Not sure I’m shooting in anyone’s foot (not mine) but I started my post with
Another weird idea in TLJ that comes as a issue from the lack of “master plan”
I believe I’m saying the opposite for the Poe example who is some kind of hero in TFA and then a moron in TLJ, but nothing is gradual between TFA and TLJ (inner TLJ logic there is something gradual about Poe from start to end, but as a sequel it feels a little bit off from TFA to TLJ).
edit: but I like him more in TLJ, he’s just a super Wedge in TFA, even if the admiral subplot is weak, Poe as a character is better constructed in TLJ.
