It really feels out of character how callous Poe is towards 3PO and even “cone face”, compared to how he treats BB-8 in the previous movies. Though to be fair he’s mean to Finn and Rey aswell and just acts annoyed throughout the whole movie, he honestly just feels like a different character. I get he’s supposed to be struggling with the weight of becoming Leia’s succesor and leading the Resistance, but we don’t really get enough of that throughout the film to justify his behaviour, and his character doesn’t really change in any meaningful way, there’s no character arc where he learns to be a leader (there was in TLJ but I guess he kinda forgot), Lando is the one who ends up unifying the galaxy off screen while Poe just jumps in an X-wing and blows something up.
