Imagine Poe Dameron singing.
And while I do partially mean it in a gratuitous “I want Oscar Isaac singing in Star Wars” king of way, I think there’s a lot to work with.
Poe singing playfully at BB-8, a loose rhythm as he makes up the words on the spot. BB8 beeps along happily.
Poe singing gently, like a whisper, by Finn’s bedside after the destruction of the Starkiller. Finn vaguely remembers the tune weeks later, after he’s woken up and hums it to himself. He doesn’t remember where he knows it from.
Sometimes he’ll sing without quite realizing it while he’s flying. He feels most free when flying, it’s something he can’t quite explain. So imagine that slow smile he has just for himself, and he sings a light melody, maybe something swinging. He only ever sings during non-stress situations, then he is too focused, calling out orders and evaluating the situation. But during drills he will without realizing the rest of his team can hear. Until Jessika starts singing along.
When Rey experiences her first rain on D’Qar, stands still for a moment, closing her eyes before racing out further to let the water soak her. Some of the others with the Resistance look at her strangely while going about their duties, shaking their heads at the girl who watches and waits and is hesitant to ask her many, many questions. Some who know more of where she came from look at her sadly for a lingering moment. Poe sees her and remembers the excitement he had as a small child during the downpours on Yavin 4. He says nothing but stands next to her and starts singing the simple rhymes his parents used to say to him so long ago. She looks confused for a moment, turning to face him and her eyes searching before her face slowly splits into a gentle and radiant smile in the pouring rain.
