The new teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker sees a return of the whole gang, but it’s Poe Dameron in particular who must deal with the struggle of finding a way to lead what little is left of the Resistance. The Last Jedi showed just how hot-headed and insubordinate that Poe could be, but by the end he seemed to have learned some lessons from both General Leia and Vice Admiral Holdo on how to be a leader. Hinting at Poe’s eventual rise to a leadership role, while under siege in the base on Crait, Leia even says to the last few Resistance soldiers, “What are you looking at me for? Follow him!” IGN talked to actor Oscar Isaac at Star Wars Celebration Chicago about how his character carries those lessons of leadership into The Rise of Skywalker. It’s especially difficult because, as he explains, Leia is no longer with them.
