“The visions swept into Poe’s mind, like a flood of memories, dreams, and possibilities.”

- Poe Dameron: Free Fall by Alex Segura

Visions, huh? An interesting choice of words there, just saying. ;)

It’s gonna be a few years before they make post-TROS content. But when they do, I hope they make Poe force-sensitive as well.

AU Overview | Force Sensitive Poe | Sequel Timeline |

Story

Poe is born sensitive in the force. Before he can even remember, he has a friend in the force: the force sensitive tree his mother plants by their home on Yavin 4. Poe and his tree like each other very much. Poe waters it daily and his tree helps him sense the jungle rats playing nearby and the birds of paradise gliding above them. When Poe is 4 years old, his uncle Luke comes for a visit and Poe has a lot of fun with him and the games they play. He particularly likes the one where he gets to talk to him without using their mouths. He decides uncle Luke is his favourite uncle so far because he's the first one who seems to believe him when Poe tells him about his tree and what the birds and jungle rats are up to every day.

Poe doesn't go to start training in Luke's new Jedi Academy until he's 11. He's hesitant, at first, because he doesn't want the jedi training to get in the way of him becoming a pilot - but uncle Luke reassures him he could still do both. Besides, his friend Ben is going too, so that should be fun.

Poe completes his training at the age of 19 and leaves the temple to train in the Pilot Academy of the New Republic which has always been his dream. He's away there when his childhood friend, Ben Solo, looses his way. He's away when their uncle Luke fails him, when the temple is burned and when Ben Solo becomes Kylo Ren. For a while, he searches for them both but when it proves fruitless, he wanders the galaxy, aimless lost. When the threat of the First Order arises, he joins the Resistance to help fight it with whatever skills he has, as a jedi and a pilot.

Force Abilities

Poe is uniquely talented in the Sense abilities of the force. His exposure and natural communication with the force tree since he was barely a baby either caused or fuelled that talent. He is capable in Control abilities, but lacks the most in the Alter aspect of the force.

He is naturally able to sense the presence of other beings around him, sense their emotions, motivations and even thoughts. He’s able to project his feelings onto others, usually to soothe or comfort them, or just to let others experience what he is feeling. In the same way, he’s able to project his thoughts and memories to willing or non-shielded others.

Combat

Poe is naturally ambidextrous, which made it easier and natural for him to wield two weapons at the same time. He dual wields two lightsabers, which are a little shorter than your usual one - common among dual wielders. However, in most combat situations with non-force users he will use a lightsaber in one hand and a blaster in the other.

In combat, Poe relies heavily on his physical skills, mainly his speed and reflexes, the latter amplified by his talent for force sense and precognition. His fighting style is a mix of swift offense and rapid dodges, somewhat lacking in his defense. His difficulty in utilising external force abilities (force jump, amplifying his strength & speed etc) puts him at a disadvantage against other force users in direct combat.

Lightsabers

He made his two lightsabers at 15. It took him a long time to imbue his crystals with the force, partly due to his insecurities about his difficulties with wielding basic force techniques (push, pull, telekinesis etc). The colour of the crystal was a surprise, but one he saw as rather fitting: Poe embodies a lot of qualities of the old Jedi Sentinels, utilizing many of his other skills first and the force as an extra bonus rather than his primary focus. He also spends most of his life after training working for the Resistance, as a pilot, as a spy and as a soldier, rather than following a typical Jedi path.

Poe Dameron is force sensitive and you can't convince me otherwise

[ladyofidril]

BB-8 beeped, clearly confused. Thanks to Poe’s occasional visits to the Academy, BB-8 had come in contact with Ben, visited him. Poe couldn’t imagine what BB-8 was feeling, wondering why their former friend would want to hurt them. ”I don’t know, buddy,” Poe said. Even checking over Kylo — he wasn’t a medic, but still — he could already feel the anger, the betrayal and hurt, all but spiking in him. “I never thought that...he’d do that. I don’t even know why. What he got out of it.” He sighed. “It doesn’t matter. We’ll get in contact with the Resistance, we’ll lock up that traitorous bastard and...everything will be fine.” He wished, in that moment, that he could believe himself. The whole idea that everything would be okay after they locked Kylo — Ben, his best friend, the man he loved — up.

Theory

In TFA, after Finn broke Poe out, Kylo knew it was Poe that escaped. He also knew Finn was the one that did it. I remember reading somewhere that someone with force sensitivity gives off a bigger aura than someone that isn't.

Basically, the only reason Kylo knew who they were was because they're force sensitive. That's why Finn is such a good soldier, and why Poe can shoot stormtroopers right next to Han, Finn, and Chewie with his X-Wing without hitting them.

As amazing as the “I know” scene is I think the most significant Damerey moment in TLJ is when Rey is being tortured by Snoke and it suddenly cuts to--Poe, of all people, waking up startled and running to the window, as if he can feel Rey’s pain......hint of a Force connection between them?
