Exclusive: Poe Dameron’s Deleted Scenes

While Oscar Isaac’s role in The Force Awakens may have been cut down to give Harrison Ford more screen time, Poe fans are in for a real treat when the Blu-ray lands. We hear the disc features over 90 minutes of deleted scenes, with at least 30 minutes devoted to previously unseen footage of the best pilot in the Resistance. Keep reading for a scene-by-scene breakdown. Do it for Finn!

A source going by the name “Uncle Rico” has revealed that up to 30 minutes of deleted scenes featuring Poe Dameron will be on the Blu-ray release of The Force Awakens. Below are a handful of the most provocative.

JAKKU. NIGHT. The First Order has laid waste to a village in search of a map to Luke Skywalker. KYLO REN approaches a Resistance pilot who is believed to know the whereabouts of the map. POE DAMERON is subdued by stormtroopers as the Dark Sider kneels down and studies the rebel.

POE:   So how’s this work? You talk? I talk? It’s hard to hear you with all the — you know — apparatus and stuff.

KYLO removes his helmet to reveal a nouveau mullet, perfectly tossed, framing a face more at home in the pages of French Vogue than Starkiller Base. He puckers his lips, and throws his hair back. The effect freezes POE similar to the blaster bolt KYLO stopped in mid-air, which is still floating behind the group. The pilot finally speaks.

POE:   Dear God I’m in love.

INT. KYLO’S FINALIZER. GENERAL HUX brings the Resistance prisoner POE DAMERON to kneel before a 32-foot tall hologram of LORD SNOKE.

SNOKE:          Kneel before the all-wise Snoke!

POE:               S’nope!

SNOKE: [Looks to Hux]  General! [Back to Poe] Excuse me?

POE:               I’m gonna call you Snope! Yeah buddy!

SNOPE:          You shall not reduce me to such drivel.

POE:               S’mores?

SMORES: [Looks at Hux again] General! My name is non-negotiable!

[Hux begins to speak]

POE: Supreme Commander?

SUPREME COMMANDER: …go on…

POE: El Supreme Commandante Snoke!

SUPREME COMMANDANTE: It is true then. You are the namer they spoke of.

POE: Sure, Spokes. Gotta motor though! We gotta lotta company!

SPOKES: [Sighs, looks to Hux] General!

HUX: Yes your leadership?

SPOKES: Get this putrid filth out of my sight. Kylo Ren can get the information from him, I can’t take this anymore. [Hologram fades]

INT. MAZ’S CASTLE. MAZ probes HAN SOLO about the identity of his mysterious young companions. She ignores REY and stares at FINN.

MAZ:   I see the eyes of a man who wants to run… into the arms of another man.

MAZ recalibrates her lenses to maximum magnification. She jumps on the bar table and stares deeply into FINN’S eyes.

EXTREME CLOSEUP of FINN’S right pupil… We see a vision of FINN and POE holding hands running along an all-inclusive resort on Tatooine. POE carries the couple’s adopted baby wookiee atop his shoulders. The furry child is wearing a pint-sized version of POE’S flight jacket. The little wookiee holds a pussy willow as FINN concentrates and uses the Force to make the seeds float off the stem and rise toward the baby’s nose. The tyke sneezes and the three of them laugh and share a hug as the twin suns sparkle above the resort’s man-made lake.
ZOOM OUT OF FINN’S EYE BACK TO THE PRESENT.

FINN:   You don’t know me! I have lots of girlfiends!! Phasma touched my shoulder! I even hugged Rey!!

——-

EXT. RESISTANCE BASE. POE DAMERON and FINN are finally reunited after believing each other dead.

POE:   That’s my jacket.

FINN:   Oh… here take–

POE:   No keep it, it suits you, really hugs your curves.

FINN:   What?

POE:   The jacket. It’s stunning on you. Have you ever thought about modeling?

FINN:   Well, no, I mean… I was raised to do one thing.

POE:   Honest, you look better in that thing than the girl who wore it on the runway.

FINN:  What? This is a girl’s jacket?

POE winks at FINN. BB-8 makes a mischievous sound and gives FINN a “thumb’s up” using his robot arm.

FINN:   (To self): I can do this? I can do this!

 ——-

INT. RESISTANCE BASE. MESS HALL. POE DAMERON sits at a lunch table across from fellow pilot Temmin Wexley, a portly fellow with a penchant for a unique brand of hamburger he’s dubbed the Grunburger.

POE:                           Whats your name again, fatass?

TEMMIN:                    Temmin.

POE:                           What? Nah, that ain’t gonna work for me, Tubbs. How about…

POE slaps the back of Temmin’s neck.

POE:                           …that?

TEMMIN:                    Ouch! What?

POE:                           That sound, fatty… SNAP! Yea that works!

TEMMIN WEXLEY becomes SNAP WEXLEY.
——-

EXT. RESISTANCE BASE. FINN is comatose and resting on a gurney. REY approaches him and assures her friend that they will see each other again. She kisses him on the forehead, and leaves to prepare for her journey to visit LUKE SKYWALKER.

POE DAMERON enters riding a WHITE TAUNTAUN and wearing a royal blue cape attached to a dashing orange jumpsuit. The Resistance pilot jumps off his mount and carefully approaches FINN. Tears stream down POE’S face as he looks upon his sleeping friend. POE bends over FINN and plants a gentle kiss on his lips. After a minute or two, the wounded man blinks and smiles. FINN was awakened from his coma with love in his eyes.

POE:   Bro?

FINN:   Bro.

POE smiles and kisses FINN again.

IRIS OUT. CREDITS.
