The galaxy far, far away is only getting bigger and bigger with each passing year.

And with so many new stories being told on the small screen, in video games, comics, and other forms of media joining the already staggering collection of Star Wars tales that have already been written and thrown into both theatres and fans' homes, it's only natural for fans to be left with a few questions about this epic universe.

Even those who religiously enjoy the Skywalker Saga a few times a year, spend countless hours tapping away at the latest Jedi adventure on their console, or spend many a Sunday afternoon flicking through a canon novel can find themselves scratching their head at a perplexing occurrence or apparent disappearance from time to time.

We already have one article on Star Wars questions that may have confused you, but there are so many queries that get raised by the galaxy far, far away that it only makes sense to do another. This time, we're going to shine some much-needed light on everything from a lack of certain Sith characteristics, to exactly what happened to specific characters in-between movies.

This galaxy can sometimes be a bit of a confusing place, folks. But your days of being baffled by the following questions are about to come to an end!

8. Where Did Poe Go After THAT Crash? - Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens

Not too long after meeting Finn during the opening stages of Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens, Resistance pilot Poe Dameron teamed up with the defecting stormtrooper, with the two making their great escape from a First Order Star Destroyer and heading for Jakku.

Only, before they could land on the desert planet, their TIE Fighter was blasted out of the sky.

And it was in this moment when fans assumed either Poe had been ejected from the falling ship... or shockingly died within the film's opening act. Bummer.

Poe was ultimately revealed to have survived the crash, of course, meeting back up with his pal and BB-8 at the Resistance base later on in Episode VII. But that reunion still didn't give viewers the answer to where in the hell he'd been in the time since that Jakku crash-landing.

Those only came when sitting down to read Alan Dean Foster's novelisation of The Force Awakens that was released around the same time.

Instead of being ejected from the falling aircraft like Finn, Poe actually remained in the cockpit until the ship hit the ground. He was then thrust from the ship, leaving only his jacket behind.

After being knocked out from the impact, he woke up to find he was on his own. But he'd then bump into a Blarina scavenger called Naka Iit, with Poe then helping him to take down some thieves and earning himself a ride back to the Resistance from one of Iit's mates.

So, you have Naka lit to thank for Starkiller Base eventually being blown to bits!
