6) X-Wings In Flight
The second glimpse of the famous X-Wing fighter in the trailer comes in the form of a beautiful and exciting shot of a squadron of them, flying above the waters of an unrevealed planet, punctuated by an exciting “Wooo!” from Oscar Isaac, who plays new character Poe Dameron.
Isaac described Poe as “the best fricking pilot in the galaxy” during Star Wars Celebration, and noted that “he’s been sent on a mission by a certain princess and ends up coming across Finn and their fates are forever intertwined.”
Considering Finn (Boyega’s character) is a Stormtrooper and Poe is a Rogue pilot, I wonder if the two will first meet as enemies on opposing sides, or if Finn has already met up with Rey at that point.
Regardless, it’s great to see the X-Wing in action once more and Isaac’s yell of excitement perfectly mimics that which likely came from the mouths of Star Wars fans across the globe when they saw this footage.
