Poe Dameron seems to be a full name so he probably isn't related to OT-characters. The name enforces my initial feeling that he might be "just an X-wing pilot" like Biggs, Wedge etc. The OT-pilots are well-liked by fans, the unsung heroes of the Rebellion if you will. Kinda makes sense to give an X-wing pilot a bigger role. That is very OT to me. A regular guy. In the PT the heroes were anything but regular guys.

I like the name, it has a nice ring to it and I can imagine me as a 7 year old and my brother arguing about who gets to be POE DAMERON! I guess my bro would have won the argument though, he has darker hair and him being a few years older seemed to help him get his way lol.
