It might be confusing, it was just a thought. This edit leaves some holes, and I’m not sure if there’s a way to fix all of them.

And it’s true, Poe’s attack is perfunctory, but it feels similar to Rey’s battle with Kylo. Han isn’t chained up somewhere while Kylo twirls his mustache and laughs maniacally, Han is dead. Rey really has no reason to fight Kylo other than he’s a threat that must be dealt with. All she has is vengeance and the will to survive, there is no way to win everything. Both Rey and Poe can only hope for a Pyrrhic victory at this point.

I would cut as much of Poe’s trench run as possible, to both cut down on ANH references and to downplay the perfunctory nature of the mission.
