30 Greatest Star Wars Characters

17. Poe Dameron

Poe Dameron is a pilot. A really good pilot, but a pilot all the same. So why is he so good?

Introduced in Episode VII: The Force Awakens played by Oscar Isaac, Poe is an ace pilot in the Resistance and flies a distinguishable black and gold X-Wing joined by BB-8. As an ace pilot, Poe rises up the ranks to become an integral part of the Resistance, leading the attack on Starkiller Base before ensuring the forces can escape from the First Order in The Last Jedi.

Dameron is sure to play a vital role in Episode IX too, and with a whole host of tie-in media featuring the character having emerged since the Force Awakens, it's clear that, out of all the recent additions to the Star Wars canon, he is by far one of the most beloved.
