    Oscar Isaac was interviewed in Metro (UK paper) and had this to say about Episode IX and working with John Boyega:

    https://www.metro.news/sixty-seconds-with-oscar-isaac/1478976/

    Presumably you were in London shooting the last in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Does it feel like a family reunion?
    It absolutely is. To the point that when we were finishing, the thought that, ‘Oh my God, that’s it, we are not going to be together like this again, ever’ was really emotional. I never did a TV show or anything where I had a recurring role — and you don’t know where the story is going but you know you are in it. It was a big challenge. But it’s also really fun to have three films to develop a character over. I think the one thing I can say [about Star Wars: Episode IX] is that it has been the most fun for me, particularly working with John Boyega because we have just had so much more to do together and we just really connected in a great way. It was really a wonderful way to finish it for me because John was the first person I met right when I screen-tested. It was just with me and him. So it just felt like a real full-circle thing.

    Oscar Isaac: “[Poe] takes those [lessons of leadership] on. Where we start in Episode IX is, they’re decimated, there isn’t much of a Resistance to even lead, so I think what they’re trying to do is find allies, find anybody they can that can help them, help their cause -- it just feels like it’s totally lost. As the film goes on, I think you start to see him really grapple with not only the lack of leadership -- I mean, Leia is gone -- but also, how do you be a leader when there doesn’t seem to be anybody to lead?” (April 12, 2019)

    Love that we get a glimpse into Poe's past, the books gave a little background but Poe definitely needs more development when compared to Finn or Rey.

    Lots of them telling us about the state of the Resistance and apparently Finn and Poe going on missions for Leia.

    Oscar Isaac: “[Poe]’s been a bit of a lone wolf, on purpose: That’s how he always kind of viewed himself. He was the one guy alone in that X-Wing, and now he’s got some co-pilots, he’s got people on his flanks, so it’s a new way that we’re seeing him.” (April 12, 2019)

    Oscar Isaac: “It’s just so profound [to see Carrie Fisher in the new teaser for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker]. It’s so moving and heartbreaking at the same time because she should be here. I think that the film deals with it in a way that will allow everyone to feel like we can all both mourn together and feel some closure.” (April 12, 2019)

    That makes Kaz's codename for Poe (Lone Wolf) even more fitting!

    Poe never struck me as a loner type, I always saw him as the most sociable character out of the new ST characters. Kinda like the guy who is friends or on good terms with everyone.

    That's...interesting. I'm starting to think the Poe Dameron in his self-titled comics is a completely different character than the one in the ST. In the comics, he's very open, inviting, and definitely willing to with others. Sure he goes on a few missions by himself but I never saw him as a lone wolf. In the films, he's a lot more rash, cocky, and entitled.

    Poe is with someone at a spa in resistance reborn. they are saying that they (the person who made the tweet) are crying cause I guess its either an entertaining scene or the person who poe is with at is someone we know. be it Finn or Rey or someone we wouldn't expect.
