As comprehensive as the Star Wars timeline has become, there’s only so much that the films and TV shows can actually explore. The galaxy is a massive place, teeming with characters and conflicts in every era, and that means some heroes and villains inevitably fall through the cracks.
That’s especially true for the sequel trilogy, which was a cavalcade of missed opportunities and disappointment. The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker introduced a trove of compelling ideas, only to leave most of them unexplored. Even the trilogy’s main trio suffered from wasted potential. The sequels’ heroine, Rey Skywalker (Daisy Ridley), will at least get the chance to continue her story with a new feature film. But what of her companions, Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) and Finn (John Boyega)?
