This would have been an easy five stars except for a couple of things:
- Charles Soule hasn’t read the TFA novelisation or the Poe Dameron Flight Log
- If Poe hated that jacket, why did he keep it the entire time he was in the resistance, hm? Says he did in the novelisation. Either the novelisation isn’t Actual Canon (possible), or it’s just that no one cares about it, in which case why are you all being so mean to Alan Dean Foster
- The Flight Log clearly states that Ohn Gos didn’t take Poe straight to D’Qar, they went to Yavin 4 first; because a) Poe’s X-wing (as in, Black One) was at home on Yavin 4, and b) Poe had promised to pay Ohn Gos with koyo melons from Kes’s orchard
- I WANTED TO SEE KES. HE DOESN’T GET TO BE IN THINGS ANYMORE. WHY ARE YOU HIDING HIM
- “Light torture”? We’re glossing over this AGAIN? Kylo Ren Force-tortured Poe IN THE BRAIN, c’mon man
- Star Wars authors please just read each other’s work, these continuity errors are frankly embarrassing, see also: Poe and Rey meeting in the TFA novelisation, and then again for the “”first”” time at the end of TLJ
- Anyway look it was good but for fucks sake what is Pablo Hidalgo’s job if not to check the facts, why did no one have him look at this

I miss Poe so much, and Rey and Finn ofc😭😭

Poe's disappearance and the sudden return in The Force Awakens was a weakness of that film, though what he was up to was described in the novelization. This issue illustrates those events pretty well, though I do wish that the podracing reference had been included. It's also nice to see the new trio together right after the events of The Last Jedi.

A fantastic issue that ties a few things together and fills in some gaps, although there were a couple of continuity errors.

"It was okay / I liked it." - 2.5 star rating, with a round up to a 3.
Welp... it finally happened. We have official bleed into the Sequel films at this point within this comic. It was inevitable. I do however sincerely appreciate twenty-five (25) issues to the left of this moment.
We get a time warp here, with Poe hanging out with Rey and Finn in the Millennium Falcon... where story time kicks off as they are in-flight.
What I do commend here is we get never before seen details to the whole desert ship crash in Episode 7 where Finn gets Poe's Jacket and Poe seems to just vanish, only to later appear in the films with zero explanation to his absence. Poe gets a desert survival mini-arc within an arc here that is well done. For that alone, this one definitely deserves a 3.
Aside from that, we get some Episode 7 - Star Wars: The Force Awakens recap, with the cliff hanger being looking for BB-8 on Takodana.
Getting close to the end. Trying my best to finish these before the year concludes. With only ~3 days left, have to push here at tail end of this series. I am however really trying to maintain a reasonable pace where I am not rushing through these. I do still want to maximize enjoyment and be as fair and impartial as possible for these Poe Dameron, Sequel era comics.
Onward to #27.

Review is of the paper edition as usual.
I really liked this issue. The artwork is always good, but in this issue, it seems even better than normal. We jump forward in time to post-TLJ, but the main story is set during TFA as Poe finally explains to Finn and Rey how he got off Jakku after crashing the TIE Fighter. This is something that has previously been told in the full TFA novelisation, but it's nice to see it retold for those who haven't read the novel - and it looks like this version will give us more detail.
There are one or two occasions where Rey and Finn's dialogue maybe doesn't quite ring true, but overall it's a good issue - and a great jumping-in point for people who might be coming to the series after having seen TLJ. I look forward to #27.

Want to know what happened in the Millennium Falcon after The Last Jedi? The new trio finally met, or more specifically, Poe and Rey, despite some continuity error in the movie vis a vis the TFA novelization. (Oh, and my Damerey heart just gotten warm and all. Especially when Rey became so competitive when Poe's claiming he's an ace pilot LOL)
This single issue also starts a flashback arc on what happened with Poe after he and Finn crashed at Jakku. I gotta read TFA novel now.

Yay! Woo-hoo! (And all that.)
That was an awesome way to start a new story arc. Charles Soule continues to bring Star Wars all together. And Phil Noto and Ángel Unzueta bring it all to beautiful life.

Really enjoying this series, and excited to see where this new arc goes now that they are covering a time period post-Episode 8. This issue was cool as it filled us in on what Poe was up to between crashing on Jakku in TFA and his re-appearance on D'Qar later in that movie.

A nice way of interjecting canonical material without infringing upon the direction that the franchise is taking after The Last Jedi.

First post The Last Jedi story. Kinda. Very cool. And as always for this comic, well done.
August 29, 2020
Yeah, not too sure about this issue... Nothing happens, it's more Poe telling stuff than the author showing us what happened. It was both very short and somewhat boring?
