this from another source:
- Laura Dern is a leader of the Resistance.
- Leia’s ship is ambushed and she is blasted through space.
- Leia ends up in a coma.
- Laura Dern’s character then takes over Resistance command, but makes things far worse.
- With this in mind, Poe takes control of the situation and becomes the interim leader of the Resistance.
- In regards to the way Dern is portrayed, we are meant to not be sure if she is good or bad.
With all of that drama going on, it’s a good thing Poe looks like a badass in his new duds. I’m curious how big of a role General Leia will play in the next film as well. I kind of doubt she’s out of it for the entire movie. I speculate it is a good opportunity for Leia to come back at the end of the film but with Poe having proven himself as the future of the Resistance. Maybe Leia and Finn can bond over their recent comas?
