Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 8 Biggest Reveals From Force Friday

8. Poe Dameron's X-Wing

Allegedly the best frickin' pilot in the galaxy (a certain Mr Solo might have something to say about that), we've had a couple of glimpses of the whooping Poe Dameron inside his X-Wing in the two teaser trailers released so far, but of the three new heroes he has had by far the least screen time, and the least information revealed. Now thanks to Lego we can get a better look at the ship he'll be flying, and as you can see it's got a pretty interesting colour scheme. Gone is the grey and red, and in its place is a pretty sleek black number, with some orange paintwork as well. This could be confirmation of the rumour that Dameron is part of the Black Squadron. Obviously there was the Red Squadron in the original trilogy, a team of Rebel fighter pilots, and it seems that with the change to the Resistence there's been a new colour scheme introduced. You'd assume the Black Squadron would still function in a pretty similar way, with Poe Dameron as their leader.
