How Han Solo Saved Poe Dameron BEFORE Force Awakens

Warning: SPOILERS for Star Wars: Poe Dameron Annual #2

Han Solo and Poe Dameron never met in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but a new canon comic shows they did work together before the movie began – and how Han and Chewie were secretly looking out for Leia and her Resistance.

That second twist isn’t a shock, since the new Star Wars films made it clear Han and Leia never stopped loving one another. But in Star Wars: Poe Dameron Annual #2, seeing the proof is sure to hit a soft spot for the longtime fans. Not to mention the confirmation that Han was also looking out for his successor as the Rebels’ new hot-shot pilot, Poe Dameron.

Harrison Ford and Oscar Isaac didn’t get to share a scene that was all their own, but the comics do the next best thing.

But more often than not, a comic book Annual is used to tell one-off, self-contained, and usually fan-pleasing short stories. That’s the case in Poe Dameron too, with Leia sending her star pilot and his Black Squadron on a different kind of top secret mission than fans are used to.
