Yeah sure they’re dragging you off to be tortured and killed, but make sure you get a good look at the decor before you go, won’t you?

y’know, considering how the resistance is desperately underfunded and canonically runs x-wings held together with duct tape and hope, i think this is poe’s ‘well shit’ moment of finally realizing what they’re really up against. the first order is so much better equipped and funded and i need to know every detail about their dealings with shady corporations and multiple money laundering gigs.

#tqbh that middle gif doesn’t look so much like a ‘well shit’ as a bone-deep ‘oh no’ #‘oh no there’s no way we can defeat that’ #like that half second where he looks legit hopeless? yeah. #now add that to the fact that poe knows no one’s coming to rescue him #and even if they did #there’s no way in hell they could get him out :)))) (x)

I was watching the movie last night, and I noticed this – and yeah, I read it as Poe going OHHHHH FUUUUUCCCKKK because the reason Leia’s set up the Resistance is because the New Republic is handwaving the First Order as a bunch of pissy little Imperialist relics with no real power or influence. I’m pretty sure this is the first time one of the leading Resistance pilots has seen what the fuck the First Order has actually become.

Also, I just love the way he’s so excited to fly a TIE fighter. Er. He could be killed at any second and for a moment he’s just ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOM I LOVE THIS THING
