After watching Solo: A Star Wars Story nearly my entire view surrounding Han Solo and Chewbacca’s stories has changed, as this standalone film has filled in gaps I didn’t even know I wanted to be answered and provided me tantalizing ideas for the future of Star Wars as well.

And now I have legitimate proof that Poe was regarded as one of the antagonists of the film. Look at this poster. Continue reading The Proof That Poe Was Regarded As a Villain in ‘The Last Jedi’ →
