Recruiting from among the enemies

In one particular scene from the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer, we see Oscar Isaac’s Poe Dameron facing Kylo Ren – though this is sugar-coating it. In fact, what we see is the latter torturing the former – to what end?

It may just be a scene in which Kylo Ren tries to extract information about the rebels from the captured X-Wing pilot (a torture scene which will leave the hero dead). But there is also another possibility, of Kylo Ren brainwashing Poe and making him his minion.

As we have found out, Poe Dameron is a skilled X-Wing pilot, among the very best. He is also perceived as one of the unspoken leaders of the rebels – so capturing him and turning him to the dark side is a battle won by the First Order. The rebels will lose a leader and become demoralized, while we will get a twist which opens some other interesting possibilities.

In any way, whether his character dies or not, we are more than certain that Oscar Isaac will deliver an intense performance!
